November 1994
LM759/LM77000
Power Operational Amplifiers
General Description
The LM759 and LM77000 are high performance operational
amplifiers that feature high output current capability. The
LM759 is capable of providing 325 mA and the LM77000
providing 250 mA. Both amplifiers feature small signal char-
acteristics that are better than the LM741. The amplifiers
are designed to operate from a single or dual power supply
with an input common mode range that includes the nega-
tive supply. The high gain and high output power provide
superior performance. Internal current limiting, thermal shut-
down, and safe area compensation are employed making
the LM759 and LM77000 essentially indestructible.

Note 1: Although the internal power dissipation is limited, the junction temperature must be kept below the maximum specified temperature in order to meet data
sheet specifications. To calculate the maximum junction temperature or heat sink required, use the thermal resistance values which follow the Equivalent Circuit
Schematic.
Note 2: For a supply voltage less than 30V between Vaand Vb, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
Note 3: For military electrical specifications RETS759X are available for LM759H.

Mounting Hints
Metal Can Package (LM759CH/LM759MH)
The LM759 in the 8-Lead TO-99 metal can package must
be used with a heat sink. With g15V power supplies, the
LM759 can dissipate up to 540 mW in its quiescent (no
load) state. This would result in a 100§C rise in chip temper-
ature to 125§C (assuming a 25§C ambient temperature). In
order to avoid this problem, it is advisable to use either a slip
on or stud mount heat sink with this package. If a stud
mount heat sink is used, it may be necessary to use insulat-
ing washers between the stud and the chassis because the
case of the LM759 is internally connected to the negative
power supply terminal.
Plastic Package (LM759CP/LM77000CP)
The LM759CP and LM77000CP are designed to be at-
tached by the tab to a heat sink. This heat sink can be either
one of the many heat sinks which are commercially avail-
able, a piece of metal such as the equipment chassis, or a
suitable amount of copper foil as on a double sided PC
board. The important thing to remember is that the negative
power supply connection to the op amp must be made
through the tab. Furthermore, adequate heat sinking must
be provided to keep the chip temperature below 125§C un-
der worst case load and ambient temperature conditions.
