General Description
The MD1822DB1 is a demoboard for the three level ±100V
2.5A pulser chip-set of the MD1822 MOSFET driver and the
TC7920 MOSFET. The demoboard consists of one MD1822
in the 3x3mm 16-lead QFN package driving the TC7920
which has two pairs of high speed and high voltage compli-
mentary P- and N-MOSFETs in in one 4x4mm, 8-lead DFN
package. This circuit is an ideal, cost-optimized, high voltage
and high current RTZ ultrasound transmit pulser.
The CPLD-programmable logic circuit (40 MHz crystal os-
cillator) generates accurately timed high-speed waveforms
on a separate CPL board. Multiple frequency and waveform
combinations can be selected as bipolar pulse waveforms.
An external clock input can be used if the on-board oscil-
lator is disabled. The external trigger input can be used to
synchronize the output waveforms. There are ve push
buttons for selecting demonstration waveform, frequency,
phase, and mode functions. Color LEDs indicate the demo
selection states. Jumpers on the board can select either the
330pF/2.5k on-board load, or user test loads.
