DESCRIPTION
The PA01 and PA73 are high voltage, high output current operational amplifiers designed to drive resistive, inductive and capacitive loads. For optimum linearity, the PA01 has a class A/B output stage. The PA73
has a simple class C output stage to reduce cost for motor control and other applications where crossover distortion is not critical and to provide interchangeability with type 3573 amplifiers. The safe operating area
(SOA) can be observed for all operating conditions by selection of user programmable current limit resistors.
These amplifiers are internally compensated for all gain settings. For continuous operation under load, a
heatsink of proper rating is recommended.
This hybrid integrated circuit utilizes 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. 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 output stage of most power amplifiers has three 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.
3. The junction temperature of the output transistors.

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. Please see Application Note 22.

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
The pulse output of a non-contact optical sensor drives a voltage-to-frequency converter which generates feedback for the op amp. With the loop closed in this manner, the op amp corrects for any variations in
the speed due to changing load. Because of operation in only one direction, an unsymmetrical supply is used
to maximize efficiency of both the power op amp and power supply. High speed diodes at the input protect
the op amp from commutator noise which may be generated by the motor.

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 ohm; however, for optimum reliability it should be set as
high as possible. Refer to the “General Operating Considerations” section of the handbook for current limit
adjust details.
