DESCRIPTION
The OPA512 is a high voltage, very-high current
operational amplifier designed to drive a wide variety
of resistive and reactive loads. Its complementary
class A/B output stage provides superior performance
in applications requiring freedom from cross-over
distortion. User-set current limit circuitry provides
protection to the amplifier and load in fault conditions.
A resistor-programmable voltage-current limiter
circuit may be used to further protect the amplifier
from damaging conditions.

TEST PIN DRIVER
The OPA512 employs a laser-trimmed monolithic
integrated circuit to bias the output transistors, providing excellent low-level signal fidelity and high output
voltage swing. The reduced internal parts count made
possible with this monolithic IC improves performance and reliability.
This hybrid integrated circuit is housed in a hermetic
TO-3 package and all circuitry is electrically-isolated
from the case. This allows direct mounting to a chassis
or heat sink without cumbersome insulating hardware
and provides optimum heat transfer.

Output Current (A)
Specifications for the OPA512 are based on a nominal
operating voltage of ±40V. A single power supply or unbalanced supplies may be used as long as the maximum total
operating voltage (total of +VS and –VS) is not greater than
90V (100V for OPA512SM model.)
CURRENT LIMITS
Current limit resistors must be provided for proper operation. Independent positive and negative current limit values
may be selected by choice of RCL+ and RCL–, respectively.

FIGURE 1. Safe Operating Area.
This is the nominal current limit value at room temperature.
The maximum output current decreases at high temperature
as shown in the typical performance curve. Most wirewound resistors are satisfactory, but some highly inductive
types may cause loop stability problems. Be sure to evaluate
performance with the actual resistors to be used in production.
under normal load conditions. Sensing both the output current and the output voltage, this limiter circuit increases the
current limit value as the output voltage approaches the
power supply voltage (where power dissipation is low.) This
type of limiting is achieved by connecting pin 7 through a
programming resistor to ground. The V-I limiter circuit is
governed by the equation:
HEAT SINKING
Power amplifiers are rated by case temperature (not ambient
temperature.) The maximum allowable power dissipation is
a function of the case temperature as shown in the power
derating curve. Load characteristics, signal conditions, and
power supply voltage determine the power dissipated by the
amplifier. The case temperature will be determined by the
heat sinking conditions. Sufficient heat sinking must be
provided to keep the case temperature within safe bounds
given the power dissipated and ambient temperature. See
Application Bulletin AB-038 for further details.

ILIMIT =
0.28 VO

RCL + 0.007
where:
ILIMIT is the maximum current available at a given output
voltage.
RVI is the value (kΩ) of the resistor from pin 7 to ground.
RCL is the current limit resistor in ohms.
VO is the instantaneous output voltage in volts.
SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
Reactive or EMF-generating loads may produce unusual
(perhaps undesirable) waveforms with the V-I limit circuit
driven into limit. Since current peaks in a reactive load do
not align with the output voltage peaks, the output waveform
will not appear as a simple voltage-limited waveform.
Response of the load to the limiter, in fact, may produce a
“backfire” reaction producing unusual output waveforms.
The safe area plot provides a comprehensive summary of the
power handling limitations of a power amplifier, including
maximum current, voltage and power as well as the secondary breakdown region (see Figure 1) It shows the allowable
output current as a function of the power supply to output
voltage differential (voltage across the conducting power
device.) See Application Bulletin AB-039 for details on
SOA.
VOLTAGE-CURRENT LIMITER CIRCUITRY
The voltage-current (V-I) limiter circuit provides a means to
protect the amplifier from SOA damage such as a short
circuit to ground, yet allows high output currents to flow
