This brief presents a high-voltage (HV) transducer driver to fulfill the requirement of the proposed high-data-rate down-hole acoustic telemetry system. The driver is targeted to drive a stack of piezoelectric disks modeled as a capacitive load of 0.3 μF and across a broadband from 600 Hz to 1.2 kHz...
