Supertex (NASDAQ: SUPX), a recognized leader in high voltage analog
and mixed signal integrated circuits (ICs), today introduced the
HV7350, an eight channel, monolithic, high-voltage, high-speed,
pulse generator IC with built-in fast return-to-zero (RTZ) damping
FETs designed for portable medical diagnostic ultrasound
applications. The IC brings together controller logic interface
circuitry, level translators, MOSFET gate drive buffers, and high
voltage and high current complementary P- and N-channel MOSFETs
output stage for each channel.
HV7350 features up to 20MHz operating frequency for wider
ultrasound probe selections. The output peak current of each
channel are guaranteed to be over +/-1.0A with up to +/-60V pulse
swings as well as return-to-zero (RTZ) mode, which is ideal for
battery powered, hand-held ultrasound scanner designs. An input
clock pin is available to realign all the logic inputs to a master
clock for more precise timing, which is essential in any good
quality ultrasound imaging system.
"As medical diagnostic ultrasound systems increase in both
portability and channel density, Supertex remains committed to
leveraging its expertise in high voltage CMOS technology to provide
ultrasound equipment manufacturers with the highest performing ICs
on the market," states Jimes Lei, Director of Application
Engineering of Supertex. "This versatile, high voltage, high
density, pulser IC excels not only in ultrasound applications, but
also in any piezoelectric, capacitive or MEMS sensing
applications."
The HV7350 is available in a lead(Pb)-free/RoHS compliant
56-lead QFN package (HV7350K6-G). Samples are available from stock.
Lead-time for production quantities is 4-6 weeks. Pricing is
US$16.33 each for the HV7350K6-G in 1K quantities.
