PS: For LF(x2), a 6N137-L may be a better choise. But it needs a 5V supply. If you can get an IXXD614CI as a MOSFET driver, this will be a fine PA!

Hi Chris,

With the 2.2 V, drive an optocoupler! Like 4N28, CNY17/4 or similar. This can be done with 2.2 V (use a resistor of a few 10 Ohm, calculate it). It shifts the level to a 12V logic. The slightly distorted signal will look perfect after the divide by 2 stage and will have a perfect 50% duty cycle. Then drive a MOF-FET driver with this signal.
BTW for a class-D PA with opposite phase gate voltages i would generally receommend to use a gate transformer! It makes sure that there can never be a positive voltage on both gates to the same time, since vgs1 is always -vgs2, what ever transients are doing. Then you don't need to care about propagation delay, rise time and such stuff.

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.
