Hi, I’m doing a synchronous buck converter using half bridge driver IR2109 to step down 200 VDC output from my PFC circuit to around 80 VDC. I made a PCB and tested out with Vin = 12 VDC, pulled the to high and drove the IN pin by a 100 kHz PWM signal with 50% duty cycle from the Arduino Uno. The board worked fine, and I got a 6 VDC output. Then I tested it with 200 VDC from the PFC, and the traces from the input bulk capacitor to the high side MOSFET, and between the two MOSFET blew up. Both MOSFET were broken as well. So, what was wrong here?
Could it be the fix deadtime in the IR2109 wasn’t enough to protect MOSFET from shoot-through when Vin = 200 VDC, even though it worked with Vin = 12 VDC?
Thank you in advance.

 

The 1N4004 is much too slow, especially for D1 - try a faster diode, such as the UF4004.
