MD0105
General Description
The Supertex MD0105 is a high voltage current limiting protection
device. It is designed to protect a low noise receiver from the high
voltage transmit pulses in ultrasound applications and is commonly
referred to as a T/R (transmit and receive) switch.
The MD0105 can be considered as a normally closed switch with
a typical switch resistance of 15Ω, allowing small signals to pass.
Once the voltage drop across the two terminals exceeds a nominal
value of ±2.0V, the device will start to turn off. In the off state, the
MD0105 can withstand up to ±130V across its terminals. A small
amount of current, typically 200µA, is allowed to flow through.
The MD0105 is not limited to just ultrasound applications. It can
also be used for resettable fuses to protect power lines, output
short circuit protection, and data acquisition. The MD0105 is
available in an 18-Lead 5x5mm DFN package as a four-channel
device.

Functional Description
The Supertex MD0105 can be considered as a normally
closed switch controlled by a switch control (please refer to
the block diagram). The switch control monitors the voltage
drop across terminals A and B. If the voltage difference is
greater than ±2.0V, the T/R switch will start to open. Once
in the open state, there is a small amount of current flowing
through the T/R switch, 200µA, to detect if the high voltage
is still present or not.
The T/R switch will not close until the voltage across termi-
nal A and B drops below ±2.0V. A pair of back-to-back di-
odes from the receive side of the switch to ground is needed
to complete the circuit and to allow the initial peak current
(about 60mA) to flow through the switch so it can drop ±2.0V.
If the diodes are not present, then there is no current path
and the voltage drop across terminal A and B will be less
than ±2.0V, so the switch will remain in the closed position.
The MD0105 does not require any power supply. There are
only two active pins; one connects to the transmitter side,
one connects to the receiver side.
On Resistance
When the voltage across terminals A and B are below
±2.0V,
the switch is in the receive mode and the R
ON
is typically 15Ω.
Once the voltage across the terminals A and B is greater
than ±2.0V, the switch is in the transmit mode and blocking
the high voltage pulses from passing through to the receiver
and damaging it.

Switch Capacitance
T
ON
and T
OFF
Time
The typical switch On capacitance (C
SW(ON)
) is 21pF. This is
measured from A to B when the switch is ON. The switch
OFF capacitance is a function of the voltage across the T/R
switch. The C
SW(OFF)
is about 12 to 19 pF for 10V to 130V of
the transmit voltage.
The T
ON
and T
OFF
of the MD0105 are less than 20ns, which
provide a fast switch between the transmit mode and the re-
ceive mode. The T
ON
and T
OFF
are input rise/fall time depen-
dent. The T/R switch turns ON and OFF faster when the rise
and fall times of the transmit pulse are faster. On the other
hand, the switch turns ON and OFF slower if the rise and fall
times of the transmit pulse are slower.
