EL7156C
High Performance Pin Driver
Features
General Description
• Clocking Speeds up to 40MHz
• 15ns tr/tf at 2000pF CLOAD
• 0.5ns Rise and Fall Times
Mismatch
The EL7156C high-performance pin driver with tri-state is suited to
many ATE and level-shifting applications. The 3.5A peak drive capa-
bility makes this part an excellent choice when driving high
capacitance loads.
• 0.5ns TON-TOFF Prop Delay
Mismatch
• 3.5pF Typical Input Capacitance
• 3.5A Peak Drive
• Low on Resistance of 3.5Ω
• High Capacitive Drive Capability
• Operates from 4.5V to 18V
The output pin OUT is connected to input pins VH or VL respectively,
depending on the status of the IN pin. When the OE pin is active low,
the output is placed in the tri-state mode. The isolation of the output
FETs from the power supplies enables VH and VL to be set indepen-
dently, enabling level-shifting to be implemented. Related to the
EL7155C, the EL7156C adds a lower supply pin VS- and makes VL
an isolated and independent input. This feature adds applications flex-
ibility and improves switching response due to the increased
enhancement of the output FETs.
Applications
This pin driver has improved performance over existing pin drivers. It
is specifically designed to operate at voltages down to 0V across the
switch elements while maintaining good speed and on-resistance
characteristics.
• ATE/Burn-in Testers
• Level Shifting
• IGBT Drivers
• CCD Drivers
Available in the 8-Pin SOIC and 8-Pin PDIP packages, the EL7156C is
specified for operation over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
