DESCRIPTION
The PA83 is a high voltage operational amplifier designed for output voltage swings up to ±145V with a
dual (±) supply or 290V with a single supply. Its input stage is protected against transient and steady state
overvoltages up to and including the supply rails. High accuracy is achieved with a cascode input circuit con‐
figuration. All internal biasing is referenced to a zener diode fed by a FET constant current source. As a result,
the PA83 features an unprecedented supply range and excellent supply rejection. The output stage is biased
in the class A/B mode for linear operation. Internal phase compensation assures stability at all gain settings
without need for external components. Fixed current limits protect these amplifiers against shorts to com‐
mon at supply voltages up to 120V. For operation into inductive loads, two external flyback pulse protection
diodes are recommended. However, a heatsink may be necessary to maintain the proper case temperature
under normal operating conditions.
This hybrid circuit utilizes beryllia (BeO) substrates, thick (cermet) film 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 isolation washers
and/or improper mounting torque voids product warranty. Please see Application Note 1 “General Operating
Considerations.”

CAUTION
The internal substrate contains beryllia (BeO). Do not break the seal. If accidentally broken, do
not crush, machine, or subject to temperatures in excess of 850°C to avoid generating toxic

1. +VS and –VS denote the positive and negative supply rail respectively. Total VS is measured from +VS to –VS.
2. Signal slew rates at pins 5 and 6 must be limited to less than 1V/ns to avoid damage. When faster waveforms are unavoid‐
able, resistors in series with those pins, limiting current to 150mA will protect the amplifier from damage.

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
The bipolar output stage of this high voltage amplifier has two distinct limitations.
1. The internal current limit, which limits maximum available output current.
2. The second breakdown effect, which occurs whenever the simultaneous collector current and collector‐
emitter voltage exceed specified limits.
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. However, the following guidelines
may save extensive analytical efforts:
1. The following capacitive and inductive loads are safe:

2. Short circuits to ground are safe with dual supplies up to 120V or single supplies up to 120V.
3. Short circuits to the supply rails are safe with total supply voltages up to 120V, e.g. ±60V.
4. The output stage is protected against transient flyback. However, for protection against sustained, high
energy flyback, external fast‐recovery diodes should be used.
