Gain bandwidth: 6.5 MHz
Slew rate: 32 V/µs
Wide temperature range: –40°C to +85°C
8-pin HSOIC (SO PowerPAD™) package
The OPA462 is internally protected against overtemperature conditions and current overloads. The
device is fully specified to perform over a wide powersupply range of ±6 V to ±90 V, or on a single supply
of 12 V to 180 V. The status flag is an open-drain
output that allows the device to be easily referenced
to standard low-voltage logic circuitry. This highvoltage operational amplifier provides excellent
accuracy and wide output swing, and is free from
phase inversion problems that are often found in
similar amplifiers.

•
•
The output can be disabled using the enable-disable
(E/D) pin. The E/D pin has a common return pin to
allow for easy interface to low-voltage logic circuitry.
This disable is accomplished without disturbing the
input signal path, not only saving power but also
protecting the load.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The OPA462 is an operational amplifier (op amp) with high voltage of 180 V, and a high current drive of 30 mA.
This device is unity-gain stable and features a gain-bandwidth product of 6.5 MHz. The high-voltage OPA462
offers excellent accuracy and wide output swing, and has no phase inversion problems that are typically found in
similar op amps. The device can be applied in many common op amp configurations requiring a supply voltage
range from ±6-V to ±90-V.
The OPA462 features an enable-disable function that provides the ability to turn off the output stage and reduce
power consumption when not being used. The device also features a Status Flag pin that indicates an
overtemperature or overcurrent fault conditions.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Status Flag Pin
The Status Flag pin indicates fault conditions and can be used in conjunction with the enable-disable function to
implement fault control loops. This pin is triggered when the device enters an overtemperature or overcurrent
fault condition.
7.3.2 Thermal Protection
The OPA462 features internal thermal protection that is triggered when the junction temperature is greater than
150°C. When the protection circuit is triggered, thermal shutdown occurs to allow the junction to return a safe
operating temperature. Thermal shutdown enables the Status Flag pin, which indicates the device has entered
the thermal shutdown state.
7.3.3 Current Limit
Current limiting is accomplished by internally limiting the drive to the output transistors. The output can supply the
limited current continuously, unless the die temperature rises to 150°C, which initiates thermal shutdown. With
adequate heat dissipation, and use of the lowest possible supply voltage, the OPA462 can remain in current limit
continuously without entering thermal shutdown. The best practice is to provide proper heat dissipation (either by
a physical plate or by airflow) to remain well below the thermal shutdown threshold. For longest operational life of
the device, keep the junction temperature below 125°C.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.4 Enable and Disable
If left disconnected, E/D Com is pulled near V– (negative supply) by an internal 10-μA current source. When left
floating, E/D is held approximately 2 V above E/D Com by an internal 1-µA source. Even though active operation
of the OPA462 results when the E/D and E/D Com pins are not connected, a moderately fast, negative-going
signal capacitively coupled to the E/D pin can overpower the 1-µA pullup current and cause device shutdown.
This behavior can appear as an oscillation and is encountered first near extreme cold temperatures. If the enable
function is not used, a conservative approach is to connect E/D through a 30-pF capacitor to a low impedance
source. Another alternative is the connection of an external current source from V+ (positive supply) sufficient to
hold the enable level above the shutdown threshold. Figure 60 shows a circuit that connects E/D and E/D Com.
The E/D Com pin is limited to (V–) + 100 V to enable the use of digital ground in a application where the OPA462
power supply is ±90 V.
When the E/D pin is dropped to a voltage between 0 V and 0.65 V above the E/D Com pin voltage the output of
the OPA462 will become disabled. While in this state the impedance of the output increases to approximately
160 kΩ. Because the inputs are still active, an input signal might be passed to the output of the amplifier. The
voltage at the amplifier output is reduced because of a drop across this output impedance, and may appear
distorted compared to a normal operation output.
After the E/D pin voltage is raised to a voltage between 2.5 V and 5 V greater than the E/D Com, the output
impedance returns to a normal state and the amplifier operates normally.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
A unique mode of the OPA462 is the output disable capability. This function conserves power during idle periods
(quiescent current drops to approximately 1 mA). This disable is accomplished without disturbing the input signal
path, not only saving power but also protecting the load. This feature makes disable useful for implementing
external fault shutdown loops.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The OPA462 is a high-voltage, high-current operational amplifier capable of operating with supply voltages as
high as ±90 V (180 V), or as low as ±6 V (12 V). The high-voltage process and design of the OPA462 allows the
device to be used in applications where most operational amplifiers cannot be applied, such as high-voltage
power-supply conditions, or when there is a need for very a high-output voltage swing. The output is capable of
delivering up to ±30 mA output current, or swinging within a few volts of the supply rails at moderate current
levels. The OPA462 features input overvoltage protection, output current limiting, thermal protection, a status
flag, and enable-disable capability.

