General Description
The Supertex HV746 is a dual-channel monolithic high voltage
high-speed pulse generator. It is designed for portable medical
ultrasound applications. This high voltage and high-speed
integrated circuit can also be used for other piezoelectric,
capacitive or MEMS sensor in ultrasonic nondestructive
detection and sonar ranger applications.
The HV746 consists of controller logic interface circuit, level
translators, MOSFET gate drives and high current power P-
channel and N-channel MOSFETs as the output stage for
each channel. A 2-bit mode control is provided that allows the
maximum output current to be reduced for power saving.
The output stages of each channel are designed to provide
peak output currents over ±3.6A for pulsing, when in mode
4, with up to ±75V swings. When in mode 1, all the output
stages drop the peak current to ±800mA for low-voltage CW
mode operation to save power consumption of the IC. The P
and N type of power FETs gate drivers are supplied by two
floating 9.0VDC power supplies reference to V
PP
and V
NN
. This
direct coupling topology of the gate drivers not only saves two
high voltage capacitors per channel, but also makes the PCB
layout easier.

Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device may
occur. Functional operation under these conditions is not implied. Continuous operation
of the device at the absolute rating level may affect device reliability. All voltages are
referenced to device ground.
