DESCRIPTION
The PA91 is a high voltage, low quiescent current MOSFET operational amplifier designed as a low cost
solution for driving continuous output currents up to 200mA and pulse currents up to 350mA. The safe operating area (SOA) has no second breakdown limitations and can be observed for all load types by choosing an
appropriate current limiting resistor. The MOSFET output stage is biased AB for linear operation. External
compensation provides flexibility in choosing bandwidth and slew rate for the application. Apex Microtechnology’s Power SIP uses a minimum of board space allowing for high density circuit boards. The 12-pin Power
SIP is electrically isolated.

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
The safe operating area curves define the maximum additional internal power dissipation the amplifier
can tolerate when it produces the necessary output to drive an external load.
The MOSFET output stage of this power operational amplifier has two distinct limitations:
1. The current handling capability of the MOSFET geometry and the wire bonds.
2. The junction temperature of the output MOSFETs.
Note: The output stage is protected against transient flyback. However, for protection against sustained,
high energy flyback, external fast-recovery diodes should be used.

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
LOW POWER, PIEZOELECTRIC POSITIONING
Piezo positioning may be applied to the focusing of segmented mirror systems. The composite mirror
may be composed of hundreds of elements, each requiring focusing under computer control. In such complex systems the PA91 reduces the costs of power supplies and cooling with its advantages of low cost and
low quiescent power consumption while increasing circuit density with the SIP package.

CURRENT LIMIT
For proper operation, the current limit resistor (RCL) must be connected as shown in the typical connection diagram. For optimum reliability the resistor value should be set as high as possible. The value is calculated as follows; with the maximum practical value of 32 ohms.
0.65V
R CL = ---------------I CL A
INPUT PROTECTION
Although the PA91 can withstand differential voltages up to ±20V, additional external protection is recommended. Low leakage, low capacitance JFETs connected as diodes are recommended (e.g. 2N4416, Q1-Q4
in Figure 16). The differential input voltage will be clamped to ±1.4V. This is sufficient overdrive to produce
maximum power bandwidth.
Figure 16: Overvoltage Protection
POWER SUPPLY PROTECTION
Unidirectional zener diode transient suppressors are recommended as protection on the supply pins. See
Figure 16. The zeners clamp transients to voltages within the power supply rating and also clamp power supply reversals to ground. Whether the zeners are used or not, the system power supply should be evaluated
for transient performance including power-on overshoot and power-off polarity reversals as well as line regulation.
Conditions which can cause open circuits or polarity reversals on either power supply rail should be
avoided or protected against. Reversals or opens on the negative supply rail are known to induce input stage
failure. Unidirectional transzorbs prevent this, and it is desirable that they be both electrically and physically
as close to the amplifier as possible.
PA91U Rev O
11
PA91
STABILITY
The PA91 is externally compensated and performance can be tailored to the application. Use the graphs
of small signal response and power response as a guide. The compensation capacitor CC must be rated at
500V working voltage. An NPO capacitor is recommended. The compensation network CCRC must be
mounted closely to the amplifier pins 4 and 5 to avoid spurious oscillation.
QUIESCENT CURRENT REDUCTION
When pin 3 (IQ) is shorted to pin 5 (CC2) the AB biasing of the output stage is disabled. This raises distortion since the output stage is then class C biased, but reduces the quiescent current by 1mA for a power dissipation savings of 0.4W. Pin 3 may be left open if not used.
