DESCRIPTION
The MP103 is a high voltage, high output current dual channel operational amplifier for driving capacitive
loads such as piezo devices use in ink jet printing applications. The MP103 utilizes proprietary IC’s combined
with discrete semiconductor and passive elements on a thermally conductive insulated metal substrate,
delivering very high power from a compact module. The amplifier gain is fixed at 65 V/V when the feedback
pin is connected to the VOUT pin. Internal compensation provides optimum slew rate and ensures stability.
The only external components required are the current limit resistors RLIM, a series isolation resistor RS
(when driving a capacitative load) and the power supply bypass capacitors.

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
The MOSFET output stage of the MP103 is not limited by second breakdown considerations as in bipolar
output stages. Only thermal considerations and current handling capabilities limit the SOA (see Safe Operating Area graph). The output stage is protected against transient flyback by the parasitic body diodes of the
output stage MOSFET structure. However, for protection against sustained high energy flyback, external fastrecovery diodes must be used.

GENERAL
Please read Application Note 1 “General Operating Considerations” which covers stability, supplies, heat
sinking, mounting, current limit, SOA interpretation, and specification interpretation. Visit www.apexanalog.com for Apex Microtechnology’s complete Application Notes library, Technical Seminar Workbook, and
Evaluation Kits.
AMPLIFIER GAIN
When the feedback pin for each channel is connected to the corresponding OUT pin, the gain of the
amplifier is internally set to 65 V/V. The amplifier gain can be increased by connecting a resistor between the
feedback and Out pin. The amplifier gain will be increased approximately 1 V/V for each additional 49.9 Ω
added between the feedback and OUT pin.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
Bypass capacitors to power supply terminals +VS and -VS must be connected physically close to the pins
to prevent local parasitic oscillation in the output stage of the MP103. Use electrolytic capacitors at least
10μF per output amp required. Bypass the electrolytic capacitors with high quality ceramic capacitors (X7R)
0.1μF or greater. Duplicate the supply bypass for the supply terminals of each amplifier channel. A bypass
capacitor of 0.1μF or greater is recommended for the +VAUX terminal.
CURRENT LIMIT
For proper operation, the current limit resistor (RLIM) must be connected as shown in the external connection diagram. For optimum reliability the resistor value should be set as high as possible. The value is calculated as follows; with the maximum practical value of 30 Ω. The current limit function can be disabled by
shorting the IL pin to the OUT pin.
0.7V
R LIM = ----------I LIM
POWER SUPPLY PROTECTION
Unidirectional zener diode transient suppressors are recommended as protection on the supply pins. The
zeners clamp transients to voltages within the power supply rating and also clamp power supply reversals to
ground. Whether the zeners are used or not, the system power supply should be evaluated for transient performance including power-on overshoot and power-off polarity reversal as well as line regulation. Conditions
which can cause open circuits or polarity reversals on either power supply rail should be avoided or protected
against. Reversals or opens on the negative supply rail is known to induce input stage failure. Unidirectional
transzorbs prevent this, and it is desirable that they be both electrically and physically as close to the amplifier as possible.
SERIES ISOLATION RESISTOR, RS
To insure stability with all capacitive loads a series isolation resistor should be included between the output and the load as shown in the external connections drawing. A 1 Ω resistor works well for capacitive loads
between 135pF and 44nF. The resistor will affect the rise and fall time of the output pulse at the capacitive
load. This can be compensated for on the input signal.

BACKPLATE GROUNDING
The substrate of the MP103 is an insulated metal substrate. It is required that it be connected to signal
ground. This is accomplished when the ground pin (Pin 32) is properly connected to signal ground.
