Power Operational Amplifiers
Features
General Description
The MP400FC combines a high voltage, high speed
precision power op amp with a supply voltage boost
function in an integrated thermally conductive module. The voltage boost function uses a switch mode
power supply (SMPS) to boost the input power supply
voltage. This allows the user the benefits of using his
standard 12 V or 24 V buss without the need to design a high voltage supply to power the op amp. The
SMPS voltage is adjustable from 50-350 V, allowing for
op amp output voltages up to 340 V. External phase
compensation provides the user with the flexibility to
tailor gain, slew rate and bandwidth for a specific application. The unique design of this amplifier provides
extremely high slew rates in pulse applications while
maintaining low quiescent current. The output stage is
well protected with a user defined current limit. Safe
Operating Area (SOA) must be observed for reliable
operation.

Description
Input voltage pins for the on board high voltage switch mode power supply.
Input voltage pin for the boost controller circuitry. This pin is typically tied to VIN
Drain node of the SMPS MOSFET switch. An external RC snubber may be connect from this
node to power ground to reduce or eliminate overshoot and ringing at switch turn off, reducing
switching noise on the SMPS.
This is the output of the high voltage SMPS and typically is tied to pin 6, LFIN. Other loads can
be added to this pin as long as the maximum output power of the SMPS is not exceeded. For
proper operation, an external high voltage, low ESR capacitor must be connected to this pin.
Refer to the paragraph titled “SMPS Output Capacitor”.
The high voltage SMPS, VB , is connected to this pin to power the MP400FC amplifier through a
47 µH filter inductor. The supply current in to this pin can not exceed 200 mA.
MP400FC amplifier high voltage supply pin. This pin is used for external supply bypass. A high
quality ceramic capacitor of at least 1uF should be used. The high voltage SMPS, VB, can be
connected directly to this pin, bypassing the 47 µH filter inductor.
SMPS voltage set resistor. A resistor is connected from this pin to power ground to set the SMPS
voltage.
Power ground. SMPS switching circuits are referenced to ground through these pins.
Analog ground for MP400FC amplifier circuits. AGND and PGND are connected at one point on
the MP400FC. Avoid external connections between AGND and PGND.
This pin is typically connected to AGND. However, an external negative supply voltage can be
connected to this pin.

Unused pins should be left open. This is mandatory for pins 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 16.
Typical Application
The MP400FC is ideally suited to driving both piezo actuation and deflection
applications off of a single low voltage supply. The circuit above boosts a
system 24 V buss to 350 V to drive an
ink jet print head. The MP400FCs high
speed deflection amplifier is biased for
single supply operation by external resistors R2 – R6, so that a 0 to 5 V DAC
can be used as the input to the amplifier
to drive the print head from 0 to >300 V.

GENERAL
Please read Application note 1 “General operating considerations” which covers stability, power 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, and current limit.
There you will also find a complete application notes library, technical seminar workbook, and evaluation kits.
Theory of Operation
The PA78 is designed specifically as a high speed pulse amplifier. In order to achieve high slew rates with low idle
current, the internal design is quite different from traditional voltage feedback amplifiers. Basic op amp behaviors
like high input impedance and high open loop gain still apply. But there are some notable differences, such as signal
dependent supply current, bandwidth and output impedance, among others. The impact of these differences varies
depending on application performance requirements and circumstances. These different behaviors are ideal for
some applications but can make designs more challenging in other circumstances.
Supply Current and Bypass Capacitance
A traditional voltage feedback amplifier relies on fixed current sources in each stage to drive the parasitic capacitances of the next stage. These currents combine to define the idle or quiescent current of the amplifier. By design,
these fixed currents are often the limiting parameter for slew rate and bandwidth of the amplifier. Amplifiers which
are high voltage and have fast slew rates typically have high idle currents and dissipate notable power with no signal applied to the load. At the heart of the PA78 design is a signal dependent current source which strikes a new
balance between supply current and dynamic performance. With small input signals, the supply current of the PA78
is very low, idling at less than 1 mA. With large transient input signals, the supply currents increase dramatically to
allow the amplifier stages to respond quickly. The Pulse Response plot in the typical performance section of this
datasheet describes the dynamic nature of the supply current with various input transients.
Choosing proper bypass capacitance requires careful consideration of the dynamic supply currents. High frequency
ceramic capacitors of 0.1 µF or more should be placed as close as possible to the amplifier supply pins. The inductance of the routing from the supply pins to these ceramic capacitors will limit the supply of peak current during
transients, thus reducing the slew rate of the PA78. The high frequency capacitance should be supplemented by
additional bypass capacitance not more than a few centimeters from the amplifier. This additional bypass can be
a slower capacitor technology, such as electrolytic, and is necessary to keep the supplies stable during sustained
output currents. Generally, a few microfarad is sufficient.
Small Signal Performance
The small signal performance plots in the typical performance section of this datasheet describe the behavior when
the dynamic current sources described previously are near the idle state. The selection of compensation capacitor
directly affects the open loop gain and phase performance.
Depending on the configuration of the amplifier, these plots show that the phase margin can diminish to very low
levels when left uncompensated. This is due to the amount of bias current in the input stage when the part is in
standby. An increase in the idle current in the output stage of the amplifier will improve phase margin for small signals although will increase the overall supply current.

