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
Figure 20: Typical Application Circuit
Figure 20 shows PA99 in a typical inverting amplifier circuit. The resistors RLIM+ and RLIM- are used to limit
the current output. If no current limit is desired, a direct connection between CL+ and OUT is required for
proper operation, and CL- must be connected to -VS with a resistor larger or equal 200 k in that case.
OUTPUT CURRENT AND DEVICE COOLING
PA99 can handle output currents of ±50mA, but careful considerations need to be done about proper
cooling of the device to avoid damage due to overheating. When calculating the power loss inside the device,
the output current and the quiescent currents need to be considered.
For example, if the device uses a supply voltage of 1000V, the output voltage to a resistive load is 500V
and the output current is 50mA, the power loss inside the device is calculated as follows:
P DEVICE = 1000V – 500V 50 + 4 mA = 27W
In the above example, the device will dissipate 27W of heat. If we supply 1500V instead of 1000V, the
power dissipation of the device doubles, resulting in a loss of 54W.
As alternative to extensive device cooling, it should be considered to alter the supply voltage of the
device. If the PA99 is used in a test environment where is needs to drive 50mA at 500V but 5mA at 2000V,
consider supplying two voltages, i.e. 1000V and 2500V, and provide for sufficient cooling for the approximate
30W of power dissipation of the device.

OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
Although the PA99 can withstand differential input voltages up to ±20V, additional external protection is
recommended. In most applications 1N4148 signal diodes connected anti-parallel across the input pins are
sufficient. In more demanding applications where bias current is important diode connected JFETs such as
2N4416 will be required. In either case the differential input voltage will be clamped to ±0.7V. This is usually
sufficient overdrive to produce the maximum power bandwidth.
CURRENT LIMIT
PA99 allows independent setting of a positive and negative current limit.
POSITIVE CURRENT LIMIT
The resistor value RLIM+ for positive current limit is calculated as follows:

TEMPERATURE SENSING
The temperature sensing pins of the PA99 are connected to a 1N4448 type of diode that can be used to
sense the temperature inside the device. A typical application will use a current source as the best means for
the excitation of the diode.
