Hi everyone,
So I'm trying to drive an h-bridge at a fairly high speed 2.4mhz. I want to use it to switch a piezo element at 24v.
To get the timing right I set up an LTC6902. It gives me 4 outputs with 2phases so I thought I could use it to drive the gates on an n-mos H-bridge.
I laid it out, got the parts, and when I first powered it up things seemed good. I didnt hook up the piezo I just put scope probes on it to try and set the output frequency.
I started with low voltages about 6v and I thought the square waves looked good. I had identical waves at 2.4mhz but the output voltage was lower than 6v it was only 2 or 4 volts. So I turned it up to 12v and the output went to about 8. So I ramped it up again to about 18 volts. Around there the waveform changed I started getting nothing but noise on my probes and things were getting pretty hot. I showed a couple hundred mA on my benchtop supply. I turned it all off let it sit then ramped it back up to 5v Now the first channel is overshooting and oscillating quite badly. The second channel seems fine. But I also noticed that now the wave forms seem to be overlapping rather than out of phase. I honestly cant remember if they were out of phase in the beginning now. I want to say they were but maybe I was just dumping power and thats what blew my bridge?
I was hoping someone could look over my design and sanity check it for me. I feel like it should be ok, but maybe I've made a stupid mistake and I'm not seeing it.
I'll attach my schematic, my board layout, and my latest scope reading (powered at 6v).
Thanks
