DESCRIPTION
The PA86 is a high voltage, high speed Precision IC power
op amp with performance and unique features not found previously in any commercially available OpAmp .
Novel input stage design of this amplifier provides extremely
high slew rates in pulse applications while maintaining low
quiescent current of under 1mA. This novel input stage also
has the effect of adding variables to the power response and
slew rate characteristics of the amplifier. To a lesser degree,
there are also input related effects on unity gain bandwidth
and phase. It is important to note that the slew rate is a strong
function of input voltage amplitude. It should be noted that the
package tab needs to be connected to a stable reference
such as GND for high slew rates. Please refer to special
considerations section for details.
The output stages are well protected with user defined
current limit although the Safe Operating Area (SOA) must
be observed for reliable protection. Proper heatsinking is
required for maintaining maximum reliability. External phase
compensation provides the user with great flexibility in trading
gain, stability and bandwidth.

The PA86 is ideally suited to driving continuous drop ink jet
systems, in both piezo actuation and deflection applications.
The deflection amplifier shown above achieves accurate droplet
displacement at high speeds to deposit crisp, clear lot code
information on product containers. The external compensation
networks have been optimized to match the gain of the circuit
and the complex impedance of the load. The combination of
high voltage and high speed allow repeatable low cost deflection of droplets for high production environments.

2. Long term operation at the maximum junction temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate power dissipation to achieve
high MTTF.
3. +VS and –VS denote the positive and negative supply voltages of the output stage.
4. Rating applies if output current alternates between both output transistors at a rate faster than 60Hz.

The MOSFET output stage of the PA86 is not limited by
second breakdown considerations as in bipolar output stages.
Only thermal considerations and current handling capabilities
limit the SOA. The output stage is protected against transient
flyback by the parasitic body diodes of the output stage MOSFET structure. However, for protection against sustained high
energy flyback external fast–recovery diodes must be used.

The input signal amplitude to the PA86 amplifier is related to the overall phase margin and
unity gain bandwidth. For very small signal amplitudes the amplifier phase margin is negative
and it shows instability. If small signal stability
is desired a constant current source of 500 uA
(or resistor for constant supply voltage) needs
to be added externally between CC– and +VS.
This current source has minor effects on output
offset voltage but helps immensely with small
signal stability. The following gain and phase
plots have been generated with a 100k resistor
(fixed dual supply voltage +/– 50V) between
CC– and +VS. Please note that the unity gain
bandwidth and phase margin improves with
larger signal amplitude because of the unique
differential amplifier stage in the PA86.

OPERATING
CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
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.apexmicrotech.com for design tools
that help automate tasks such as calculations for stability,
internal power dissipation, current limit, heat sink selection,
Apex’s complete Application Notes library, Technical Seminar
Workbook and Evaluation Kits.
Bypass capacitors to power supply terminals +Vs and –Vs
must be connected physically close to the pins to prevent local
parasitic oscillation in the output stage of the PA86. Use high
quality ceramic capacitors (X7R) 0.1μF or greater.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
It is very important to realize that in order to achieve
high frequency performance the heat sink tab has to be
tied to a stable, low impedance reference, i.e. power supply or GND. An AC connection through a 0.1µF capacitor
is also sufficient. Internal to the PA86, the heatsink tab
is electrically isolated to more than 350V . This may help
allay some electrical isolation concerns in tying the heat
sink to Vs or GND.
CURRENT LIMIT
For proper operation, the current limit resistor, RLIM, must
be connected as shown in the external connections diagram.
For maximum reliability and protection, the resistor should be
set as high as possible. The maximum practical value using
the following formula is 12 ohms. For even lower current limit
values, please see the CURRENT LIMIT vs. RESISTOR graph
on the TYPICAL PERFORMANCE GRAPHS page.
RLIM = 0.7 / ILIM
SUPPLY CURRENT
The PA86 features a class A/B driver stage to drive the output
MOSFETs and an innovative input stage to achieve very high
slew rates. The supply current drawn by the PA86, even with
no load, varies with the slew rate of the output signal.
STABILITY
The PA86 is externally compensated and performance can
be tailored to the application. Use the graphs of small signal
response and power response as a guide. Due to the innovative
design of the PA86, two compensation networks are required.
The values of these components should be the same to provide symmetric slew rate characteristics. The compensation
capacitor Cc must be rated at 500V working voltage. NPO
capacitors are recommended. The compensation networks
CcRc must be mounted closely to the amplifier pins 8 & 11
and 3 & 10 to avoid spurious oscillation.
The PA86 may require an external 33 pF capacitor (minimum breakdown of 350V) between Cc– and –Vs to prevent
oscillations in the falling edge of the output. This capacitor
is provided with the evaluation kit. Please refer to EK60U
datasheet for details.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
Like many high performance MOSFET amplifiers, the PA86
very sensitive to damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Failure to follow proper ESD handling procedures could have
results ranging from reduced operating performance to catastrophic damage. Minimum proper handling includes the use
of grounded wrist or shoe straps, grounded work surfaces.
Ionizers directed at the work in progress can neutralize the
charge build up in the work environment and are strongly
recommended.
