DESCRIPTION
The TPA02 and TPA02A are fast, high output
current operational amplifiers designed to drive
resistive or reactive loads. The common collector
output stage swings close to the supply rails and
is protected against inductive kickback by diodes
to the rails. The safe operating area (SOA) can
be selected by external current limiting resistors.
The output stage is biased for class A/B operation
to achieve low distortion. The amplifiers are
internally compensated but are not suitable for
use as unity gain followers.

POWER DELIVERY EFFICIENCY AND LOW DISTORTION
Due to the common collector output stage, these
amplifiers can deliver power with high efficiency
particularly for low voltage applications. In the
example application below the TPA02 delivers
power with high efficiency and due to the high
power bandwidth also low distortion.

Notes:
*Same as previous Model.
1. Long term operation at the maximum junction
temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate
internal power dissipation to achieve high MTTF.
2. The power supply voltage for all specifications is the
typical rating unless otherwise noted as a test
condition.
3. +V
s
and -V
s
denote the positive and negative supply rail
respectively. Total V
s
is measured from +V
s
to -V
s
.
4. Rating applies if the output current alternates between both
output transistors at a rate faster than 60Hz.
5. Exceeding CMV range can cause the output to latch.
6. Full temperature specifications are guaranteed but not
100% tested.
Caution: The internal substrate contains beryllia (BeO). Do not crush, break, machine or subject the substrate to temperatures
in excess of 850C.

CURRENT LIMIT
Proper operation requires the use of two current
limit resistors, connected as shown in the
external connections diagram. The minimum
value for R
CL
is 0.12 ohm, however for optimum
reliability it should be set as high as possible.
The SOA curves combine the effect of all limits for
this Power Op Amp. 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. The following guidelines may
save extensive analytical efforts:
1) Under transient conditions, capacitive and
dynamic* loads up to the following maximums are
safe:

DEVICE MOUNTING
The case (mounting flange) is electrically
isolated and should be mounted directly to a
heatsink with thermal compound. Screws with
Belville spring washers are recommended to
maintain positive clamping pressure on heatsink
mounting surfaces. Long periods of thermal
cycling can loosen mounting screws and
increase thermal resistance.
Since the case is electrically isolated (floating)
with respect to the internal circuits, it is
recommended to connect it to common or other
convenient AC ground potential.

•If the inductive load is driven near steady state
conditions, allowing the output voltage to drop
more than 8V below the supply rail with I
LIM
= 5A,
or 17V below the supply rail with I
LIM
= 2A while the
amplifier is current limiting, the inductor should be
capacitively coupled or the current limit must be
lowered to meet SOA criteria.