Current can be injected into the output stage by adding a resistor, RBIAS, between CC- and VS+. The size of RBIAS will
depend upon the application but 500 µA (50 V V+ supply/100K) of added bias current shows significant improvement in the small signal phase plots. Adding this resistor has little to no impact on small signal gain or large signal
performance as under these conditions the current in the input stage is elevated over its idle value. It should also
be noted that connecting a resistor to the upper supply only injects a fixed current and if the upper supply is fixed
and well bypassed. If the application includes variable or adjustable supplies, a current source diode could also be
used. These two terminal components combine a JFET and resistor connected within the package to behave like
a current source.
As a second stability measure, the PA78 is externally compensated and performance can be optimized to the application. Unlike the RBIAS technique, external phase compensation maintains the low idle current but does affect
the large signal response of the amplifier. Refer to the small and large signal response plots as a guide in making
the tradeoffs between bandwidth and stability. Due to the unique design of the PA78, two symmetric compensation
networks are required. The compensation capacitor CC must be rated for a working voltage of the full operating
supply voltage (+VS to –VS). NPO capacitors are recommended to maintain the desired level of compensation over
temperature.
The PA78 requires an external 33 pF capacitor between CC- and -VS to prevent oscillations in the falling edge of the
output. This capacitor should be rated for the full supply voltage (+VS to -VS).
Large Signal Performance
As the amplitude of the input signal increases, the internal dynamic current sources increase the operation bandwidth of the amplifier. This unique performance is apparent in its slew rate, pulse response, and large signal performance plots. Recall the previous discussion about the relationships between signal amplitude, supply current, and
slew rate. As the amplitude of the input amplitude increases from 1 VP-P to 15 VP-P, the slew rate increases from 50
V/µs to well over 350 V/µs.
Notice the knee in the Rise and Fall times plot, at approximately 6 VP-P input voltage. Beyond this point the output
becomes clipped by the supply rails and the amplifier is no longer operating in a closed loop fashion. The rise and
fall times become faster as the dynamic current sources are providing maximum current for slewing. The result of
this amplifier architecture is that it slews fast, but allows good control of overshoot for large input signals. This can
be seen clearly in the large signal Transient Response plots.

Current Limit
For proper operation, the current limit resistor, RLIM, must be connected as shown in the external connections diagram. For maximum reliability and protection, the largest resistor value should be used. The maximum practical
value for RLIM is about 12 Ω. However, refer to the SOA curves for each package type to assist in selecting the optimum value for Rlim in the intended application. Current limit may not protect against short circuit conditions with
supply voltages over 200 V.

Layout Considerations
The PA78 is built on a dielectrically isolated process and the package tab is therefore not electrically connected
to the amplifier. For high speed operation, the package tab should be connected to a stable reference to reduce
capacitive coupling between amplifier nodes and the floating tab. It is often convenient to directly connect the tab
to GND or one of the supply rails, but an AC connection through a 1µF capacitor to GND is also sufficient if a DC
connection is undesirable
Care should be taken to position the RC / CC compensation networks close

to the amplifier compensation pins. Long loops in these paths pick up noise 100000
and increase the likelihood of LC interactions and oscillations.

The MP400FC is designed to operate off of a standard voltage rail. Typical values include 12 V, 24 V, or 48 V. The addition of the on-board SMPS
eliminates the need to design or purchase a high voltage power supply. The
only inputs required by the SMPS are the VIN source. Input and output filter
capacitor, and boost voltage set resistor (RSET).
The SMPS output can be adjusted between a minimum of 50 V to a maximum of 350 V. The voltage boost adjustment is independent of VIN. Adjustment to the boost level is made through a resistor from the RSET pin to
ground. The resistor value is:

2) RSET = 1K (1066 by equation)
If RSET is open, VBOOST will be 50 V. If RSET is shorted to ground VBOOST will be limited to 350 V.
Note that while the MP400 SMPS generates a positive voltage from 50 V to 350 V, the amplifier may operate from
a variety of supply voltages. Symmetric, asymmetrical and single supply configurations can be used so long as the
total supply voltage from +VS to -VS does not exceed 350 V. The amplifier performance graphs in this datasheet
include some plots taken with symmetrical supplies, but those plots generally apply to all supply configurations.
SMPS Output Capacitor
An external SMPS output filter capacitor is required for proper operation. ESR considerations prevail in the choice
of the output filter capacitor. Select the highest value capacitor that meets the following ESR requirement. The
minimum value for CBOOST is 100 µF.

SMPS Input Capacitor
An external input capacitor is required. This capacitor should be at least 100 µF.
Thermal Considerations
For reliable operation the MP400FC will require a heatsink for most applications. When choosing the heatsink the
power dissipation in the op amp and the SMPS MOSFET switch (Q2) are both considered. The power dissipation of
the op amp is determined in the same manner as any power op amp. The power dissipation of the MOSFET switch
(Q2) is the sum of the power dissipation due to conduction and the switching power.
