The Supertex 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. The output stage of the MD1210 has separate power connections enabling the output signal L and H levels to be chosen independently from the supply voltages used for the majority of the circuit. As an example, the input logic levels may be 0 and 1.8 volts, the control logic may be powered by +5.0 and –5.0 volts, and the output L and H levels may be varied anywhere over the range of –5.0 to +5.0 volts.
