High-Speed Dual FET Drivers Added by Supertex

Supertex Inc. has introduced the MD1211, a high-speed, dual MOSFET driver IC designed to drive high voltage N- and P-channel MOSFETs in applications such as medical ultrasound imaging, non-destructive testing, clock/line driving and piezoelectric transducer driving.

The MD1211 features a symmetrical rise and fall time with a load that delivers superior line driving features. The IC's output can swing below ground to enable flexibility in designs and it also includes a low jitter design. Other features include 1.2V to 5.0V input CMOS compatibility to simplify design and a smart logic threshold that allows for single supply operation.

"The MD1211 provides an adaptable, efficient solution for driving MOSFETs in a number of applications," states Ahmed Masood, Vice President of Marketing for Supertex. "The introduction of this part further strengthens Supertex's robust family of MOSFET drivers and gives manufacturers a wider choice when selecting a driver to match their needs."

The MD1211 is available in an 8-pin SOIC package. The part is RoHS compliant. Samples are available from stock. Lead-time for production quantities is 4-6 weeks ARO. Pricing is US$0.99 each for the MD1211LG-G in 1K quantities.
