7 TO-220 Plastic Package (PA75CD)
7 TO-220 with Staggered Lead Form (PA75CX)
7 DDPAK Surface Mount Package (PA75CC)
DESCRIPTION
The amplifier design consists of a dual power op amp on a single monolithic die. Side B of the dual monolithic is configured as a unity gain buffer to increase the current capability of the primary side A. The use of
two PA75 amplifiers provides a cost-effective solution to applications where multiple amplifiers are required
or a bridge configuration is needed. Very low harmonic distortion of 0.02% THD and low IQ makes the PA75 a
good solution for power audio applications.
The PA75 is available in three standard package designs. The surface mount version of the PA75, the
PA75CC, is an industry standard non-hermetic plastic 7-pin DDPAK. The through hole versions of the PA75,
the PA75CD and PA75CX, are industry standard non-hermetic plastic 7-pin TO-220 packages. The PA75CX is
staggered lead formed and offers standard 100 mil spacing. This allows for easier PC board layout. (Please
refer to the CX lead form package drawing for dimension of the PA75CX).
The monolithic amplifier is directly attached to the metal tabs of the PA75CC, PA75CD, and PA75CX. The
metal tabs of the packages are directly tied to -Vs.

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
The SOA curves combine the effect of all limits for this power op amp. 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.

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
Combining the power op amp (primary channel A) and the unity gain buffer (follower channel B) in a parallel connection yields a single 2.5A amplifier. RI and RF can set up channel A for the required gain for the
overall circuit. Small values of RS (sense resistors) are used on the outputs to improve current sharing characteristics. The primary amplifier can be configured in inverting or non-inverting gain configurations.
Figure 13: Typical Application
STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
All monolithic power op amps use output stage topologies that present special stability problems. This is
primarily due to non-complementary (both devices are NPN) output stages with a mismatch in gain and
phase response for different polarities of output current. It is difficult for the op amp manufacturer to optimize compensation for all operating conditions. For applications with load current exceeding 300mA, oscillation may appear. The oscillation may occur only with the output voltage swing at the negative or positive half
cycle. Under most operating and load conditions acceptable stability can be achieved by providing a series RC
snubber network connected from the output to ground. The recommended component values of the network are, RSN = 10 Ω and CSN = 0.01µF. Please refer to Application Note 1 for further details.

Figure 14: Stability
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The PA75CD and CX have a large exposed copper heat tab to which the monolithic is directly attached.
The PA75CD and CX may require an electrically insulating thermal washer, since the tab is directly tied to -VS.
This can result in a thermal impedance RCS of up to 1°C/W or greater.
The PA75CC has a large exposed integrated copper heatslug to which the monolithic is directly attached.
The solder connection of the heatslug to a minimum of 1 square inch foil area of the printed circuit board will
result in thermal performance of 25°C/W junction to air rating of the PA75CC. Solder connection to an area of
1 to 2 square inches of foil is required for minimal power applications.
Where the PA75CC is used in higher power applications, it is necessary to use surface mount techniques
of heatsinking. Surface mount techniques include the use of a surface mount fan in combination with a surface mount heatsink on the backside of the FR4/ PC board with through hole thermal vias. Other highly thermal conductive substrate board materials are available for maximum heat sinking.

MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS
1. Always use a heat sink. Even unloaded the PA75 can dissipate up to 0.4 Watts.
2. Avoid bending the leads. Such action can lead to internal damage.
3. Always fasten the tab of the CD and CX package to the heat sink before the leads are soldered to fixed terminals.
4. Strain relief must be provided if there is any probability of axial stress to the leads.
