MD1213
High-Speed Dual-MOSFET Driver
Features General Description The MD1213 is a high-speed dual-MOSFET driver. It is
designed to drive high-voltage P-channel and
N-channel MOSFETs for medical ultrasound and other
applications requiring a high-output current for a
capacitive load. The high-speed input stage of the
MD1213 can operate from 1.8V to 5V logic interface
with an optimum operating input signal range of 1.8V to
3.3V. An adaptive threshold circuit is used to set the
level translator switch threshold to the average of the
input logic 0 and logic 1 levels. The input logic levels
may be ground referenced even though the driver is
putting out bipolar signals. The level translator uses a
proprietary circuit, which provides DC coupling
together with high-speed operation. 6 ns Rise and Fall Time with 1000 pF Load
