DESCRIPTION
The PA04 is a high voltage MOSFET power operational amplifier that extends the performance limits of
power amplifiers in slew rate and power bandwidth, while maintaining high current and power dissipation
ratings.
The PA04 is a highly flexible amplifier. The sleep mode feature allows ultra-low quiescent current for
standby operation or load protection by disabling the entire amplifier. Boost voltage inputs allow the small
signal portion of the amplifier to operate at a higher voltage than the high current output stage. The amplifier
is then biased to achieve close linear swings to the supply rails at high currents for extra efficient operation.
External compensation tailors performance to user needs. A four wire sense technique allows precision current limiting without the need to consider internal or external mΩ parasitic resistance in the output line.
The JEDEC MO-127 12-pin Power Dip™ package (see Package Outlines) is hermetically sealed and isolated
from the internal circuits. The use of compressible thermal washers will void product warranty.

The PA04 is constructed from MOSFET transistors. ESD handling procedures must be observed.
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 850°C to avoid generating toxic
fumes.

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
The MOSFET output stage of this power operational amplifier has two distinct limitations:
1. The current handling capability of the MOSFET geometry and the wire bonds.
2. The junction temperature of the output MOSFETs.
Note: The output stage is protected against transient flyback. However, for protection against sustained,
high energy flyback, external fast-recovery diodes should be used.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
Figure 17: Typical Application (Sonar Transducer Driver)
The high power bandwidth and high voltage output of the PA04 allows driving sonar transducers via a
resonant circuit including the transducer and a matching transformer. The load circuit appears resistive to the
PA04. Control logic turns off the amplifier in sleep mode.

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 11 must be connected to the amplifier output side and pin 10 connected to the load side of the current limit resistor, RCL, as shown in Figure 18. 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 18.
The value of the current limit resistor can be calculated as follows:
0.76VR CL = ---------------I CL A

PA04U Rev P
PA04 • PA04A
SLEEP MODE OPERATION
To activate sleep mode, connect pin 12 (sleep) to pin 9 (+VB). This disables the amplifier’s internal reference and the amplifier shuts down except for a trickle current of 3 mA which flows into pin 12. Pin 12 should
be left open if the sleep mode is not required.
Several possible circuits can be built to take advantage of this mode. In Figure 19a a small signal relay is
driven by a logic gate. This removes the requirement to deal with the common mode voltage that exists on
the shutoff circuitry since the sleep mode is referenced to the +VB voltage.
In Figure 19b, circuitry is used to level translate the sleep mode input signal. The differential input activates sleep mode with a differential logic level signal and allows common mode voltages to ±VB.
Figure 19: Sleep Mode Current
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. +VB (pin 9) and –VB (pin 5) are connected to the small signal circuitry of the amplifier. +VS (pin 8) and –VS (pin 6) are connected to the high current output stage. An additional 5V 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
swings 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 VB pins must not be at a voltage lower than the VS pins.
COMPENSATION
The external compensation components CC and RC are connected to pins 3 and 4. Unity gain stability can
be achieved at any compensation capacitance greater than 330 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. Use the typical operating curves as a
guide to select CC and RC for the application.
