This LT Spice circuit is recreated from the IR2184 datasheet on how to make a complementary PWM signal with dead time. However, the problem I am facing now is the PWM fed into the 2 mosfets as shown in the diagram above, the dead time between the 2 signals does not increase even if I increase the capacitance value highlighed above. May I know how to increase the deadtime between the 2 signals as shown. My LT SPice file is below to be downloaded.:)

Thank you and have a nice day:)

The boot-strap capacitor C1 does not determine dead-time. The IR2184 has a non-modifiable internally-provided 500nS dead-time.
You could use an alternative IC having separate Hin and Lin inputs to customise dead-time.

There is a version of the IR2184 called IR21844 that has a pin to control the deadtime.
The boostrap capacitor has no effect on the dead-time.
There are other ICs which can automatically adjust their dead-time, by waiting for the output waveform before switching the transistor. MIC4102 is an example, but it only works to 120V DC.
