DESCRIPTION
The PA61 and PA61A are high output current operational
amplifiers designed to drive resistive, inductive and capacitive loads. Their complementary emitter follower output stage
is the simple class C type and optimized for low frequency
applications where crossover distortion is not critical. These
amplifiers are not recommended for audio, transducer or
deflection coil drive circuits above 1kHz or when distortion is
critical. The safe operating area (SOA) is fully specified and
can be observed for all operating conditions by selection of
user programmable current limiting resistors. Both amplifiers
are internally compensated for all gain settings. For continuous operation under load, mounting on a heatsink of proper
rating is recommended.
This hybrid circuit utilizes thick film conductors, 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 electrically isolated and hermetically sealed. The use of compressible thermal washers and/or improper mounting torque
voids the product warranty. Please see “General Operating
Considerations”.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
Due to its high current drive capability, PA61 applications
often utilize remote sensing to compensate IR drops in the wiring. The importance of remote sensing increases as accuracy
requirements, output currents, and distance between amplifier and load go up. The circuit above shows wire resistance
from the PA61 to the load and back to the local ground via
the power return line. Without remote sensing, a 7.5A load
current across only 0.05 ohm in each line would produce a
0.75V error at the load.
With the addition of the second ratio matched RF/RIN pair
and two low current sense wires, IR drops in the power return
line become common mode voltages for which the op amp
has a very high rejection ratio. Voltage drops in the output and
power return wires are inside the feedback loop. Therefore, as
long as the Power Op Amp has the voltage drive capability to
overcome the IR losses, accuracy remains the same. Application Note 7 presents a general discussion of PPS circuits.

NOTES: * The specification of PA61A is identical to the specification for PA61 in applicable column to the left.
1. 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 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.
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 850°C to avoid generating toxic fumes.

The output stage of most power amplifiers has 3 distinct
limitations:
1. The current handling capability of the transistor geometry
and the wire bonds.
2. The second breakdown effect which occurs whenever the
simultaneous collector current and collector-emitter voltage
exceeds specified limits.
3. The junction temperature of the output transistors.

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 calculated 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* inductive loads up to the following maximum are safe:

**

* 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 = 10A or 15V below the supply rail with
ILIM = 5A while the amplifier is current limiting, the inductor
should be capacitively coupled or the current limit must be
lowered to meet SOA criteria.
** Second breakdown effect imposes no limitation but thermal
limitations must still be observed.
2. The amplifier can handle any EMF generating or reactive
load and short circuits to the supply rail or shorts to common
if the current limits are set as follows at TC=85°C.
SHORT TO VS ±
SHORT TO
C, L, OR EMF LOAD

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.
