DESCRIPTION
The PA119 is a high voltage, high current operational amplifier optimized to drive a variety of loads from
DC through the video frequency range. Excellent input accuracy is achieved with a dual monolithic FET input
transistor which is cascaded by two high voltage transistors to provide outstanding common mode characteristics. All internal current and voltage levels are referenced to a zener diode biased on by a current source. As
a result, the PA119 exhibits superior DC and AC stability over a wide supply and temperature range.
High speed and freedom from second breakdown is assured by a complementary power MOS output
stage. For optimum linearity, especially at low levels, the power MOS transistors are biased in a class A/B
mode. Thermal shutoff provides full protection against overheating and limits the heatsink requirements to
dissipate the internal power losses under normal operating conditions. A built-in current limit of 0.5A can be
increased with the addition of two external resistors. Transient inductive load kickback protection is provided
by two internal clamping diodes. External phase compensation allows the user maximum flexibility in obtaining the optimum slew rate and gain bandwidth product at all gain settings. A heatsink of proper rating is recommended.
This hybrid circuit utilizes thick film (cermet) resistors, ceramic capacitors, and silicon 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 washers and/or improper mounting torque
will void the product warranty. Please see Application Note 1 “General Operating Considerations.”

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.

The SOA curves combine the effect of these limits and allow for internal thermal delays. 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. Capacitive and inductive loads up to the following maximums are safe:

2. Safe short circuit combinations of voltage and current are limited to a power level of 100W.
3. 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
This fast power driver utilizes the 900V/µs slew rate of the PA119 and provides a unique interface with a
current output DAC. By using the DAC’s internal 1 kΩ feedback resistor, temperature drift errors are minimized, since the temperature drift coefficients of the internal current source and the internal feedback resistor of the DAC are closely matched. Gain of VOUT to IIN is –6.5/ mA. The DAC’s internal 1k resistor together
with the external 500 Ω and 110 Ω form a “tee network” in the feedback path around the PA119. This effective resistance equals 6.5 kΩ. Therefore the entire circuit can be modeled as 6.5 kΩ feedback resistor from
output to inverting input and a 5mA current source into the inverting input of the PA119. Now we see the
familiar current to voltage conversion for a DAC where VOUT = –IIN x RFEEDBACK

CURRENT LIMIT
Q2 (and Q25) limit output current by turning on and removing gate drive when voltage on pin 2 (pin 7)
exceeds 0.65V differential from the positive (negative) supply rail. With internal resistors equal to 1.2 Ω, current limits are approximately 0.5A with no external current limit resistors. With the addition of external resistors current limit will be:
To determine values of external current limit resistors:
0.65V

R CL = ------------------------------------I CL A – 0.54A

PHASE COMPENSATION
At low gain settings, an external compensation capacitor is required to insure stability. In addition to the
resistive feedback network, roll off or integrating capacitors must also be considered when determining gain
settings. The capacitance values listed in the external connection diagram, along with good high frequency
layout practice, will insure stability. Interpolate values for intermediate gain settings.
SUPPLY CURRENT
The PA119 features a class A/B driver stage to charge and discharge gate capacitance of Q7 and Q19. As
these currents approach 0.5A, the savings of quiescent current over that of a class A driver stage is considerable. However, supply current drawn by the PA119, even with no load, varies with slew rate of the output signal as shown below.

OUTPUT LEADS
Keep the output leads as short as possible. In the video frequency range, even a few inches of wire have
significant inductances, raising the interconnection impedance and limiting the output current slew rate. Furthermore, the skin effect increases the resistance of heavy wires at high frequencies. Multistrand Litz Wire is
recommended to carry large video currents with low losses.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The thermal protection circuit shuts off the amplifier when the substrate temperature exceeds approximately 150°C. This allows the heatsink selection to be based on normal operating conditions while protecting
the amplifier against excessive junction temperature during temporary fault conditions.
Thermal protection is a fairly slow-acting circuit and therefore does not protect the amplifier against
transient SOA violations (areas outside of the steady state boundary). It is designed to protect against shortterm fault conditions that result in high power dissipation within the amplifier. If the conditions that cause
thermal shutdown are not removed, the amplifier will oscillate in and out of shutdown. This will result in high
peak power stresses, destroy signal integrity, and reduce the reliability of the device.
PA119U Rev J
13
PA119CE • PA119CEA
STABILITY
Due to its large bandwidth, the PA119 is more likely to oscillate than lower bandwidth power operational
amplifiers. To prevent oscillations a reasonable phase margin must be maintained by:
1. Selection of the proper phase compensation capacitor. Use the values given in the table under external
connections and interpolate if necessary. The phase margin can be increased by using a larger capacitor at
the expense of slew rate. Total physical length (pins of the PA119, capacitor leads plus printed circuit
traces) should be limited to a maximum of 3.5 inches.
2. Keep the external sumpoint stray capacitance to ground at a minimum and the sumpoint load resistance
(input and feedback resistors in parallel) below 500 Ω. Larger sumpoint load resistances can be used with
increased phase compensation and/or by bypassing the feedback resistor.
3. Connect the case to any AC ground potential.
