High speed switch - PFC - Feb 10 12:15:00 2005

Dear forum,
In a current project I need to switch 25volt signal lines (approx 30mA) using port pins of the HC11 (TTL). The 25V signal needs to be switched at frequencies up to 1.5MHz square wave. I have used a MC33152 high speed h-bridge to switch these lines but the maximum voltage for these devices are 16V. Anyone know of a similar device or circuit which will allow switching of a square wave at 1.5MHz and 25V?
All assistance appreciated. PFC.

You should only need 1/2 bridge drivers, not a full H bridge.

See http://www.irf.com amoung others.

Well of course, the MC33152 as mentioned is specifically designed for
this very purpose, two lines per device, except of course, that it is
only rated for operation up to 18V. It's basically a dual high-power
Schmitt level-shifting non-inverting buffer.

Are not most H-bridges configured similarly?

Paul,
the second line of the description reads:

"These devices feature low input current making them CMOS/LSTTL logic
compatible, input hysteresis for fast output switching that is
independent of input transition time, and two high current totem pole
outputs ideally suited for driving power MOSFETs."

Wouldn't you merely need to find MOSFET transisters of sufficient
capacity to actually switch your higher voltage circuit?

Figure 20 in the PDF has an example...

hth,
Jim

Forum,
To ensure the signal lines rise to 25V and then fall to zero (or near zero)
I use one side of the full bridge per line. To use a Fet on each half I
would need to place two Fets on each data line. The circuit now grows and
grows. I was looking for something similar to the MC33152 with higher
supply voltage.

As you will note, I was not the original enquirer, who specifies that
these are for driving "signal lines", not a motor. Driving capacitive
transmission lines is not dissimilar to driving the capacitive gate of a
power MOSFET, so I think he had the device correctly picked, but for, as
he goes on to say, the voltage rating.

In an effort to be lateral, and also from sheer and utter curiosity,
I do have to ask what these "signal lines" might be and what is the
significance of 25V rather than 18?

Re: High speed switch - Gordon Couger - Feb 12 21:12:00 2005

A FET should work fine but a 68HC11 will not work at 1 1.5 MHz
output switching frequency vvery well even over clocked to 4 MHz
eclock 16 MHz Xtal frequency it takes 3 eclock cycles to get the
output compare interrupt set so things would be rater messy at
1.5 MHz. Unless you use some added stuff you will have a lot of
jitter and latency problems contorting over 1/4 of the eclock
frequency. even at that speed thing will not be very nice and
you won't have any room for much else.

Forum,
Answer to PaulB.
The application is connecting into an existing 485 comms channel.

Answer to Gorden Couger:
The frequency is 1M5Hz through a driver which cleans up the HC11 output.
