DESCRIPTION
12-pin Power DIP
PACKAGE STYLE CR
ISENSE A
The SA12 is a pulse width modulation amplifier that can
supply 3000W to the load. An internal 400kHz oscillator requires no external components. The clock input stage divides
the oscillator frequency by two, which provides the 200 kHz
switching frequency. 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 H-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.

Each of the two active output transistors can dissipate 125W.
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
dissipation to achieve high MTTF. For guidance, refer to the heatsink data sheet.
Guaranteed but not tested.
The SA12 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.Cirrus.com for design tools that help
automate pwm filter design; heat sink selection; Apex Precision
Power’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 400kHz. 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 400kHz 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
A fixed internal current limit senses the high side current.
Should either of the outputs be shorted to ground the high
side current limit will latch off the output transistors. The temperature of the output transistors is also monitored. Should a
fault condition raise the temperature of the output transistors
to 165°C the thermal protection circuit will latch off the output
transistors. The latched condition can be cleared by either
recycling the Vcc power or by toggling the I LIMIT/SHDN input
with a 10V pulse. See Figures A and B. The outputs will remain
off as long as the shutdown pulse is high (10V).
When supply voltage is over 100V, these circuits may not
protect the FET switches in the case of short circuits directly
at the pins of the amplifier. However, a small inductance between the amplifier and the short circuit will limit current rise
time and the protection circuits will be effective. A pair of 12
inch wires is adequate inductance.

limiting 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
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.
I SENSE A
5K
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.
MODULATION RANGE
The high side of the all N channel H-bridge is driven by a
bootstrap circuit. For the output circuit to switch high, the low
side circuit must have previously been switched on in order to
charge the bootstrap capacitor. Therefore, if the input signal
to the SA12 demands a 100% duty cycle upon start-up the
output will not follow and will be in a tri-state (open) 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 one time the output state will be correct thereafter.
In addition, if during normal operation the input signal drives
the SA12 beyond its linear modulation range (approximately
95%) the output will jump to 100% modulation.