8.2.1.1 Design Requirements
The OPA462 high-voltage op amp can be used in commonly applied op amp circuits, but with the added
capability of allowing for the use of much higher supply voltages. A very common application of an op amp is that
of a noninverting amplifier with a gain of 1 V/V or higher. Figure 61 shows the OPA462 in a noninverting
configuration.
The design goals for this circuit are:
• A noninverting gain of 17 V/V (24.6 dB)
• A peak output voltage of 85 V, while driving a 10 kΩ output load
• Correct biasing of E/D and E/D Com
• Protection against back electromagnetic force (EMF)

example, a 5-VPK ac signal is amplified to 85 VPK across a 10-kΩ load resistor connected to the output. The peak
current for this application is 8.5 mA, and is well within the OPA462 output current capability. Higher output
current, typically up to 30 mA, may be attained at the expense of the output swing to the supply rails. A ±90-VDC
power supply is required for this configuration.
The noninverting amplifier circuit shows the OPA462 enable-disable function. When placed in disabled mode the
op amp becomes nonfunctional, and the current consumption is reduced to approximately one-third to one-half
the enabled level. An enable active state occurs when the E/D pin is left open, or is biased 3 V to 5 V greater
than the E/D Com voltage level. If biased between the E/D com level, to E/D Com + 0.65 V, the OPA462
disables. More information about this function is provided in the Enable and Disable section.
Op amps designed for high-voltage and high-power applications may encounter output loads that can be quite
different than those used in low-voltage, non-power op amp applications. Although every effort is made to make
a high-voltage op amp such as the OPA462 robust and tolerant of different supply and different output load
conditions, some loads can present potentially harmful circumstances.
Purely resistive output loads operating within the current capability range of the OPA462 do not present an
unsafe condition, provided the thermal requirements discussed in the Layout section. Complex loads that have
inductive or capacitive reactive elements might present an unsafe condition, and must be fully considered and
addressed before implementation.
A potentially destructive mechanism is the back EMF transient that can be generated when driving an inductive
load. D1, D2, Z1 and Z2 in Figure 61 have been added to the basic OPA462 amplifier circuit to provide protection
in the event of back EMF. If the voltage at the OPA462 output attempts to momentarily rise above V+, D1
becomes forward-biased and clamps the voltage between the output and V+ pins. This clamp must be sufficient
to protect the OPA462 output transistor. If the event causes the V+ voltage to increase the power supply bypass
capacitor, Z1, or both, a Zener diode or a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) can provide a path for the transient
current to ground. D2 and Z2 provide the same protection in the negative supply circuit.
The OPA462 noninverting amplifier circuit with a closed-loop gain of 17 V/V has a small-signal, –3-dB bandwidth
of nearly 800 kHz. However, the large-signal bandwidth is likely of greater importance in a high-output-voltage
application. For that mode of operation, the slew rate of the op amp and the peak output swing voltage must be
considered in order to determine the maximum large-signal bandwidth. The slew rate (SR) of the OPA462 is
typically 6.5 V/µs, or 6.5 × 106 V/s. Using the 85-VPK output voltage available from the circuit in Figure 61, the
maximum large-signal bandwidth is calculated from the slew rate formula. Equation 1, Equation 2 and Equation 3
show the calculation process.

The best practice for a typical parameter such as slew rate to allow for variance. In this example, keeping the
large signal fMAX to 10 kHz is sufficient to make sure the output avoids slew rate limiting.

