DESCRIPTION
The PA79 is a high voltage, high speed, low idle current op-amp capable of delivering up to 200mA peak
output current. Due to the dynamic biasing of the input stage, it can achieve slew rates over 350V/µs, while
only consuming less than 1mA of idle current. External phase compensation allows great flexibility for the
user to optimize bandwidth and stability.
The output stage is protected with user selected current limit resistor. For the selection of this current
limiting resistor, pay close attention to the SOA curves for each package type. Proper heatsinking is required
for maximum reliability.
