: Connect a stable 15V DC source to the VCC pin for the internal gate-drive logic. Connect your logic high/low PWM inputs (5V signals) to the IN and LIN pins.
: Rapid switching transitions create infinite mathematical slopes in the simulator.

The IR2110 is a high-power driver IC that features independent high- and low-side referenced output channels. It operates with logic supply voltages ranging from 5V to 20V and handles offset voltages up to 500V. Simulating the IR2110 is critical for several reasons:
If you cannot get the IR2110 to load but see an in your libraries, you may substitute the IR2112. It is pin-compatible and functionally similar (though it has minor differences in deadtime and logic). Many users have successfully used the IR2112 in H-bridge inverters to simulate the behavior of the IR2110.
In this example, we will simulate a half-bridge inverter using the IR2110 library for Proteus 8.
Once you have the component placed in your workspace (either via an imported library or by substituting a similar driver), here is how to set up a proper simulation.
This is no longer the case. Modern versions of Proteus (specifically v8.15 and later) have officially added the IR2110 and IR2113 to their simulation models library, solving the compatibility and model sourcing issue for many designers.