8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The improved Howland current pump circuit is illustrated in Figure 63. The OPA462 sources an output current of
20 mA when a low-voltage single-ended, 2.5-V reference voltage is applied to the circuit input. The source could
be an actual 2.5-V precision reference. If the current-pump output current requires being set to different levels, a
voltage output DAC can be used. If the input voltage polarity is reversed, the output current reverses direction,
and 20 mA is sunk from the load through the OPA462 output.
The circuit shown in Figure 63 provides the resistance values required to obtain a ±20-mA output current with the
2.5-V input voltage applied. The following can be used to select the resistors, thus setting the voltage gain and
output current.
• R13 sets the gain, and is adjusted by the ratio of R14 / R15
• Selecting a low value for R13 enables all other resistors to be high, limiting current through the feedback
network
• The ratio of R11 / (R12 + R13) must equal R14 / R15
• If R14 = R15, then R12 = R11 – R13
Applying these relationships the resistors are selected or derived as follows:
• Let R14 = R15 = 100 kΩ
• R13 = [(VP – VN) (R15 / R14)] / IL = [(2.5 V – 0 V) (105 Ω / 105 Ω)] = 125 Ω
• R12 = (R11 – R13) = (100 kΩ – 125 Ω) = 99.875 kΩ
Verifying R11 / (R12 + R13) must equal R14 / R15 requirement:
• R12 = [R11(R15 / R14)] – R13 = [105 Ω (105 Ω / 105 Ω)] – 125 Ω = 99.875 kΩ
The resistor values for R11 through R15 are seen in Figure 63.
The load is set to be 500 Ω, the sourced output current through the load is 20 mA, and the output voltage is 10
V. The voltage directly at the OPA462 output 2.5 V higher, or 12.5 V, which compensates for the voltage drop
across the 125-Ω R13 resistor. A feedback capacitor can be added to reduce the ac bandwidth of the improved
Howland current pump circuit, if needed. In this example, no capacitor is used.
The improved Howland current pump output is limited to the combined effects of the OPA462 linear output
voltage swing range, the voltage drop developed across R13, and the voltage drop developed across load. For a
particular output current, a maximum output voltage span can be achieved. This span is referred to as the output
voltage compliance range.
The OPA462 current pump sources or sinks a constant current through a load resistance of 0 Ω on the low end,
to just beyond 4.25 kΩ on the high end. This current range is portrayed in the dc transfer plot show in Figure 64.
As shown, the load can be vary from 0 Ω to 4.25 kΩ and the output remains within the span of linear output
compliance range.

SBOS803A – DECEMBER 2018 – REVISED DECEMBER 2019
Typical Applications (continued)
The 4.25-kΩ limit is determined by the maximum 85-V drop across the load, and the 2.5-V drop across R13 when
20 mA flows through both. This voltage drop results in an output voltage of 87.5 V at the output of the OPA462,
close to the positive swing limit. Beyond 4.25 kΩ, current-pump operation is forced outside the compliance range,
and the output current is longer maintained at the correct level.
The OPA462 provides this wide output compliance range because of the wide, ±90-V power supply rating. If a
standard ±15-V amplifier supply had been used with the OPA462, or another amplifier rated for ±15-V supplies,
the maximum load resistance is on the order of approximately 500 Ω to 600 Ω, depending on the particular
amplifier linear output range when delivering ±20 mA. The wide supply range of the OPA462 enables the device
to drive a much wider range of loads.
The improved Howland current pump can also be used to generate an accurate ac current with a peak output
that matches a specified dc current level. A ±20-mA dc current source using the OPA462 has already been
discussed; therefore, this current source is applied here to demonstrate how a 400-Hz, 20-mA current is
produced.
The same circuit used in Figure 63 is updated so that the 2.5-V dc voltage source has been replaced by a 400Hz ac source with a peak voltage of 2.5 V, as shown in Figure 65. A sine wave is used in this circuit, but a
triangle wave, square wave, and so on, can be used instead. The output current is dependent on the ac input
voltage at any particular moment.

