DESCRIPTION
The PA01 and PA73 are high voltage, high output current
operational amplifiers designed to drive resistive, inductive
and capacitive loads. For optimum linearity, the PA01 has a
class A/B output stage. The PA73 has a simple class C output
stage (see Note 1) to reduce cost for motor control and other
applications where crossover distortion is not critical and to
provide interchangeability with type 3573 amplifiers. The
safe operating area (SOA) can be observed for all operating
conditions by selection of user programmable current limit
resistors. These amplifiers are internally compensated for all
gain settings. For continuous operation under load, a heatsink
of proper rating is recommended.
This hybrid integrated circuit utilizes thick film (cermet)
resistors, ceramic capacitors and semiconductor chips to
maximize reliability, minimize size and give top performance.
Ultrasonically bonded aluminum wires provide reliable inter-
connections at all operating temperatures. The 8-pin TO-3
package is hermetically sealed and electrically isolated. The
use of compressible thermal washers and/or improper mount-
ing torque will void the product warranty. Please see “General
Operating Considerations”.

Unidirectional Optical Speed Control
The pulse output of a non-contact optical sensor drives a
voltage-to-frequency converter which generates feedback for
the op amp. With the loop closed in this manner, the op amp
corrects for any variations in the speed due to changing load.
Because of operation in only one direction, an unsymmetrical
supply is used to maximize efficiency of both power op amp
and power supply. High speed diodes at the input protect the
op amp from commutator noise which may be generated by
the motor.

OPERATING
CONSIDERATIONS
PA01 • PA73
1. For sine wave outputs, use Power Design
1
to plot a load
line. Make sure the load line does not cross the 0.5ms limit
and that excursions beyond any other second breakdown
line do not exceed the time label, and have a duty cycle of
no more than 10%.
For other waveform outputs, manual load line plotting
is recommended. Applications Note 22, SOA AND LOAD
LINES, will be helpful. A Spice type analysis can be very
useful in that a hardware setup often calls for instruments
or amplifiers with wide common mode rejection ranges.
2. EMF generating or reactive load and short circuits to the
supply rail or shorts to common are safe if the current limits
are set as follows at T
C
= 85°C.

GENERAL
Please read Application Note 1 "General Operating Con-
siderations" which covers stability, supplies, heat sinking,
mounting, current limit, SOA interpretation, and specification
interpretation. Visit www.apexmicrotech.com for design tools
that help automate tasks such as calculations for stability, in-
ternal power dissipation, current limit and heat sink selection.
The "Application Notes" and "Technical Seminar" sections
contain a wealth of information on specific types of applications.
Package outlines, heat sinks, mounting hardware and other
accessories are located in the "Packages and Accessories"
section. Evaluation Kits are available for most Apex product
models, consult the "Evaluation Kit" section for details. For
the most current version of all Apex product data sheets, visit
www.apexmicrotech.com.
SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
The output stage of most power amplifiers has three distinct
limitations:
1. The current handling capability of the transistor geometry
and the wire bonds.
2. The second breakdown effect which occurs whenever the
simultaneous collector current and collector-emitter voltage
exceeds specified limits.
3. The junction temperature of the output transistors.

3. The output stage is protected against occaisional transient
flyback. However, for protection against sustained, high
energy flyback, external fast-recovery diodes should be
used.
CURRENT LIMIT
Proper operation requires the use of two current limit resis-
tors, connected as shown, in the external connection diagram.
The minimum value for R
CL
is 0.12 ohm; however, for optimum
reliability it should be set as high as possible. Refer to the
“General Operating Considerations” section of the handbook
for current limit adjust details.

The SOA curves combine the effect of these limits. For a
given application, the direction and magnitude of the output
current should be calculated or measured and checked against
the SOA curves. This is simple for resistive loads but more
complex for reactive and EMF generating loads.
