The Supertex MD1812 is a high-speed quad MOSFET driver. An adaptive threshold circuit is used to set the level translator 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 MD1812 has separate power connections enabling the output signal L and H levels to be chosen independently from the driver supply voltages. As an example, the input logic...
