General Description
The Supertex HV7370 is a four-channel, monolithic high
voltage, high-speed damper. It is designed for working with
the HV738, HV748 or HV758 for medical ultrasound waveform
generators requiring fast return-to-zero applications. The
HV7370 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 stages of each channel are designed to provide
peak output currents of over ±0.85A for damping to ground,
with up to ±100V swing. The control from inputs to outputs uses
direct coupling topology, which not only saves components
and PCB layout space, but also makes the damping frequency
function down to DC.
