Seems an odd choice of driver chip.  A high/low side driver used in a non-bootstrapped mode to drive two low-side FETs 

How about one of the normal FET driver chips - picking out one I've used in the past, the MCP14E 3/4/5 family.   Logic level input, spec. Logic '0' max 1.3V, Logic '1' min 2.4V.   So bias half way and your 2.2V swing takes it into the valid range.


They three types are inverting, non inverting, and one of each in a package

Hello  LF'ers, and a happy and healthy New Year to you all.

I use my U3S QRP Labs exciter to drive a PA on 137kHz, and it works
fine. Hans, the designer, made changes allowing a 180 degree out of
phase pair of signals to come from the Si5351A synthesizer chip with
the intention of this being able to drive a push pull Class D FET
driver chip directly without a X2 signal being divided and split by a
preceding IC, please see original and simplified circuits below. I
tried this but it appears the circa 2.2V outputs of the Si5351A chip
are not sufficient to drive the inputs of the IR2110 FET driver.

Any ideas please?     Thanks.
