Their complementary "collector output" stage can swing close to the supply rails and is protected against inductive kickback. For optimum linearity, the output stage is biased for class A/B operation. The safe operating area (SOA) can be observed for all operating conditions by selection of user programmable, current limiting resistors (down to 10mA). Both amplifiers are internally compensated but are not recommended for use as unity gain followers. For continuous operation under load, mounting on a heatsink of proper rating is recommended. These hybrid integrated circuits utilize thick film (cermet) resistors, ceramic capacitors and semiconductor chips to maximize reliability, minimize size and give top performance. Ultrasonically bonded aluminum wires provide reliable interconnections at all operating temperatures. The 8-pin TO-3 package is hermetically sealed and electrically isolated. Isolation washers are not recommended. The use of compressible thermal washers and/or improper mounting torque will void the product warranty. Please see "General Operating Considerations". LOW INTERNAL LOSS MAXIMIZES EFFICIENCY When system voltages are low and power is at a premium, the PA02 is a natural choice. The circuit above utilizes not only the feature of low internal loss of the PA02, but also its very low distortion level to implement a crystal clear audio amplifier suitable even for airborne applications. This circuit uses AC coupling of both the input signal and the gain circuit to render DC voltage across the speaker insignificant. The resistor and capacitor across the inputs form a stability enhancement network. The 0.27 ohm current limit resistors provide protection in the event of an output short circuit.

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 TYP rating unless otherwise noted as a test condition. 3. +VS and -VS denote the positive and negative supply rail respectively. Total VS is measured from +VS to -VS. 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 break the seal. If accidentally broken, do not crush, machine, or subject to temperatures in excess of 850C to avoid generating toxic fumes.

SAFE OPERATING AREA * If the inductive load is driven near steady state conditions, allowing the output voltage to drop more than 8V below the supply rail with ILIM = 5A, or 17V below the supply rail with ILIM = 2A while the amplifier is current limiting, the inductor should be capacitively coupled or the current limit must be lowered to meet SOA criteria. 2. The amplifier can handle any EMF generating or reactive load and short circuits to the supply rails or shorts to common if the current limits are set as follows at TC = 85C. SHORT TO VS SHORT TO C, L OR EMF LOAD COMMON VS 18V .5A 1.7A 15V .7A 2.8A 10V 1.6A 4.2A These simplified limits may be exceeded with further analysis using the operating conditions for a specific application. CURRENT LIMIT Proper operation requires the use of two current limit resistors, connected as shown in the external connection diagram. The minimum value for RCL 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. DEVICE MOUNTING 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 cal culated 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: CAPACITIVE LOAD INDUCTIVE LOAD VS ILIM = 2A ILIM = 5A ILIM = 2A ILIM = 5A 18V 2mF 0.7mF .2H 10mH 15V 10mF 2.2mF .7H 25mH 10V 25mF 10mF 5H 50mH GENERAL 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. This data sheet has been carefullyCORPORATION checked and is believed to be NORTH reliable, however, no responsibility is assumed for possible inaccuracies omissions.
