DESCRIPTION
The MP38 is a cost-effective high voltage MOSFET power operational amplifier constructed with surface
mount components on a thermally conductive but electrically isolated substrate.
While the cost is low, the MP38 offers many of the same features and performance specifications found
in much more expensive hybrid power amplifiers.
The metal substrate allows the MP38 to dissipate power up to 125W and its power supply voltages can
range up to ±100V (200V total). Optional boost voltage inputs allow the small signal portion of the amplifier
to operate at higher supply voltages than the high current output stage. The amplifier is then biased to
achieve close linear swings to the supply rails at high current for extra efficient operation. External compensation tailors performance to the user needs. A four-wire sense technique allows current limiting without the
need to consider internal or external mili-ohm parasitic resistance in the output line. An Iq pin is available
which can be used to shut off the quiescent current in the output stage. The output stage then operates class
C and lowers quiescent power dissipation. This is useful in applications where output crossover distortion is
not important.
