Yes, a proper IR2110 model will simulate the bootstrap charging and floating high side. Use transient analysis with a long duration (50ms+) to see the bootstrap cap charge.
After installation, place the IR2110 on the schematic. Right-click the part and select Edit Properties. A well-formed model will show:
If you see a grey box with no pins, the library installation has failed (likely missing index file).
The IR2110 is a high-voltage, high-speed half-bridge gate driver commonly used to drive N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs in motor drives, power converters, and inverter circuits. For Proteus 8 users, a reliable IR2110 library component (with correct symbol, footprint, and functional model) streamlines simulation of gate-drive timing, bootstrap operation, and switching behavior. This post explains key requirements, how to obtain or create a quality IR2110 library for Proteus 8, validation tips, common pitfalls, and an example testbench.
Before diving into the library, let's understand why this component is non-negotiable for many designs:
In simulation software like Proteus, without an accurate model, you cannot verify dead-time insertion, bootstrap capacitor charging, or voltage level shifting. Hence, the IR2110 library is critical.