Typical Applications (continued)
Make sure to consider the power handling ratings of the resistors used with a high-power or high-voltage
amplifier such as the OPA462. In this design, when the OPA462 is providing 20 mA dc to a 4.25-kΩ load
resistance, the dc power for the load and R13 is simply:
• Load Power = I2 ∙ RL = (20 ∙ 10 – 3 A)2 (4.25 ∙ 103 Ω) = 1.7 W
• Power R13 = I2 ∙ R13 = (20 ∙ 10 – 3 A)2 (125 Ω) = 50 mW
Clearly, the power dissipation of the load requires attention. However, in this design, R13 does not require high
power dissipation under these operating conditions. The load must be rated to dissipate the 1.7 W over the
expected operating temperature range for this example. Most often, resistor power dissipation is specified at an
ambient temperature of 25°C, and reduces as temperature increases. The use of a resistor with a power rating
greater than the power that must be dissipated is almost always necessary. For this example, the load may need
to be rated for 3 W, or even 5 W, to make sure that the load does not overheat and maintains reliability. in any
case, determine the power dissipation for the particular operating conditions. Be especially attentive to the power
rating issue regarding surface-mount resistors. The thermal environment in which surface-mount resistors
operate may be much different than a resistor exposed in free air.
The improved Howland current pump amplifier circuit relies on both negative and positive feedback for operation.
More negative feedback than positive feedback is used, but that does not always provide stability when the
output load characteristics are included. When unity-gain stable amplifiers such as the OPA462 are employed,
and they drive a resistive load, the amplifier phase margin should be sufficient so that the circuit is stable.
However, if the output load is complex, containing both resistive and reactive components (R±jX), certain
combinations degrade the phase margin to the point where instability results. Instability is even more evident
when this current pump is used to drive certain inductive loads.
When required, compensation is determined based on the particular circuit to which the OPA462 is being
applied. Amplifier stability and compensation is a vast subject covered in numerous TI documents, and TI training
programs, such as TI Precision Labs – Op Amps.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The OPA462 operates from power supplies up to ±90 V, or a total of 180 V, with excellent performance. Most
behavior remains unchanged throughout the full operating voltage range. A power-supply bypass capacitor of at
least 0.1 µF is required for proper operation. Make sure that the capacitor voltage rating is suitable for the high
voltage across the full operating temperature range. Parameters that vary significantly with operating voltage are
shown in the Typical Characteristics section.
Some applications do not require an equal positive and negative output voltage swing. Power-supply voltages do
not have to be equal. The OPA462 operates with as little as 12 V between the supplies, and with up to 180 V
between the supplies.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
10.1.1 Thermally-Enhanced PowerPAD™ Package
The OPA462 comes in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD package that provides an extremely low thermal resistance,
RθJC(bot), path between the die and the exterior of the package. This package features an exposed thermal pad
that has direct thermal contact with the die. Thus, excellent thermal performance is achieved by providing a good
thermal path away from the thermal pad.
The OPA462 SO-8 PowerPAD is a standard-size SO-8 package constructed using a downset leadframe upon
which the die is mounted, as Figure 67 shows. This arrangement results in the leadframe being exposed as a
thermal pad on the underside of the package. The thermal pad on the bottom of the device can then be soldered
directly to the PCB, using the PCB as a heat sink. In addition, plated-through holes (vias) provide a low thermal
resistance heat flow path to the back side of the PCB. This architecture enhances the OPA462 power dissipation
capability significantly, eliminates the use of bulky heat sinks and slugs traditionally used in thermal packages,
and allows the OPA462 to be easily mounted using standard PCB assembly techniques.
NOTE
The SO-8 PowerPAD is pin-compatible with standard SO-8 packages, and as such, the
OPA462 is a drop-in replacement for operational amplifiers in existing sockets. Always
solder the PowerPAD to the PCB V– plane, even with applications that have low power
dissipation. Solder the device to the PCB to provide the necessary thermal, mechanical,
and electrical connections between the leadframe die pad and the PCB.

