DESCRIPTION:
The MSK 186 is a dual high power operational amplifier ideal for use with a wide variety of loads. With operation
from either single or dual supplies, it offers excellent design flexibility. Power dissipation is kept to a minimum with a
quiescent current rating of only 26mA per amplifier, while 8 Amps of continuous available output current makes it a
very good low cost choice for motor drive circuits and audio amplification. The design is internally protected against
current overloads and overtemperature conditions. The current limit can also be user-selected through the use of a
resistor/potentiometer or voltage out/current out DAC. The MSK 186 is packaged in a hermetically sealed, isolated 18
pin power DIP with bolt down tabs for applications that require heat sinking.

APPLICATION NOTES
POWER SUPPLIES:
For the MSK 186 maximum total supply voltage is specified
as 60V. However, dual and unbalanced power supply operation
is permissible as long as total supply voltage does not exceed
60V.
THERMAL PROTECTION:
The amplifiers are equipped with thermal protection circuitry
that protects each amplifier from damage caused by excessive
junction temperature. The output is disabled when the junction
temperature reaches approximately 160°C. After the junction
temperature cools to approximately 140°C, the output is again
enabled. The thermal protection may cycle on and off depend-
ing on the output load and signal conditions; this may have an
undesirable effect on the load.
It should be noted that even though this internal protection
circuitry does protect against overload conditions, it does not
take the place of proper heat sinking. For reliable operation,
junction temperature should be limited to 150°C, maximum.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING:
Power supply terminals must be effectively decoupled with a
high and low frequency bypass circuit to avoid power supply
induced oscillation. An effective decoupling scheme consists
of a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 10µF tantalum
capacitor for each power supply pin to ground. In addition, it is
recommended that a 0.01µF capacitor be placed between ±Vcc
as close to the amplifiers as possible.
ENABLE/STATUS PIN:
For the MSK 186 this pin actually has a dual function. First,
when the pin is forced low, the output stage is disabled. Sec-
ond, it can be monitored to determine if the device is in thermal
shutdown. These functions can be used on the same device
with either single or dual supplies. For normal operation, the
E/S pin must be left open or pulled at least 2.4 volts above the
VR
pin. In noisy applications, a small value capacitor between
the E/S pin and VR may be required.
To disable the output, the user must pull the E/S pin low, no
greater than 0.8V above VR. To once again enable the device,
the E/S pin must be brought at least 2.4 volts above VR or be
disconnected. It should be noted that when the E/S pin is high,
the internal thermal shutdown is still active.
If the E/S pin is used to monitor thermal shutdown, during
normal operation the voltage on the E/S pin is typically 3.5V
above VR. Once shutdown has occurred this voltage will drop
to approximately 350mV above VR.
CURRENT LIMIT:
The MSK 186 offers accurate, user-selectable current limit.
Unlike typical designs that use a power resistor in series with
the output to sense load, the MSK 186 senses the load indi-
rectly and therefore does not require a resistor to handle the full
output current. Current limit is selected by controlling the input
to the I
LIM
pin (0 to 633µA).
The easiest method is to use a resistor or potentiometer
connected between VR and the I
LIM
pin. Use the following equa-
tion to select proper resistor value:
R
CL
= 75,000 -7.5KΩ
I
LIM
A low level control signal (0-633µA) can also be used to con-
trol the current level digitally. If the pin is left open, the current
is programmed to OA, while connecting I
LIM
directly to VR sets
the output current to it's maximum, typically 10A.
SAFE OPERATING AREA:
The safe operating area curve is a graphical representation of
the power handling capability of the amplifier under various
conditions. Power dissipation of the device is equal to the prod-
uct of the voltage across the output transistor times the output
current. As can be seen in the curve on page 5, safe operating
current decreases with an increase in temperature as well as an
increase in the voltage across the output transistor. Therefore,
for maximum amplifier performance it is important to keep case
temperature as low as possible and to keep ±Vcc as close to
the output rail as achievable.
VR PIN
The MSK 186 features a reference (VR) pin to which the I
LIM
and the E/S pin are referred. VR simply provides a reference
point accessible to the user that can be set to V-, ground, or
any reference of the user's choice. VR cannot be set below the
negative supply or above (V+)-8V. If the minimum V
S
is used,
VR must be set at V-.
COMPENSATION:
For normal operation output compensation is not typically
required. However, if the MSK 186 is intended to be driven into
current limit the user may find that an R/C network is required.
A snubber network from the output to ground for each ampli-
fier will provide stability. If driving large capacitive or inductive
loads, a snubber network will also enhance stability. Typically
3Ω to 10Ω in series with 0.01µF is acceptable.
