The Supertex MD1715, paired with the Supertex TC8020, forms a two channel, five level, high voltage, high speed transmit pulser chip set. The chip set is designed for medical ultrasound imaging applications, but can also be used for metal flaw detection, nondestructive evaluation, and piezoelectric transducer drivers.

The MD1715 is a two channel logic controller circuit with 12 low impedance MOSFET gate drivers. There are two sets of control logic inputs, one each for channels A and B. Each channel consists of three pairs of MOSFET gate drivers. These drivers are designed to match the drive requirements of the Supertex TC8020.

The TC8020 is the output stage of the pulser, with six pairs of MOSFETs. Each pair consists of a P-channel and an N-channel MOSFET. They are designed to have the same impedance and can provide typical peak currents of ±3.5 amps at 200V.

Nondestructive evaluation

The Supertex TC8020 consists of six pairs of high voltage, low threshold N- and P-channel MOSFETs in a 56-lead QFN package.

All MOSFETs have integrated gate-to-source resistors and gateto-source Zener diode clamps which are desired for high voltage pulser applications. The complimentary, high-speed, high voltage, gate-clamped N- and P-channel MOSFET pairs utilize an advanced vertical DMOS structure and Supertex’s well-proven silicon-gate manufacturing process. This combination produces a device with the power handling capabilities of bipolar transistors and with the high input impedance and positive temperature coefficient inherent in MOS devices.

Characteristic of all MOS structures, this device is free from thermal runaway and thermally-induced secondary breakdown. Supertex’s vertical DMOS FETs are ideally suited to a wide range of switching and amplifying applications where very low threshold voltage, high breakdown voltage, high input impedance, low input and output capacitance, and fast switching speeds are desired.
