DESCRIPTION

The PA07 is a high voltage, high output current operational

amplifier designed to drive resistive, inductive and capacitive

loads. For optimum linearity, especially at low levels, the

output stage is biased for class A/B operation using a ther-

mistor compensated base-emitter voltage multiplier circuit. A

thermal shutoff circuit protects against overheating and mini-

mizes heatsink requirements for abnormal operating condi-

tions. The safe operating area (SOA) can be observed for all

operating conditions by selection of user programmable cur-

rent limiting resistors. Both amplifiers are internally compen-

sated for all gain settings. For continuous operation under

load, a heatsink of proper rating is recommended.

This hybrid circuit utilizes thick film (cermet) resistors, ce-

ramic capacitors and semiconductor chips to maximize reli-

ability, minimize size and give top performance. Ultrasonically

bonded aluminum wires provide reliable interconnections at all

operating temperatures. The 8-pin TO-3 package is hermeti-

cally sealed and electrically isolated. The use of compressible

washers and/or improper mounting torque will void the product

warranty. Please see “General Operating Considerations”.

TYPICAL APPLICATION

Position is sensed by the differentially connected photo

diodes, a method that negates the time and temperature

variations of the optical components. Off center positions

produce an error current which is integrated by the op amp

circuit, driving the system back to center position. A momen-

tary switch contact forces the system out of lock and then the

integrating capacitor holds drive level while both diodes are in

a dark state. When the next index point arrives, the lead

network of C1 and R1 optimize system response by reducing

overshoot. The very low bias current of the PA07 augments

performance of the integrator circuit.

NOTES: * The specification of PA07A is identical to the specification for PA07 in applicable column to the left.

1. Long term operation at the maximum junction temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate internal power dissipation

to achieve high MTTF.

2. The power supply voltage for all specifications is the TYP rating unless otherwise noted as a test condition.

3. Doubles for every 10°C of temperature increase.

4. +VS and –VS denote the positive and negative supply rail respectively. Total VS is measured from +VS to –VS.

5. Rating applies if the output current alternates between both output transistors at a rate faster than 60Hz.

OPERATING

CONSIDERATIONS

GENERAL

Please read Application Note 1 "General Operating Consid-

erations" which covers stability, supplies, heat sinking, mount-

ing, current limit, SOA interpretation, and specification inter-

pretation. Visit www.apexmicrotech.com for design tools that

help automate tasks such as calculations for stability, internal

power dissipation, current limit; heat sink selection; Apex’s

complete Application Notes library; Technical Seminar Work-

book; and Evaluation Kits.

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)

The output stage of most power amplifiers has three distinct

limitations:

1. The current handling capability of the wire bonds.

2. The second breakdown effect which occurs whenever the

simultaneous collector current and collector-emitter volt-

age exceed specified limits.

3. The junction temperature of the output transistors.

SAFE OPERATING AREA CURVES

The SOA curves combine the effect of these limits. For a

given application, the direction and magnitude of the output

current should be calculated or measured and checked against

the SOA curves. This is simple for resistive loads but more

complex for reactive and EMF generating loads. However, the

following guidelines may save extensive analytical efforts.

1. For DC outputs, especially those resulting from fault condi-

tions, check worst case stress levels against the new SOA

graph.

For sine wave outputs, use Power Design1 to plot a load

line. Make sure the load line does not cross the 0.5ms limit

and that excursions beyond any other second breakdown

line do not exceed the time label, and have a duty cycle of

no more than 10%.

For other waveform outputs, manual load line plotting is

recommended. Applications Note 22, SOA AND LOAD

LINES, will be helpful. A Spice type analysis can be very

useful in that a hardware setup often calls for instruments or

amplifiers with wide common mode rejection ranges.

2. The amplifier can handle any reactive or EMF generating

load and short circuits to the supply rail or common if the

current limits are set as follows at TC = 85°C:

SHORT TO ±VSSHORT TO

±VSC, L, OR EMF LOAD COMMON

50V .21A .61A

40V .3A .87A

30V .46A 1.4A

20V .87A 2.5A

15V 1.4A 4.0A

These simplified limits may be exceeded with further analysis

using the operating conditions for a specific application.

3. The output stage is protected against transient flyback.

However, for protection against sustained, high energy

flyback, external fast-recovery diodes should be used.

THERMAL SHUTDOWN PROTECTION

The thermal protection circuit shuts off the amplifier when

the substrate temperature exceeds approximately 150°C. This

allows heatsink selection to be based on normal operating

conditions while protecting the amplifier against excessive

junction temperature during temporary fault conditions.

Thermal protection is a fairly slow-acting circuit and there-

fore does not protect the amplifier against transient SOA

violations (areas outside of the TC = 25°C boundary). It is

designed to protect against short-term fault conditions that

result in high power dissipation within the amplifier. If the

conditions that cause thermal shutdown are not removed, the

amplifier will oscillate in and out of shutdown. This will result in

high peak power stresses, will destroy signal integrity and

reduce the reliability of the device.

CURRENT LIMIT

Proper operation requires the use of two current limit resis-

tors, connected as shown in the external connections diagram.

The minimum value for RCL is .12Ω, however, for optimum

reliability it should be set as high as possible. Refer to the

“General Operating Considerations” section of the handbook

for current limit adjust details.
