MD1810
High Speed Quad MOSFET Driver
Features
General Description
► 6.0ns rise and fall time with 1000pF load
► 2.0A peak output source/sink current
► 1.8 to 5.0V input CMOS compatible
► 5.0 to 12V total supply voltage
► Smart logic threshold
The Supertex MD1810 is a high-speed quad MOSFET driver. It
is designed to drive high voltage P- and N-channel MOSFETs for
medical ultrasound imaging applications. The MD1810 can also be
used for ultrasound metal flaw detection, Non-Destructive Testing
(NDT), piezoelectric transducer drive, clock drive, and PIN diode
drive.
► Low jitter design
The MD1810 has four inputs which individually control four outputs.
It also has an output enable (OE) pin. When OE is low, all of the
outputs will be in a high impedence state regardless of their logic
input control. When OE is high, the MD1810 sets the threshold logic
transition to (VOE+VGND)/2. This ensures the transition to always be
at half the amplitude of the logic input signal. This allows the device
to have inherent propagation delay matching regardless of the logic
input amplitude.
► Four matched channels
► Outputs can swing below ground
► Output is high impedence when disabled
► Low inductance package
► High-performance thermally-enhanced QFN
Applications
► Medical ultrasound imaging
► Piezoelectric transducer drivers
► Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
► PIN diode driver
The output stage of the MD1810 has separate power connections
enabling the output signal Land H levels to be chosen independently
from the VDD and VSS supply voltages. As an example, the input logic
levels may be 0 and 1.8V, the control logic may be powered by +5.0
and -5.0V, and the output L and H levels may be varied anywhere
over the range of -5.0 to +5.0V. The output stage is capable of peak
currents of up to ±2.0A, depending on the supply voltages used and
