The EL7155 high performance pin driver with 3-state is suited

to many ATE and level-shifting applications. The 3.5A peak

drive capability makes this part an excellent choice when

driving high capacitance loads.

Output pins OUTH and OUTL are connected to input pins VH and

VL respectively, depending on the status of the IN pin. One of

the output pins is always in tri-state, except when the OE pin is

low, in which case both outputs are in tri-state mode. The

isolation of the output FETs from the power supplies enables

VH and VL to be set independently, enabling level-shifting to be

implemented.

This pin driver has improved performance over existing pin

drivers. It is specifically designed to operate at voltages down

to 0V across the switch elements while maintaining good

speed and ON-resistance characteristics.

Available in an 8 Ld SOIC package, the EL7155 is specified for

operation over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
