The Supertex 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 level translator uses a proprietary circuit, which provides DC coupling together with high-speed operation. The output stage of the MD1811 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 and –5 volts, and the output L and H levels may be varied anywhere over the range of –5 to +5 volts. The output stage is capable of peak currents of up to ±2 amps, depending on the supply voltages used and load capacitance present.
