General Description
The Supertex HV738 is a four-channel, monolithic, high
voltage, high speed pulse generator. It is designed for portable
medical ultrasound applications. This high voltage and high
speed integrated circuit can also be used for piezoelectric,
capacitive or MEMS sensing in ultrasonic nondestructive
detection and sonar ranger applications.
The HV738 consists of a controller logic interface circuit, level
translators, MOSFET gate drivers and high current power
P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs as the output stage for
each channel.
The output stages of each channel are designed to provide
peak output currents over ±1.1A for pulsing, when in mode
4, with up to ±65 volt swings. When in mode 1, all the output
stages drop the peak current to ±140mA for low-voltage CW
mode operation to decrease the power consumption of the
IC. The P and N type of power FETs gate drivers are supplied
by two floating 8.0VDC power supplies referenced to VPP and
VNN. This direct coupling topology of the gate drivers not only
eliminates two high voltage capacitors per channel, but also
makes the PCB layout easier.
