TYPICAL APPLICATION
The high power bandwidth and high voltage output of the
PA04 allows driving sonar transducers via a resonant circuit
including the transducer and a matching transformer. The load
circuit appears resistive to the PA04. Control logic turns off the
amplifier in sleep mode.

DESCRIPTION
The PA04 is a high voltage MOSFET power operational
amplifier that extends the performance limits of power ampli-
fiers in slew rate and power bandwidth, while maintaining high
current and power dissipation ratings.
The PA04 is a highly flexible amplifier. The sleep mode
feature allows ultra-low quiescent current for standby opera-
tion or load protection by disabling the entire amplifier. Boost
voltage inputs allow the small signal portion of the amplifier to
operate at a higher voltage than the high current output stage.
The amplifier is then biased to achieve close linear swings to
the supply rails at high currents for extra efficient operation.
External compensation tailors performance to user needs. A
four wire sense technique allows precision current limiting
without the need to consider internal or external milliohm
parasitic resistance in the output line.
The JEDEC MO-127 12-pin Power DipTM package (see
Package Outlines) is hermetically sealed and isolated from the
internal circuits. The use of compressible thermal washers will
void product warranty.

2.
Long term operation at the maximum junction temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate internal power dissipation
to achieve high MTTF. For guidance, refer to the heatsink data sheet.
3.
Rating applies if the output current alternates between both output transistors at a rate faster than 60 Hz.
4.
The PA04 must be used with a heatsink or the quiescent power may drive the unit to junction temperatures higher than 150
C.
The PA04 is constructed from MOSFET transistors. ESD handling procedures must be observed.
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.

OPERATING
CONSIDERATIONS
PA04 PA04A
GENERAL
Please read the "General Operating Considerations" sec-
tion, which covers stability, supplies, heatsinking, mounting,
current limit, SOA interpretation, and specification interpreta-
tion. Additional information can be found in the application
notes. For information on the package outline, heatsinks, and
mounting hardware, consult the "Accessory and Package
Mechanical Data" section of the handbook. The EK04 Evalu-
ation Kit makes prototype circuits a snap by providing an
EK04PC proto circuit board, MS05 mating socket, HS11
heatsink and hardware kit.
CURRENT LIMIT
The two current limit sense lines are to be connected directly
across the current limit sense resistor. For the current limit to
work correctly pin 11 must be connected to the amplifier
output side and pin 10 connected to the load side of the
current limit resistor, R
CL
, as shown in Figure 1. This
connection will bypass any parasitic resistances, Rp, formed
by sockets and solder joints as well as internal amplifier losses.
The current limiting resistor may not be placed anywhere in the
output circuit except where shown in Figure 1.
The value of the current limit resistor can be calculated as
follows:
.76
R
CL
=
I
LIMIT
SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
The MOSFET output stage of this power operational ampli-
fier has two distinct limitations:
1. The current handling capability of the MOSFET geometry
and the wire bonds.
2. The junction temperature of the output MOSFETs.
NOTE:
The output stage is protected against transient flyback.
However, for protection against sustained, high energy
flyback, external fast-recovery diodes should be used.
SLEEP MODE OPERATION
In the sleep mode, pin 12 (sleep) is tied to pin 9 (+V
BOOST
).
This disables the amplifier's internal reference and the ampli-
fier shuts down except for a trickle current of 3 mA which flows
into pin 12. Pin 12 should be left open if the sleep mode is not
required.
Several possible circuits can be built to take advantage of
this mode. In Figure 2A a small signal relay is driven by a logic
gate. This removes the requirement to deal with the common
mode voltage that exists on the shutoff circuitry since the sleep
mode is referenced to the +V
BOOST
voltage.
In Figure 2B, circuitry is used to level translate the sleep
mode input signal. The differential input activates sleep mode
with a differential logic level signal and allows common mode
voltages to
V
BOOST
.
BOOST OPERATION
With the V
BOOST
feature the small signal stages of the
amplifier are operated at higher supply voltages than the
amplifier's high current output stage. +V
BOOST
(pin 9) and
V
BOOST
(pin 5) are connected to the small signal circuitry of the
amplifier. +V
S
(pin 8) and V
S
(pin 6) are connected to the high
current output stage. An additional 5V on the V
BOOST
pins is
sufficient to allow the small signal stages to drive the output
transistors into saturation and improve the output voltage
swing for extra efficient operation when required. When close
swings to the supply rails is not required the +V
BOOST
and +V
S
pins must be strapped together as well as the V
BOOST
and V
S
pins. The boost voltage pins must not be at a voltage lower than
the V
S
pins.
COMPENSATION
The external compensation components C
C
and R
C
are
connected to pins 3 and 4. Unity gain stability can be achieved
at any compensation capacitance greater than 330 pF with at
least 60 degrees of phase margin. At higher gains more phase
shift can be tolerated in most designs and the compensation
capacitance can accordingly be reduced, resulting in higher
bandwidth and slew rate. Use the typical operating curves as
a guide to select C
C
and R
C
for the application.
