DESCRIPTION
The PA91 is a high voltage, low quiescent current MOS-
FET operational amplifier designed as a low cost solu-
tion for driving continuous output currents up to 200mA
and pulse currents up to 350mA. The safe operating
area (SOA) has no second breakdown limitations and
can be observed for all type loads by choosing an ap-
propriate current limiting resistor. The MOSFET output
stage is biased AB for linear operation. External com-
pensation provides flexibility in choosing bandwidth
and slew rate for the application. Apex Microtechnol-
ogy’s Power SIP package uses a minimum of board
space allowing for high density circuit boards. The 12-
pin PowerSIP package is electrically isolated.

LOW POWER, PIEZOELECTRIC POSITIONING
Piezo positioning may be applied to the focusing of seg-
mented mirror systems. The composite mirror may be
composed of hundreds of elements, each requiring focus-
ing under computer control. In such complex systems the
PA91 reduces the costs of power supplies and cooling
with its advantages of low cost and low quiescent power
consumption while increasing circuit density with the SIP
package.

Please read Application Note 1 "General Operating Considerations" which covers stability, supplies, heat sinking,
mounting, current limit, SOA interpretation, and specification interpretation. Visit www.apexanalog.com for design
tools that help automate tasks such as calculations for stability, internal power dissipation, current limit; heat sink
selection; Apex Microtechnology’s complete Application Notes library; Technical Seminar Workbook; and Evalua-
tion Kits.
CURRENT LIMIT
For proper operation, the current limit resistor (R
CL
) must be connected as shown in the external connection dia-
gram. For optimum reliability the resistor value should be set as high as possible. The value is calculated as follows;
with the maximum practical value of 32 ohms.

The MOSFET output stage of this power operational
amplifier has two distinct limitations:
1. The current handling capability of the MOSFET ge-
ometry 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.

either power supply rail should be avoided or protected against. Re-
versals or opens on the negative supply rail is known to induce input stage failure. Unidirectional transzorbs prevent
this, and it is desirable that they be both electrically and physically as close to the amplifier as possible.

STABILITY
The PA91 is externally compensated and performance can be tailored to the application. Use the graphs of small
signal response and power response as a guide. The compensation capacitor CC must be rated at 500V working
voltage. An NPO capacitor is recommended. The compensation network CCRC must be mounted closely to the
amplifier pins 4 and 5 to avoid spurious oscillation.
QUIESCENT CURRENT REDUCTION
When pin 3 (IQ) is shorted to pin 5 (CC2) the AB biasing of the output stage is disabled. This raises distortion since
the output stage is then class C biased, but reduces the quiescent current by 1mA for a power dissipation savings
of 0.4W. Pin 3 may be left open if not used.
