32-Channel HV610 Delivers Output Versatility in High Speed Printer & LCD Driver Applications

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 28, 2007 - Supertex, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUPX), a recognized leader in high voltage analog and mixed signal integrated circuits (ICs), today introduced the HV610, a 32-channel, serial-to-parallel converter with high voltage, push-pull outputs. The IC is well suited for driving high-speed printers and LCD displays.

The HV610's outputs can be individually controlled, set to high or low, or set to a high-Z state, providing useful versatility in applications requiring fast shift register and data shifting speeds. The IC features four data shift registers, directional data loading control, operating output of +50/-40 volts, and CMOS/TTL compatible inputs.

"The HV610's output current capability allows for fast switching of high voltage waveforms with large capacitive loads, as required in applications such as high-speed printers and LCD displays," states Ahmed Masood, Vice President of Marketing for Supertex. "This versatile IC is compatible with both CMOS and TTL logic controls, and its outputs can be configured to drive both positive and negative voltage waveforms."

The HV610 is available in a 64-lead TQFP (HV610FG-G) package. The part is "Green" and RoHS-compliant. Samples are available from stock. Lead-time for production quantities is 4-6 weeks ARO. Pricing for the HV610 is US$10.80 for the HV610FG-G in 1K quantities.
