Dual/Quad, Unipolar/Bipolar,
High-Voltage Digital Pulsers
MAX4940/MAX4940A
General Description
The MAX4940/MAX4940A integrated circuits generate
high-voltage, high-frequency, unipolar or bipolar pulses
from low-voltage logic inputs. These quad/dual pulsers
feature independent logic inputs, independent high-volt-
age pulser outputs with active clamps and independent
high-voltage supply inputs.
The MAX4940/MAX4940A feature quad, high-voltage puls-
ers with 8.5I output impedance for the high-voltage
outputs and a 21I impedance for the active clamp. The
high-voltage outputs can provide 2.0A (typ) output current.
All devices use two logic inputs per channel to con-
trol the positive and negative pulses. The MAX4940/
MAX4940A have a dedicated input to control the active
clamp. All devices feature an independent enable input
EN. All digital inputs are CMOS compatible (see the
Ordering Information/Selector Guide).
The MAX4940/MAX4940A are available in a 56-pin, 8mm x
8mm, TQFN exposed pad package and are specified over
the 0NC to +70NC commercial temperature range.
Warning: Exercise caution. The MAX4940/MAX4940A are
designed to operate with high voltages.
