DESCRIPTION
The PA07 is a high voltage, high output current operational
amplifier designed to drive resistive, inductive and capacitive
loads. For optimum linearity, especially at low levels, the
output stage is biased for class A/B operation using a ther-
mistor compensated base-emitter voltage multiplier circuit. A
thermal shutoff circuit protects against overheating and mini-
mizes heatsink requirements for abnormal operating condi-
tions. The safe operating area (SOA) can be observed for all
operating conditions by selection of user programmable cur-
rent limiting resistors. Both amplifiers are internally compen-
sated for all gain settings. For continuous operation under
load, a heatsink of proper rating is recommended.
This hybrid circuit utilizes thick film (cermet) resistors, ce-
ramic capacitors and semiconductor chips to maximize reli-
ability, minimize size and give top performance. Ultrasonically
bonded aluminum wires provide reliable interconnections at all
operating temperatures. The 8-pin TO-3 package is hermeti-
cally sealed and electrically isolated. The use of compressible
washers and/or improper mounting torque will void the product
warranty. Please see “General Operating Considerations”.

SEQUENTIAL POSITION CONTROL
Position is sensed by the differentially connected photo
diodes, a method that negates the time and temperature
variations of the optical components. Off center positions
produce an error current which is integrated by the op amp
circuit, driving the system back to center position. A momen-
tary switch contact forces the system out of lock and then the
integrating capacitor holds drive level while both diodes are in
a dark state. When the next index point arrives, the lead
network of C1 and R1 optimize system response by reducing
overshoot. The very low bias current of the PA07 augments
performance of the integrator circuit.

The specification of PA07A is identical to the specification for PA07 in applicable column to the left.
Long term operation at the maximum junction temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate internal power dissipation
to achieve high MTTF.
The power supply voltage for all specifications is the TYP rating unless otherwise noted as a test condition.

Please read Application Note 1 "General Operating Consid-
erations" which covers stability, supplies, heat sinking, mount-
ing, current limit, SOA interpretation, and specification inter-
pretation. Visit www.apexmicrotech.com for design tools that
help automate tasks such as calculations for stability, internal
power dissipation, current limit; heat sink selection; Apex’s

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
The output stage of most power amplifiers has three distinct
limitations:
1. The current handling capability of the wire bonds.
2. The second breakdown effect which occurs whenever the
simultaneous collector current and collector-emitter volt-
age exceed specified limits.
3. The junction temperature of the output transistors.
5.0
These simplified limits may be exceeded with further analysis
using the operating conditions for a specific application.
3. The output stage is protected against transient flyback.
However, for protection against sustained, high energy
flyback, external fast-recovery diodes should be used.

THERMAL SHUTDOWN PROTECTION
The thermal protection circuit shuts off the amplifier when
the substrate temperature exceeds approximately 150°C. This
allows heatsink selection to be based on normal operating
conditions while protecting the amplifier against excessive
junction temperature during temporary fault conditions.
Thermal protection is a fairly slow-acting circuit and there-
fore does not protect the amplifier against transient SOA
violations (areas outside of the T
C
= 25°C boundary). It is
designed to protect against short-term fault conditions that
result in high power dissipation within the amplifier. If the
conditions that cause thermal shutdown are not removed, the
amplifier will oscillate in and out of shutdown. This will result in
high peak power stresses, will destroy signal integrity and
reduce the reliability of the device.

SAFE OPERATING AREA CURVES
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. However, the
following guidelines may save extensive analytical efforts.
1. For DC outputs, especially those resulting from fault condi-
tions, check worst case stress levels against the new SOA
graph.
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.
PA07U REV. L FEBRUARY 2001
CURRENT LIMIT
Proper operation requires the use of two current limit resis-
tors, connected as shown in the external connections diagram.
The minimum value for R
CL
is .12Ω, 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.