Layout Guidelines (continued)
10.1.2 PowerPAD™ Integrated Circuit Package Layout Guidelines
The PowerPAD integrated circuit package allows for both assembly and thermal management in one
manufacturing operation. During the surface-mount solder operation (when the leads are being soldered), the
thermal pad must be soldered to a copper area underneath the package. Through the use of thermal paths within
this copper area, heat is conducted away from the package into either a ground plane or other heat-dissipating
device. Always solder the PowerPAD to the PCB, even with applications that have low power dissipation. Follow
these steps to attach the device to the PCB:
1. Connect the PowerPAD to the most negative supply voltage on the device, V–.
2. Prepare the PCB with a top-side etch pattern. There must be etching for the leads, as well as etching for the
thermal pad.
3. Thermal vias improve heat dissipation, but are not required. The thermal pad can connect to the PCB using
an area equal to the pad size with no vias, but externally connected to V–.
4. Place recommended holes in the area of the thermal pad. Recommended thermal land size and thermal via
patterns for the SO-8 DDA package are shown in the thermal land pattern mechanical drawing appended at
the end of this document. These holes must be 13 mils (0.013 in, or 0.3302 mm) in diameter. Keep the holes
small, so that solder wicking through the holes is not a problem during reflow. The minimum recommended
number of holes for the SO-8 PowerPAD package is five.
5. Additional vias can be placed anywhere along the thermal plane outside of the thermal pad area. These vias
help dissipate the heat generated by the OPA462 device. These additional vias may be larger than the 13mil diameter vias directly under the thermal pad because they are not in the thermal pad area to be soldered;
thus, wicking is not a problem.
6. Connect all holes to the internal power plane of the correct voltage potential, V–.
7. When connecting these holes to the plane, do not use the typical web or spoke via connection methodology.
Web connections have a high thermal resistance connection that is useful for slowing the heat transfer during
soldering operations, making the soldering of vias that have plane connections easier. In this application,
however, low thermal resistance is desired for the most efficient heat transfer. Therefore, the holes under the
OPA462 PowerPAD package must make the connections to the internal plane with a complete connection
around the entire circumference of the plated-through hole.
8. The top-side solder mask must leave the pins of the package and the thermal pad area exposed. The
bottom-side solder mask must cover the holes of the thermal pad area. This masking prevents solder from
being pulled away from the thermal pad area during the reflow process.
9. Apply solder paste to the exposed thermal pad area and all of the device pins.
10. With these preparatory steps in place, simply place the device in position, and run through the solder reflow
operation as with any standard surface-mount component.
This preparation results in a properly installed device. For detailed information on the PowerPAD package,
including thermal modeling considerations and repair procedures, see the PowerPAD™ Thermally Enhanced
Package application report.
10.1.3 Pin Leakage
When operating the OPA462 with high supply voltages, parasitic leakages may occur between the inputs and the
supplies. This effect is most noticeable at the noninverting input, +IN, when the input common-mode voltage is
high compared to the negative supply voltage, V–. To minimize this leakage, place guard tracing, driven at the
same voltage as the input signal, alongside the input signal traces and pins.

10.1.4 Thermal Protection
Figure 68 shows the thermal shutdown behavior of a socketed OPA462 that internally dissipates 1 W.
Unsoldered and in a socket, the RθJA of the DDA package is typically 128°C/W. With the socket at 25°C, the
output stage temperature rises to the shutdown temperature of 150°C, which triggers automatic thermal
shutdown of the device. The device remains in thermal shutdown (output is in a high-impedance state) until it
cools to 130°C where the device is again powered. This thermal protection hysteresis feature typically prevents
the amplifier from leaving the safe operating area, even with a direct short from the output to ground or either
supply. The absolute maximum specification is 180 V, and the OPA462 must not be allowed to exceed 180 V
under any condition. Failure as a result of breakdown, caused by spiking currents into inductive loads
(particularly with elevated supply voltage), is not prevented by the thermal protection architecture.
Figure 68. Thermal Shutdown
10.1.5 Power Dissipation
Power dissipation depends on power supply, signal, and load conditions. For dc signals, power dissipation is
equal to the product of the output current times the voltage across the conducting output transistor, PD = IL (VS –
VO). Power dissipation can be minimized by using the lowest possible power-supply voltage necessary to assure
the required output voltage swing.
For resistive loads, the maximum power dissipation occurs at a dc output voltage of one-half the power-supply
voltage. Dissipation with ac signals is lower because the root-mean square (RMS) value determines heating. The
Instruments, Power Amplifier Stress and Power Handling Limitations application bulletin explains how to
calculate or measure dissipation with unusual loads or signals.
The OPA462 can supply output currents of up to 45 mA. Supplying this level of current is common for op amps
operating from ±15-V supplies. However, with high supply voltages, internal power dissipation of the op amp can
be quite high. Relative to the package size, operation from a single power supply (or unbalanced power supplies)
can produce even greater power dissipation because a large voltage is impressed across the conducting output
transistor. Applications with high power dissipation may require a heat sink or a heat spreader.
10.1.6 Heat Dissipation
Power dissipated in the OPA462 causes the junction temperature to rise. For reliable operation, junction
temperature must be limited to 125°C, maximum. Maintaining a lower junction temperature always results in
higher reliability. Some applications require a heat sink to make sure that the maximum operating junction
temperature is not exceeded. Junction temperature can be determined according to Equation 4:
TJ = TA + PDRθJA
(4)
Package thermal resistance, RθJA , is affected by mounting techniques and environments. Poor air circulation and
use of sockets can significantly increase thermal resistance to the ambient environment. Many op amps placed
closely together also increase the surrounding temperature. Best thermal performance is achieved by soldering
the op amp onto a circuit board with wide printed circuit traces to allow greater conduction through the op amp
leads. Increasing circuit board copper area to approximately 0.5 in2 decreases thermal resistance; however,
minimal improvement occurs beyond 0.5 in2, as shown in Figure 69.
