I need to make some high voltage pulses, and found this cool IR2213 gate driver. The datasheet is fairly fuzzy and there are no appnotes or eval boards, so I figured I'd breadboard it just to make sure.
Seems to work OK, but it really needs a 15 volt supply to work. And then the logic inputs have to be 15 volts, which means I'll be using a gate driver chip to drive a gate driver chip.
The inputs have to be driven out of phase, with anti-shoot-through timing, too. I guess I shouldn't complain.
I'll be needing some high-voltage scope probes. Digikey has them from $270 to $1600. Yikes. So I tried Amazon: $25 each, free shipping with Amazon Prime.
