The EL7202, EL7212, EL7222 ICs are matched dual-drivers that improve the operation of the industry standard DS0026 clock drivers. The Elantec versions are very high speed drivers capable of delivering peak currents of 2.0 amps into highly capacitive loads. The high speed performance is achieved by means of a proprietary “Turbo-Driver” circuit that speeds up input stages by tapping the wider voltage swing at the output. Improved speed and drive capability are enhanced by matched rise and fall delay times. These matched delays maintain the integrity of input-to-output pulse-widths to reduce timing errors and clock skew problems. This improved performance is accompanied by a 10 fold reduction in supply currents over bipolar drivers, yet without the delay time problems commonly associated with CMOS devices. Dynamic switching losses are minimized with non-overlapped drive techniques.
The EL7202, EL7212, and EL7222 are matched dual‑channel power MOSFET driver ICs designed to replace industry‑standard clock drivers. They feature a proprietary Turbo‑Driver circuit that delivers up to 2.0 A peak output current into highly capacitive loads while reducing supply current and clock skew.
Key features include low output impedance, low input capacitance, high noise immunity, wide operating voltage range, and RoHS‑compliant Pb‑free options. Typical applications are clock/line drivers, CCD drivers, ultrasound transducer drivers, switch‑mode power supplies, Class‑D amplifiers, and pulsed circuits.
