DESCRIPTION
The PA97 is a high voltage MOSFET operational amplifier designed as a low cost solution for driving con‐
tinuous output currents up to 10mA and pulse currents to 15mA into capacitive loads. The safe operating
area (SOA) has no second breakdown limitations. The MOSFET output stage is biased class C for low quies‐
cent current operation. External compensation provides flexibility in choosing bandwidth and slew rate for
the application. Apex Microtechnology’s 7‐pin SIP package uses a minimum of board space allowing for high
density circuit boards.

GENERAL
Please read Application Note 1 “General Operating Considerations” which covers stability, supplies, heat

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 com‐
plex systems the PA97 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.

COMMON MODE INPUT RANGE
Operational amplifiers are usually designed to have a common mode input voltage range that approxi‐
mates the power supply voltage range. However, to keep the cost as low as possible and still meet the
requirements of most applications the common mode input voltage range of the PA97 is restricted. The input
pins must always be at least 30V from either supply voltage but never more than 500V. This means that the
PA97 cannot be used in applications where the supply voltages are extremely unbalanced. For example, sup‐
ply voltages of +800V and –100V would not be allowed in an application where the non‐inverting pin is
grounded because in normal operation both input pins would be at 0V and the difference voltage between
the positive supply and the input pins would be 800V. In this kind of application, however, supply voltages
+500V and ‐100V does meet the input common mode voltage range requirements since the maximum differ‐
ence voltage between the inputs pins and the supply voltage is 500V (the maximum allowed). The output has
no such restrictions on its voltage swing. The output can swing within 24V of either supply voltage regardless
of value so long as the total supply voltage does not exceed 900V.
INPUT PROTECTION
Although the PA97 can withstand differential input voltages up to ±20V, additional external protection is
recommended. In most applications 1N4148 or 1N914 signal diodes are sufficient (D1, D2 in Figure 13a). In
more demanding applications where low leakage or low capacitance are of concern 2N4416 or 2N5457‐
2N5459 JFETs connected as diodes will be required (Q1, Q2 in Figure 13b). In either case the input differential
voltage will be clamped to ±.7V. This is sufficient overdrive to produce maximum power bandwidth. Note that
this protection does not automatically protect the amplifier from excessive common mode input voltages.
Figure 13: Input Protection
PA97U Rev J

PA97
POWER SUPPLY PROTECTION
Unidirectional zener diode transient suppressors are recommended as protection on the supply pins. 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 per‐
formance including power‐on overshoot and power‐off polarity reversal 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 is 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.
EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
The compensation capacitor CC must be rated for the total supply voltage. 10pF NPO (COG) capacitor
rated at 1kV is recommended.
Of equal importance is the voltage rating and voltage coefficient of the gain setting feedback resistor.
Typical voltage ratings of low wattage resistors are 150 to 250V. Up to 900V can appear across the feedback
resistor. High voltage rated resistors can be obtained. However a 1 MΩ feedback resistor composed of five
200 kΩ resistors in series will produce the proper voltage rating.
CAUTIONS
The operating voltages of the PA97 are potentially lethal. During circuit design develop a functioning cir‐
cuit at the lowest possible voltages. Clip test leads should be used for “hands off” measurements while trou‐
bleshooting. With no internal current limit, proper choice of load impedance and supply voltage is required to
meet SOA limitations. An output short circuit will destroy the amplifier within milliseconds.
STABILITY
The PA97 is stable at gains of 10 or more with a NPO (COG) compensation capacitor of 10pF. The com‐
pensation capacitor, CC, in the external connections diagram must be rated at 1000V working voltage and
mounted closely to pins 4 and 6 to prevent spurious oscillation. A compensation capacitor less than 10pF is
not recommended.
