For optimum linearity, the output stage is biased for class A/B operation. The safe operating area (SOA) can be observed for all operating conditions by selection of user programmable current limiting resistors. Both amplifiers are internally compensated for all gain settings. For continuous operation under load, a heatsink of proper rating is recommended. This hybrid integrated circuit utilizes thick film (cermet) resistors, ceramic capacitors and semiconductor chips to maximize reliability, minimize size and give top performance. Ultrasonically bonded aluminum wires provide reliable interconnections at all operating temperatures. The 8-pin TO-3 package is hermetically sealed and electrically isolated. The use of compressible isolation washers voids the warranty. EQUIVALENT SCHEMATIC 3 CONTROL .82 -42V R1B R2B LOAD 0-24 FIGURE 1. VOLTAGE-TO-CURRENT CONVERSION DC and low distortion AC current waveforms are delivered to a grounded load by using matched resistors (A and B sections) and taking advantage of the high common mode rejection of the PA10. Foldover current limit is used to modify current limits based on output voltage. When load resistance drops to 0, the current is limited based on output voltage. When load resistance drops to 0, the current limit is 0.79A resulting in an internal dissipation of 33.3 W. When output voltage increases to 36V, the current limit is 1.69A. Refer to Application Note 9 on foldover limiting for details.

Long term operation at the maximum junction temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate internal power dissipation to achieve high MTTF. The power supply voltage for all tests is 40, unless otherwise noted as a test condition. +VS and -VS denote the positive and negative supply rail respectively. Total VS is measured from +VS to -VS. Rating applies if the output current alternates between both output transistors at a rate faster than 60Hz. Full temperature range specifications are guaranteed but not tested. The internal substrate contains beryllia (BeO). Do not break the seal. If accidentally broken, do not crush, machine, or subject to temperatures in excess of 850C to avoid generating toxic fumes.

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA) The output stage of most power amplifiers has three distinct limitations: 1. The current handling capability of the transistor geometry and the wire bonds. 2. The second breakdown effect which occurs whenever the simultaneous collector current and collector-emitter voltage exceeds specified limits. 3. The junction temperature of the output transistors.

Visit the Apex web site at www.apexmicrotech.com for a copy of the Power Design spreadsheet (Excel) which plots current limits vs. steady state SOA. Beware that current limit should be thought of as a +/-20% function initially and varies about 2:1 over the range of -55C to 125C. For fixed current limit, leave pin 7 open and use equations 1 and 2. RCL = 0.65/LCL ICL = 0.65/RCL (1) (2) Where: ICL is the current limit in amperes. RCL is the current limit resistor in ohms. For certain applications, foldover current limit adds a slope to the current limit which allows more power to be delivered to the load without violating the SOA. For maximum foldover slope, ground pin 7 and use equations 3 and 4. 0.65 + (Vo * 0.014) .4 ICL = .3 .2 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 50 60 70 80 100 SUPPLY TO OUTPUT DIFFERENTIAL VOLTAGE VS - VO (V) 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. 1. For DC outputs, especially those resulting from fault conditions, 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 EMF generating or reactive load and short circuits to the supply rail or shorts to common if the current limits are set as follows at TC = 85C: 1 VS RCL (3) 0.65 + (Vo * 0.014) RCL = (4) ICL Where: Vo is the output voltage in volts. Most designers start with either equation 1 to set RCL for the desired current at 0v out, or with equation 4 to set RCL at the maximum output voltage. Equation 3 should then be used to plot the resulting foldover limits on the SOA graph. If equation 3 results in a negative current limit, foldover slope must be reduced. This can happen when the output voltage is the opposite polarity of the supply conducting the current. In applications where a reduced foldover slope is desired, this can be achieved by adding a resistor (RFO) between pin 7 and ground. Use equations 4 and 5 with this new resistor in the circuit. ICL = 0.65 + Vo * 0.14 10.14 + RFO (5) RCL 0.65 + Vo * 0.14 10.14 + RFO RCL = (6) ICL Where: RFO is in K ohms. Note 1.
