DESCRIPTION
The PA90 is a high voltage, low quiescent current
MOSFET operational amplifier designed as a low cost
solution for driving continuous output currents up to
200mA and pulse currents up to 350mA. The safe oper-
ating area (SOA) has no second breakdown limitations
and can be observed for all type loads by choosing
an appropriate current limiting resistor. The MOSFET
output stage is biased AB for linear operation. Exter-
nal compensation provides flexibility in choosing band-
width and slew rate for the application. Apex Precision
Power’s Power SIP package uses a minimum of board
space allowing for high density circuit boards. The 12-
pin PowerSIP package is electrically isolated.

NOTES: 1. (All Min/Max characteristics and specifications are guaranteed over the Specified Operating Condi-
tions. Typical performance characteristics and specifications are derived from measurements taken
at typical supply voltages and T
C
= 25°C).
2. Long term operation at the maximum junction temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate
power dissipation to achieve high MTTF.
3. +V

LOW POWER, PIEZOELECTRIC POSITIONING
Piezo positioning may be applied to the focusing of segment-
ed mirror systems. The composite mirror may be composed
of hundreds of elements, each requiring focusing under com-
puter control. In such complex systems the PA90 reduces
the costs of power supplies and cooling with its advantages
of low cost and low quiescent power consumption while in-
creasing circuit density with the SIP package.

GENERAL
Please read Application Note 1 "General Operating Considerations" which covers stability, supplies, heat sinking,
mounting, current limit, SOA interpretation, and specification interpretation. Visit www.cirrus.com for design tools
that help automate tasks such as calculations for stability, internal power dissipation, current limit; heat sink selec-
tion; Apex Precision Power’s complete Application Notes library; Technical Seminar Workbook; and Evaluation Kits.
CURRENT LIMIT
For proper operation, the current limit resistor (R
CL
) must be connected as shown in the external connection dia-
gram. For optimum reliability the resistor value should be set as high as possible. The value is calculated as fol-
lows; with the maximum practical value of 32 ohms.

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
The MOSFET output stage of this power operational amplifier has two distinct limitations:
1. The current handling capability of the MOSFET geometry and the wire bonds.
2. The junction temperature of the output MOSFETs.
NOTE: The output stage is protected against transient flyback. However, for protection against sustained, high en-
ergy flyback, external fast-recovery diodes should be used.

INPUT PROTECTION
Although the PA90 can withstand differential voltages up
to ±20V, additional external protection is recommended.
Low leakage, low capacitance JFETs connected as di-
odes are recommended (e.g. 2N4416, Q1-Q4 in Fig-
ure 2). The differential input voltage will be clamped to
±1.4V. This is sufficient overdrive to produce maximum
power bandwidth.

QUIESCENT CURRENT REDUCTION
When pin 3 (I
Q
) is shorted to pin 5 (CC2) the AB biasing of the output stage is disabled. This raises distortion since
the output stage is then class C biased, but reduces the quiescent current by 1mA for a power dissipation savings
of 0.4W. Pin 3 may be left open if not used.
