DESCRIPTION
ISENSE A
The SA03 is a pulse width amplifier that can supply 3000W
to the load. An internal 45kHz oscillator requires no external
components. The clock input stage divides the oscillator frequency by two, which provides the basic switching of 22.5 kHz.
External oscillators may also be used to lower the switching
frequency or to synchronize multiple amplifiers. Current sensing
is provided for each half of the bridge giving amplitude and
direction data. A shutdown input turns off all four drivers of the
H bridge output.A high side current limit and the programmable
low side current limit protect the amplifier from shorts to supply or ground in addition to load shorts. The H bridge output
MOSFETs are protected from thermal overloads by directly
sensing the temperature of the die.The 12-pin hermetic MO-127
power package occupies only 3 square inches of board space.

Unless otherwise noted: TC = 25°C, VS, VCC at typical specification.
Long term operation at the maximum junction temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate internal power

If 100% duty cycle is not required VS(MIN) = 0V.
The SA03 is constructed from MOSFET transistors. ESD handling procedures must be observed.
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 fumes.

GENERAL
Please read Application Note 30 on "PWM Basics". Refer
to Application Note 1 "General Operating Considerations" for
helpful information regarding power supplies, heat sinking
and mounting. Visit www.apexanalog.com for design tools
that help automate pwm filter design; heat sink selection; Apex
Microtechnology’s complete Application Notes library;Technical
Seminar Workbook; and Evaluation Kits.
CLOCK CIRCUIT AND RAMP GENERATOR
The clock frequency is internally set to a frequency of approximately 45kHz. The CLK OUT pin will normally be tied
to the CLK IN pin. The clock is divided by two and applied to
an RC network which produces a ramp signal at the –PWM/
RAMP pin. An external clock signal can be applied to the CLK
IN pin for synchronization purposes. If a clock frequency lower
than 45kHz is chosen an external capacitor must be tied to the
–PWM/RAMP pin. This capacitor, which parallels an internal
capacitor, must be selected so that the ramp oscillates 4 volts
p-p with the lower peak 3 volts above ground.
PWM INPUTS
The full bridge driver may be accessed via the pwm input
comparator. When +PWM > -PWM then A OUT > B OUT. A
motion control processor which generates the pwm signal can
drive these pins with signals referenced to GND.
PROTECTION CIRCUITS
In addition to the externally programmable current limit there
is also a fixed internal current limit which senses only the high
side current. It is nominally set to 140% of the continuous
rated output current. Should either of the outputs be shorted
to ground the high side current limit will latch off the output
transistors. Also, the temperature of the output transistors is
continually monitored. Should a fault condition occur which
raises the temperature of the output transistors to 165°C
the thermal protection circuit will activate and also latch off
the output transistors. In either case, it will be necessary to
remove the fault condition and recycle power to VCC and +VS
to restart the circuit.
CURRENT LIMIT
There are two load current sensing pins, I SENSE A and I
SENSE B. The two pins can be shorted in the voltage mode
connection but both must be used in the current mode connection (see figures A and B). It is recommended that RLIMIT
resistors be non-inductive. Load current flows in the I SENSE
pins. To avoid errors
due to lead lengths I SENSE A

value.As in most
switching circuits it may be difficult to determine the true noise
amplitude without careful attention to grounding of the oscilloscope probe. Use the shortest possible ground lead for the
probe and connect exactly at the GND terminal of the amplifier.
Suggested starting values are CFILTER = .01uF, RFILTER = 5k .
The required value of RLIMIT in voltage mode may be calculated by:
RLIMIT = .1 V / ILIMIT
I SENSE A
1K
where RLIMIT is the required resistor value, and ILIMIT is the
maximum desired current. In current mode the required value
of each RLIMIT is 2 times this value since the sense voltage is
divided down by 2 (see Figure B). If RSHDN is used it will further
divide down the sense voltage. The shutdown divider network
will also have an effect on the filtering circuit.
BYPASSING
Adequate bypassing of the power supplies is required for
proper operation. Failure to do so can cause erratic and low
efficiency operation as well as excessive ringing at the outputs. The Vs supply should be bypassed with at least a 1µF
ceramic capacitor in parallel with another low ESR capacitor
of at least 10µF per amp of output current. Capacitor types
rated for switching applications are the only types that should
be considered. The bypass capacitors must be physically
connected directly to the power supply pins. Even one inch of
lead length will cause excessive ringing at the outputs. This
is due to the very fast switching times and the inductance of
the lead connection. The bypassing requirements of the Vcc
supply are less stringent, but still necessary. A .1µF to .47µF
ceramic capacitor connected directly to the Vcc pin will suffice.
STARTUP CONDITIONS
The high side of the all N channel output bridge circuit is
driven by bootstrap circuit and charge pump arrangement. In
order for the circuit to produce a 100% duty cycle indefinitely
the low side of each half bridge circuit must have previously
been in the ON condition. This means, in turn, that if the input
signal to the SA03 at startup is demanding a 100% duty cycle,
the output may not follow the command and may be in a tristate condition. The ramp signal must cross the input signal
at some point to correctly determine the output state. After the
ramp crosses the input signal level one time, the output state
will be correct thereafter.

POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCING
The VCC power supply voltage must be applied prior to the +VS power supply voltage. The output stage devices will be damaged
if the VCC supply is not present when the +VS supply is applied. Always sequence the VCC supply prior to the +VS supply.
