PA35
DESCRIPTION
The PA35 consists of a monolithic power op amp with a
unity gain buffer in a 7-pin TO220 package. The 7-pin TO220
flat back heat tab allows for heat sinking with an electrically
insulating thermal washer. The tab of the 7-pin TO220 plastic
package is tied to -V
s
.
Combining the power amp and the unity gain buffer in
a parallel connection yields a single 3.4A amplifier. The
wide common mode input range includes the negative
rail, facilitating single supply applications. It is possible
to have a "ground based" input driving a single supply
amplifier with ground acting as the "second" or "bottom"
supply of the amplifier.
The Safe Operating Area (SOA) must be observed when
determining the effect of all limits for the PA35 power op
amp. Proper heat sinking is required for maximum reliability
and performance.

GENERAL
Please read Application Note 1 "General Operating
Considerations" which covers stability, supplies, heat sinking,
mounting, current limit, SOA interpretation, and specification
interpretation. 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.
OPERATING
CONSIDERATIONS
allowing the output voltage to drop more than 6V below the
supply rail while the amplifier is current limiting, the inductor
should be capacitively coupled or the supply voltage must be
lowered to meet SOA criteria.
NOTE: For protection against sustained, high energy flyback,
external fast-recovery diodes should be used.
MONOLITHIC AMPLIFIER
STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
All monolithic power op amps use output stage topologies
that present special stability problems. This is primarily due
to non-complementary (both devices are NPN) output
stages with a mismatch in gain and phase response for
different polarities of output current. It is difficult for the
op amp manufacturer to optimize compensation for all
operating conditions.
The recommended R-C network of 1 ohm in series with
0.1µF from output to AC common (ground or a supply rail,
with adequate bypass capacitors) will prevent local output
stage oscillations.
The amplifiers are internally compensated for unity gain
stability, no additional compensation is required.
CURRENT LIMIT
Current limit is internal to the amplifier, the typical value is
shown in the current limit specification.

insulating since the tab is tied to –V

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)
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.
Under transient conditions, capacitive and dynamic*
inductive loads up to the following maximum are safe:

1. Always use a heat sink. Even unloaded, the PA35 can
dissipate up to 3.6 watts. An insulating thermal washer
should always be used.
2. Avoid bending the leads. Such action can lead to internal
damage.
3. Always fasten the tab to the heat sink before the leads are
soldered to fixed terminals.
4. Strain relief must be provided if there is any probability of
axial stress to the leads.
* If the inductive load is driven near steady state conditions,
