MD1712 - Supertex

MD1712 Integrated Ultrasound Driver IC

The Supertex MD1712 is a two-channel, five-level, high voltage and high speed transmitter driver IC. It is designed for medical ultrasound imaging applications, but can also be used for metal flaw detection, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), and for driving piezoelectric transducers. The MD1712 is a two-channel logic controller circuit with low impedance MO.
