DESCRIPTION
The MP39 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 MP39 offers many of the same features and performance specifications found in
much more expensive hybrid power amplifiers.
The metal substrate allows the MP39 to dissipate power up to 125 watts and its power supply voltages
can range up to +/- 50 Volts (100V 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.

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.
CURRENT LIMIT
The two current limit sense lines are to be connected directly across the current limit sense resistor. For
the current limit to work correctly pin 24 must be connected to the amplifier output side and pin 23 connected to the load side of the current limit resistor, RLIM, as shown in Figure 11. This connection will bypass
any parasitic resistances, Rp, formed by sockets and solder joints as well as internal amplifier losses. The current limiting resistor may not be placed anywhere in the output circuit except where shown in Figure 11.
The value of the current limit resistor can be calculated as follows:
0.7V
R LIM = -----------------------I LIMIT A
Figure 11: Current Limit
TYPICAL APPLICATION
Ref: Application Note 25
The high power bandwidth and high voltage output of the MP39 allows driving ultra-sonic transducers via
a resonant circuit including the transducer and a matching transformer. The load circuit appears resistive to
the MP39.

Figure 12: Typical Application
BOOST OPERATION
With the VB feature the small signal stages of the amplifier are operated at higher supply voltages than
the amplifier's high current output stage. +VS (pins 12-14) and –VS (pins 18-20) are connected to the high current output stage. An additional 10V on the VB pins is sufficient to allow the small signal stages to drive the
output transistors into saturation and improve the output voltage swing for extra efficient operation when
required. When close swing to the supply rails is not required the +VB and +VS pins must be strapped together
as well as the –VB and –VS pins. The boost voltage pins must not be at a voltage lower than the VS pins.
BYPASSING
Proper bypassing of the power supply pins is crucial for proper operation. Bypass the ±Vs pins with a aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a value of at least 10µF per amp of expected output current. In addition a
0.47µF to 1µF ceramic capacitor should be placed in parallel with each aluminum electrolytic capacitor. Both
of these capacitors have to be placed as close to the power supply pins as physically possible. If not connected to the Vs pins (See BOOST OPERATION) the VB pins should also be bypassed with a .47µF to 1µF
ceramic capacitor.
USING THE IQ PIN FUNCTION
Pin 25 (Iq) can be tied to pin 6 (Cc) to eliminate the class AB biasing current from the output stage. Typically this would remove 1-4 mA of quiescent current. The resulting decrease in quiescent power dissipation
may be important in some applications. Note that implementing this option will raise the output impedance
of the amplifier and increase crossover distortion as well.

COMPENSATION
The external compensation components CC and RC are connected to pins 4 and 6. Unity gain stability can
be achieved at any compensation capacitance greater than 470 pF with at least 60 degrees of phase margin.
At higher gains more phase shift can be tolerated in most designs and the compensation capacitance can
accordingly be reduced, resulting in higher bandwidth and slew rate.
