►► Medical ultrasound imaging ►► NDT applications ►► Fast resettable fuses ►► High side switches ►► Data acquisition GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Supertex The two terminals are interchangeable. The MD0100 can be considered as a normally closed switch with a typical switching resistance of 15Ω that allows small signals to pass. Once the voltage drop across the two terminals exceeds a nominal value of ±2.0V, the device will start to turn off. In the off state, the MD0100 can withstand up to ±100V across its terminals. A small amount of current, typical of 200µA, is allowed to flow through. The applications for the MD0100 are not limited to just ultrasound. It can also be used for resettable fuses to protect power lines, output short circuit protection, and data acquisition. The MD0100 is available in the SOT-89 package as a single channel device for ease of assembly.
