DESCRIPTION
The PA02 and PA02A are wide-band, high output current operational amplifiers designed to drive resistive, inductive and capacitive loads. Their complementary “collector output” stage can swing close to the supply rails and is protected against inductive kickback. 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 (down to 10mA). Both amplifiers are internally compensated but are
not recommended for use as unity gain followers. For continuous operation under load, mounting on a heatsink of proper rating is recommended.
These hybrid integrated circuits utilize 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. Isolation washers are not recommended. The use of compressible thermal
washers and/or improper mounting torque will void the product warranty. Please see Application Note 1
“General Operating Considerations.”

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
The SOA curves combine the effect of all limits for this Power Op Amp. 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. The following guidelines may save extensive analytical efforts:
1. Under transient conditions, capacitive and dynamic* loads up to the following maximums are safe:
CAPACITIVE LOAD
INDUCTIVE LOAD
±VS
ICL = 5A
ICL = 2A
ICL = 5A
ICL = 2A
18V
2 mF
0.7 mF
0.2 H
10 mH
15V
10 mF
2.2 mF
0.7 H
25 mH
10V
25 mF
10 mF
5H
50 mH
* If the inductive load is driven near steady state conditions, allowing the output voltage to drop
more than 8V below the supply rail with ICL = 5A, or 17V below the supply rail with ICL = 2A while
the amplifier is current limiting, the inductor should be capacitively coupled or the current limit must
be lowered to meet SOA criteria.
2. The amplifier can handle any EMF generating or reactive load and short circuits to the supply rails or
shorts to common if the current limits are set as follows at TC = 85°C.

18V

These simplified limits may be exceeded with further analysis using the operating conditions for a

GENERAL

Evaluation Kits.
TYPICAL APPLICATION
LOW INTERNAL LOSS MAXIMIZES EFFICIENCY
When system voltages are low and power is at a premium, the PA02 is a natural choice. The circuit below
utilizes not only the feature of low internal loss of the PA02, but also its very low distortion level to implement a crystal clear audio amplifier suitable even for airborne applications. This circuit uses AC coupling of
both the input signal and the gain circuit to render DC voltage across the speaker insignificant. The resistor
and capacitor across the inputs form a stability enhancement network. The 0.27 Ω current limit resistors provide protection in the event of an output short circuit.
Figure 21: Typical Application (Vehicular Sound System Power Stage)

PA02U Rev U
PA02 • PA02A
CURRENT LIMIT
Proper operation requires the use of two current limit resistors, connected as shown in the external connection diagram. The minimum value for RCL is 0.12 Ω, however for optimum reliability it should be set as
high as possible.
0.65VR CL = ---------------I CL A
Where:
ICL is the current limit in Amperes.
RCL is the current limit resistor value in Ohms.
Refer to Application Note 1 “General Operating Considerations” section of the handbook for current limit
adjust details.
DEVICE MOUNTING
The case (mounting flange) is electrically isolated and should be mounted directly to a heatsink with thermal compound. Screws with Belville spring washers are recommended to maintain positive clamping pressure on heatsink mounting surfaces. Long periods of thermal cycling can loosen mounting screws and
increase thermal resistance.
Since the case is electrically isolated (floating) with respect to the internal circuits it is recommended to connect it to common or other convenient AC ground potential.
