PA340
High voltage considerations should be taken when designing board layouts for the PA340. The PA340 may require a
derate in supply voltage depending on the spacing used for board layout. The 14-mil minimum spacing of the 7-pin
DDPAK is adequate to standoff the 350V rating of the PA340. However, a supply voltage derate to 250V is required
if the spacing of circuit board artwork is less than 11 mils.
The metal tab of the PA340CC package is directly tied to -Vs.

Two PA340 amplifiers operated as a bridge driver for a piezo transducer provides a low cost 660 volt total drive
capability. The RN CN network serves to raise the apparent gain of A2 at high frequencies. If RN is set equal to R the
amplifiers can be compensated identically and will have matching bandwidths.

NOTES:
1. Unless otherwise noted TC = 25°C, CC = 6.8pF. DC input specifications are ± value given. Power supply voltage is typical rating.
2. Long term operation at the maximum junction temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate
internal power dissipation to achieve high MTTF. For guidance, refer to heatsink data sheet.
3. Guaranteed but not tested.
4. Since the PA340 has no current limit, load impedance must be large enough to limit output current to
120mA.
5. Heat tab attached to 3/32" FR-4 board with 2oz. copper. Topside copper area (heat tab directly attached) = 1000 sq. mm, backside copper area = 2500 sq. mm, board area = 2500 sq. mm.

OTHER STABILITY CONCERNS
Please read Application Note 1 "General Operating Considerations" which covers stability, power supplies, heat
sinking, mounting, current limit, SOA interpretation, and specification interpretation. Visit www.apexanalog.com
for design tools that help automate tasks such as calculations for stability, internal power dissipation, current limit,
heat sink selection, Apex Microtechnology's complete Application Notes library, Technical Seminar Workbook and
Evaluation Kits.
Open loop gain and phase shift both increase with increasing temperature. The PHASE COMPENSATION typical
graph shows closed loop gain and phase compensation capacitor value relationships for four case temperatures.
The curves are based on achieving a phase margin of 50°. Calculate the highest case temperature for the application (maximum ambient temperature and highest internal power dissipation) before choosing the compensation.
Keep in mind that when working with small values of compensation, parasitics may play a large role in performance
of the finished circuit. The compensation capacitor must be rated for at least the total voltage applied to the amplifier
and should be a temperature stable type such as NPO or COG.
There are two important concepts about closed loop gain when choosing compensation. They stem from the fact
that while "gain" is the most commonly used term, β (the feedback factor) is really what counts when designing for
stability.
1. Gain must be calculated as a non-inverting circuit (equal input and feedback resistors can provide a signal gain
of -1, but for calculating offset errors, noise, and stability, this is a gain of 2).
2. Including a feedback capacitor changes the feedback factor or gain of the circuit. Consider RIN = 4.7k, Rf = 47k
for a gain of 11. Compensation of 4.7 to 6.8pF would be reasonable. Adding 33pF parallel to the 47K rolls off the
circuit at 103kHz, and at 2MHz has reduced gain from 11 to roughly 1.5 and the circuit is likely to oscillate.
As a general rule the DC summing junction impedance (parallel combination of the feedback resistor and all input
resistors) should be limited to 5K ohms or less. The amplifier input capacitance of about 6pF, plus capacitance of
connecting traces or wires and (if used) a socket will cause undesirable circuit performance and even oscillation if
these resistances are too high. In circuits requiring high resistances, measure or estimate the total sum point capacitance, multiply by RIN /Rf, and parallel Rf with this value. Capacitors included for this purpose are usually in the
single digit pF range. This technique results in equal feedback factor calculations for AC and DC cases. It does not
produce a roll off, but merely keeps β constant over a wide frequency range. Paragraph 6 of Application Note 19
details suitable stability tests for the finished circuit.
SAFE OPERATING AREA
The MOSFET output stage of the PA340 is not limited by second
breakdown considerations as in bipolar output stages. However
there are still three distinct limitations:
1. Voltage withstand capability of the transistors.
2. Current handling capability of the die metallization.
3. Temperature of the output MOSFETS.

3.4 HEATSINKING
The PA340CC 7-pin DDPAK surface mountable package has a large exposed integrated copper heatslug to which
the monolithic amplifier is directly attached. The PA340CC requires surface mount techniques of heatsinking. A solder connection to a copper foil area as defined in Note 5 of Page 3 is recommended for circuit board layouts. This
may be adequate heatsinking but the large number of variables suggests temperature measurements to be made
on the top of the package. Do not allow the temperature to exceed 85°C.
3.5
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
Although the PA340 can withstand differential input voltages up to 16V, in
some applications additional external protection may be needed. Differential inputs exceeding 16V will be clipped by the protection circuitry. However, if more than a few milliamps of current is available from the overload
source, the protection circuitry could be destroyed. For differential sources
above 16V, adding series resistance limiting input current to 1mA will prevent damage. Alternatively, 1N4148 signal diodes connected anti-parallel
across the input pins is usually sufficient. In more demanding applications
where bias current is important, diode connected JFETs such as 2N4416
will be required. See Q1 and Q2 in Figure 5. In either case the differential
input voltage will be clamped to 0.7V. This is sufficient overdrive to produce
the maximum power bandwidth.

In the case of inverting circuits where the +IN pin is grounded, the diodes
FIGURE 5. Overvoltage Protection
mentioned above will also afford protection from excessive common mode
voltage. In the case of non-inverting circuits, clamp diodes from each input to each supply will provide protection.
Note that these diodes will have substantial reverse bias voltage under normal operation and diode leakage will
produce errors.
Some applications will also need over-voltage protection devices connected to the power supply rails. Unidirectional
zener diode transient suppressors are recommended. The zeners clamp transients to voltages within the power
supply rating and also clamp power supply reversals to ground. Whether the zeners are used or not the system
power supply should be evaluated for transient performance including power-on overshoot and power-off polarity
reversals as well as line regulation. See Z1 and Z2 in Figure 5.
