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 complete Application Notes library, Technical Seminar Workbook and Evaluation Kits. PHASE COMPENSATION Open loop gain and phase shift both increase with increasing temperature. The PHASE COMPENSATION typical graph shows closed loop gain and phase compensation capacitor value relationships for four case temperatures. The curves are based on achieving a phase margin of 50. Calculate the highest case temperature for the application (maximum ambient temperature and highest internal power dissipation) before choosing the compensation. Keep in mind that when working with small values of compensation, parasitics may play a large role in performance of the finished circuit. The compensation capacitor must be rated for at least the total voltage applied to the amplifier and should be a temperature stable type such as NPO or COG. OTHER STABILITY CONCERNS There are two important concepts about closed loop gain when choosing compensation. They stem from the fact that while "gain" is the most commonly used term, (the feedback factor) is really what counts when designing for stability. 1. Gain must be calculated as a non-inverting circuit (equal input and feedback resistors can provide a signal gain of -1, but for calculating offset errors, noise, and stability, this is a gain of 2). 2. Including a feedback capacitor changes the feedback factor or gain of the circuit. Consider Rin=4.7k, Rf=47k for a gain of 11. Compensation of 4.7 to 6.8pF would be reasonable. Adding 33pF parallel to the 47k rolls off the circuit at 103kHz, and at 2MHz has reduced gain from 11 to roughly 1.5 and the circuit is likely to oscillate. As a general rule the DC summing junction impedance (parallel combination of the feedback resistor and all input resistors) should be limited to 5k ohms or less. The amplifier input capacitance of about 6pF, plus capacitance of connecting traces or wires and (if used) a socket will cause undesirable circuit performance and even oscillation if these resistances are too high. In circuits requiring high resistances, measure or estimate the total sum point capacitance, multiply by Rin/Rf, and parallel Rf with this value. Capacitors included for this purpose are usually in the single digit pF range. This technique results in equal feedback factor calculations for AC and DC cases. It does not produce a roll off, but merely keeps constant over a wide frequency range. Paragraph 6 of Application Note 19 details suitable stability tests for the finished circuit. CURRENT LIMIT For proper operation, the current limit resistor, Rcl, must be connected as shown in the external connection diagram. The minimum value is 3.9 ohms, however for optimum reliability, the resistor should be set as high as possible. The maximum practical value is 110 ohms. Current limit values can be predicted as follows: Ilimit = Vbe Rcl Where Vbe is shown in the CURRENT LIMIT typical graph. Note that +Vbe should be used to predict current through the +Vs pin, -Vbe for current through the -Vs pin, and that they vary with case temperature. Value of the current limit resistor at a case temperature of 25 can be estimated as follows: Rcl = 0.7 Ilimit When the amplifier is current limiting, there may be spurious oscillation present during the current limited portion of the negative half cycle. The frequency of the oscillation is not predictable and depends on the compensation, gain of the amplifier, value of the current limit resistor, and the load. The oscillation will cease as the amplifier comes out of current limit. SAFE OPERATING AREA The MOSFET output stage of the PA241 is not limited by second breakdown considerations as in bipolar output stages. However there are still three distinct limitations: 1. Voltage withstand capability of the transistors. 2. Current handling capability of the die metalization. 3. Temperature of the output MOSFETS. These limitations can be seen in the SOA (see Safe Operating Area graphs). Note that each pulse capability line shows a constant power level (unlike second breakdown limitations where power varies with voltage stress). These lines are shown for a case temperature of 25C and correspond to thermal resistances of 5.2C/W for the PA241CE and DF and 10.4C/W for the PA241DW respectively. Pulse stress levels for other case temperatures can be calculated in the same manner as DC power levels at different temperatures. The output stage is protected against transient flyback by the parasitic diodes of the output stage MOSFET structure. However, for protection against sustained high energy flyback external fast-recovery diodes must be used. HEATSINKING The PA241DF package has a large exposed integrated copper heatslug to which the monolithic amplifier is directly attached. The solder connection of the heatslug to a minimum of 1 square inch foil area on the printed circuit board will result in thermal performance of 25C/W junction to air rating of the PA241DF. Solder connection to an area of 1 to 2 square APEX MICROTECHNOLOGY CORPORATION * TELEPHONE (520) 690-8600 * FAX (520) 888-3329 * ORDERS (520) 690-8601 * EMAIL prodlit@apexmicrotech.com 5 PA241 OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS +Vs inches is recommended. This may be adequate heatsinking but the large number of variables involved suggest temperature measurements be made on the top of the package. Do not allow the temperature to exceed 85C. Q1 OUT Q2 -Vs -Vs Z2 FIGURE 1 +IN +Vs -IN Z1 OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION Although the PA241 can withstand differential input voltages up to 16V, in some applications additional external protection may be needed. Differential inputs exceeding 16V will be clipped by the protection circuitry. However, if more than a few milliamps of current is available from the overload source, the protection circuitry could be destroyed. For differential sources above 16V, adding series resistance limiting input current to 1mA will prevent damage. Alternatively, 1N4148 signal diodes connected anti-parallel across the input pins is usually sufficient. In more demanding applications where bias current is important, diode connected JFETs such as 2N4416 will be required. See Q1 and Q2 in Figure 1. In either case the differential input voltage will be clamped to 0.7V. This is sufficient overdrive to produce the maximum power bandwidth. In the case of inverting circuits where the +IN pin is grounded, the diodes mentioned above will also afford protection from excessive common mode voltage. In the case of non-inverting circuits, clamp diodes from each input to each supply will provide protection. Note that these diodes will have substantial reverse bias voltage under normal operation and diode leakage will produce errors. Some applications will also need over-voltage protection devices connected to the power supply rails. Unidirectional zener diode transient suppressors are recommended. The zeners clamp transients to voltages within the power supply rating and also clamp power supply reversals to ground. Whether the zeners are used or not the system power supply should be evaluated for transient performance including poweron overshoot and power-off polarity reversals as well as line regulation. See Z1 and Z2 in Figure 1.
