DESCRIPTION
The PA08 is a high voltage operational amplifier designed for output voltage swings of up to ±145V with
a dual (±) supply or 290V with a single supply. High accuracy is achieved with a cascode input circuit configuration. All internal biasing is referenced to a zener diode fed by a FET constant current source. As a result, the
PA08 features an unprecedented supply range and excellent supply rejection. The output stage is biased-on
for linear operation. Internal phase compensation assures stability at all gain settings. The safe operating area
(SOA) can be observed with all types of loads by choosing the appropriate current limiting resistors. For operation into inductive loads, two external flyback pulse protection diodes are recommended. A heatsink may be
necessary to maintain the proper case temperature under normal operating conditions.
This hybrid integrated circuit utilizes beryllia (BeO) substrate, thick film 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. The use of compressible thermal isolation washers and/or
improper mounting torque will void the product warranty. Please see Application Note 1, “General Operating
Considerations.”

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
The output stage of most power amplifiers has two distinct limitations:
1. The current handling capability of the transistor geometry and the wire bonds.
2. The second breakdown effect which occurs whenever the simultaneous collector current and collectoremitter voltage exceeds specified limits.
The SOA curves combine the effect of these limits. 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. However, the guidelines on the next
page may save extensive analytical efforts.

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.
TYPICAL APPLICATION
Figure 17: Typical Application (ATE Pin Driver)
The PA08 as a pin driver is capable of supplying high test voltages to a device under test (DUT). Due to the
possibility of short circuits to any terminal of the DUT, current limit must be set to be safe when limiting with
a supply to output voltage differential equal to the amplifier supply plus the largest magnitude voltage
applied to any other pin of the DUT. In addition, flyback diodes are recommended when the output of the
amplifier exits any equipment enclosure to prevent damage due to electrostatic discharges. Refer to Application Note 7 for details on accuracy considerations of this circuit.
INDUCTIVE LOADS
Two external diodes as shown in Figure 18, are required to protect these amplifiers from flyback (kickback) pulses exceeding the supply voltages of the amplifier when driving inductive loads. For component
selection, these external diodes must be very quick, such as ultra fast recovery diodes with no more than 200
nanoseconds of reverse recovery time. The diode will turn on to divert the flyback energy into the supply rails
thus protecting the output transistors from destruction due to reverse bias.
A note of caution about the supply. The energy of the flyback pulse must be absorbed by the power supply. As a result, a transient will be superimposed on the supply voltage, the magnitude of the transient being
a function of its transient impedance and current sinking capability. If the supply voltage plus transient
exceeds the maximum supply rating or if the AC impedance of the supply is unknown, it is best to clamp the
output and the supply with a zener diode to absorb the transient.

PA08U Rev Q
PA08 • PA08A
INPUT PROTECTION
The input is protected against common mode voltages up to the supply rails and differential voltages up
to ±50V. Increased protection against differential input voltages can be obtained by adding 2 resistors, 2
capacitors and 4 diode connected FETs as shown in Figure 19.
Figure 18: Protection, Inductive Load
Figure 19: Protection, Overvoltage
CURRENT LIMITING
Proper operation requires the use of two current limit resistors, connected as shown in the typical connection diagram. The minimum value for RCL is 3.24 Ω. However, for optimum reliability it should be set as
high as possible. Refer to Application Note 1 and 9 for current limit adjust details.
BALANCE CONTROL (OFFSET NULL)
The input biasing of PA08 can be adjusted externally to provide better input offset voltage (VOS) characteristics on a part-to-part basis. Use the equations in the Typical Connection Diagram (figure 2) to determine values for RT(trim-pot) and RS(static resistor). RS will have a value many times that of RT, meaning RS will

experience almost the entire supply voltage. Rate for proper power dissipation. Adjust the wiper on RT until
input offset voltage is reduced to a minimum.
If offset nulling is not required for the application, pin 7 should be left open. Omit RS and RT.
