Their complementary common emitter output stage is the simple class C type optimized for low frequency applications where crossover distortion is not critical. These amplifiers are not recommended for audio, transducer or deflection coil drive circuits. 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. Do not use isolation washers! This hybrid integrated 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 will void the product warranty. Please see "General Operating Considerations". The linear relationship of torque output to current input of the modern torque motor makes this simple control circuit ideal for many material processing and testing applications. The sense resistor develops a feedback voltage proportional to motor current and the small signal properties of the Power Op Amp insure accuracy. With this closed loop operation, temperature induced impedance variations of the motor winding are automatically compensated.

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 specified under the TYP rating applies 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. Full temperature range 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.

Visit www.apexmicrotech.com for design tools that help automate tasks such as calculations for stability, internal power dissipation, current limit and heat sink selection. The "Application Notes" and "Technical Seminar" sections contain a wealth of information on specific types of applications. Package outlines, heat sinks, mounting hardware and other accessories are located in the "Packages and Accessories" section. Evaluation Kits are available for most Apex product models, consult the "Evaluation Kit" section for details. For the most current version of all Apex product data sheets, visit www.apexmicrotech.com. SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA) The output stage of most power amplifiers has three 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 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 maximums are safe: VS 40V 35V 30V 25V 20V 15V CAPACITIVE LOAD INDUCTIVE LOAD ILIM = 5A 400F 800F 1,600F 5.0mF 10mF 20mF ILIM = 5A 11mH 20mH 35mH 50mH 400mH ** ILIM = 10A 200F 400F 800F 2.5mF 5.0mF 10mF ILIM = 10A 4.3mH 5.0mH 6.2mH 15mH 20mH 100mH * 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 = 85C. VS 45V 40V 35V 30V 25V 20V 15V SHORT TO VS C, L, OR EMF LOAD 0.1A 0.2A 0.3A 0.5A 1.2A 1.5A 2.0A SHORT TO COMMON 1.3A 1.5A 1.6A 2.0A 2.4A 3.0A 4.0A 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. 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 .06 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. This data sheet has been carefullyCORPORATION checked and is believed to be NORTH reliable, however, no responsibility is assumed for possible inaccuracies omissions.
