General Description
The Supertex HV7350 is an eight channel monolithic high voltage highspeed pulse generator with built-in fast return to zero damping FETs. This high voltage and high-speed integrated circuit is designed for portable medical ultrasound image devices.
HV7350 consists of a controller logic interface circuit, level translators, MOSFET gate drives, and high current power P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs as the output stage for each channel.
The output peak currents of each channel are guaranteed to be over ±1.0A with up to ±60V pulse swings as well as return-to-zero (RTZ) mode. The gate drivers for the output MOSFETs are powered by built-in linear 5.0V
regulators referenced to VPP and VNN. This direct coupling topology of the gate drivers not only saves four floating voltage suppl...
