MAX14811
Dual, Unipolar/Bipolar, High-Voltage Digital Pulsers
with Fault Condition Management
General Description
Features
The MAX14811 integrated circuit generates high-voltage,
high-frequency unipolar or bipolar pulses from low-volt-
age logic inputs. The dual pulser features independent
logic inputs, independent high-voltage pulser outputs
with active clamps, and independent high-voltage sup-
ply inputs.
S Fault Condition Management
S Highly Integrated, High-Voltage, High-Frequency
Unipolar/Bipolar Pulser
S 9I Output Impedance and 2.0A (typ) Output
Current
S 27I Active Clamp
The device features fault condition management to pro-
tect the outputs. The outputs enter three-state if both
INP_ and INN_ are logic-high. The device has a 9I
output impedance for the high-voltage outputs and a
27I impedance for the active clamp. The high-voltage
outputs are guaranteed to provide 2.0A (typ) output
current. All the pulser outputs and clamp outputs have
overvoltage protection.
S Pulser and Clamp Overvoltage Protection
S 0 to +220V Unipolar or 110V Bipolar Outputs
S Matched Rise/Fall Times and Matched Propagation
Delays
S CMOS-Compatible Logic Inputs
S 7mm x 7mm, 56-Pin TQFN Package
The device uses three logic inputs per channel to control
the positive and negative pulses and active clamp. Also
included are two independent enable inputs. Disabling
EN_ ensures the output MOSFETs are not accidentally
turned on during fast power-supply ramping. This allows
for faster ramp times and shorter delays between puls-
ing modes. A low-power shutdown mode reduces power
consumption to less than 1FA. All digital inputs are
CMOS compatible.
Applications
Ultrasound Medical Imaging
Cleaning Equipment
Industrial Imaging/Flaw Detection
Piezoelectric Drivers
Test Equipment
The device is available in a 7mm x 7mm, 56-pin TQFN
exposed-pad package, and is specified over the 0NC to
+70NC commercial temperature range.
