General Description
The Supertex HV256 is a 32-channel, high voltage, amplifier
array integrated circuit. It operates on a single high voltage
supply, up to 300V, and two low voltage supplies, V
DD
and V
NN
.
The input voltage range is from 0 to 4.096V. The internal closed
loop gain is 72V/V, giving an output voltage of 295V when
4.096V is applied. Input voltages of up to 5.0V can be applied,
but will cause the output to saturate. The maximum output
voltage swing is 5.0V below the V
PP
high voltage supply. The
outputs can drive capacitive loads of up to 3000pF.
The maximum output source and sink current can be adjusted
by using two external resistors. An external R
SOURCE
resistor
controls the maximum sourcing current and an external R
SINK
resistor controls the maximum sinking current. The current
limit is approximately 12.5V divided by the external resistor
value. The setting is common for all 32 outputs. A low voltage
silicon junction diode is made available to help monitor the die
temperature.

Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the
device may occur. Functional operation under these conditions is not implied.
Continuous operation of the device at the absolute rating level may affect
device reliability. All voltages are referenced to device ground.

Power Up/Down Issues
External Diode Protection
The device can be damaged due to improper power up / down
sequence. To prevent damage, please follow the acceptable power
up / down sequences, and add two external diodes as shown in
the diagram on the right. The first diode is a high voltage diode
across VPP and VDD, where the anode of the diode is connected
to VDD and the cathode of the diode is connected to VPP. Any low
current, high voltage diode, such as a 1N4004, will be adequate.
The second diode is a Schottky diode across VNN and DGND,
where the anode of the Schottky diode is connected to VNN, and
the cathode is connected to DGND. Any low current Schottky diode
such as a 1N5817 will be adequate.

Acceptable Power Up Sequences
The HV256 can be powered up with any of the following sequences
listed below.
1) VPP 2) VNN 3) VDD 4) Inputs and Anode
1) VNN 2) VDD 3) VPP 4) Inputs and Anode
1) VDD & VNN 2) Inputs 3) VPP 4) Anode
The HV256 needs all power supplies to be fully up and all channels
refreshed with V
SIG
= 0V to force all high voltage outputs to 0V.
Before that time, the high voltage outputs may have temporary
voltage excursions above or below GND level depending on
selected power up sequence. To minimize the excursions:
1. The VDD and VNN power supplies should be applied at the
same time (or within a few nanoseconds).
Suggested VPP ramp up speed should be 10msec or longer and
ramp down to be 1msec or longer.
Suggested Power Up/Down Sequence
Acceptable Power Down Sequences
The HV256 can be powered down with any of the following
sequences listed below.
1) Inputs and Anode 2) VDD 3) VNN 4) VPP
