Microchip Technology MD1210
The MD1210 is a high-speed, dual-MOSFET driver. It is designed to drive high-voltage P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs for medical ultrasound and other applications requiring a high output current for a capacitive load. The high-speed input stage of the MD1210 can operate from 1.2V to 5V logic interface with an optimum operating input signal range of 1.8V to 3.3V.FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MD1210 is a high-speed, dual-MOSFET driver. An adaptive threshold circuit is used to set the level translator switch threshold to the average of the input logic 0 and logic 1 levels. The input logic levels may be ground referenced even though the driver is putting out bipolar signals. The level translator uses a proprietary circuit, which provides DC coupling together with high-speed operation. VDD1, VDD2 and VH should be connected to the positive supply voltage, and VSS1, VSS2 and VL should be connected to 0V or ground.
