PATENTED

DESCRIPTION

The PA98 is a high voltage, high power bandwidth MOSFET
operational amplifier designed for output currents up to 200mA.
Output voltages can swing up to ±215V with a dual supply and
up to +440 volts with a single supply. The safe operating area
(SOA) has no second breakdown limitations and can be
observed with all types of loads by choosing an appropriate
current limiting resistor. High accuracy is achieved with a
cascode input circuit configuration. All internal biasing is
referenced to a bootstrapped zener-MOSFET current source.
As a result, the PA98 features an unprecedented supply range
and excellent supply rejection. The MOSFET output stage is
biased on for linear operation. External compensation pro­vides user flexibility.

This hybrid circuit utilizes thick film (cermet) resistors, ce­ramic capacitors and silicon semiconductor chips to maximize
reliability, minimize size and give top performance. Ultrasoni­cally bonded aluminum wires provide reliable interconnec­tions at all operating temperatures.

DYNAMIC FOCUSING

Dynamic focusing is the active correction of focusing volt­age as a beam traverses the face of a CRT. This is necessary
in high resolution flat face monitors since the distance be­tween cathode and screen varies as the beam moves from the
center of the screen to the edges. PA98 lends itself well to this
function since it can be connected as a summing amplifier with
inputs from the nominal focus potential and the dynamic
correction. The nominal might be derived from a potentiom­eter, or perhaps automatic focusing circuitry might be used to

S

generate this potential. The dynamic correction is generated
from the sweep voltages by calculating the distance of the

S

beam from the center of the display.

NOTES: 1. Unless otherwise noted: TC = 25°C, compensation = CC = 68pF, RC = 100Ω. DC input specifications are ± value given. Power

supply voltage is typical rating.

2. Long term operation at the maximum junction temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate internal power dissipation
to achieve high MTTF. Ratings apply only to output transistors. An additional 10W may be dissipated due to quiescent power.

3. Doubles for every 10°C of temperature increase.

4. +VS and –VS denote the positive and negative power supply rail respectively.

5. Rating applies if the output current alternates between both output transistors at a rate faster than 60Hz.

6. Derate max supply rating .625 V/°C below 25°C case. No derating needed above 25°C case.

CAUTION

The PA98 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.

GENERAL

Please read the “General Operating Considerations” sec­tion, which covers stability, supplies, heatsinking, mounting,
current limit, SOA interpretation, and specification interpreta­tion. 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.

CURRENT LIMIT

For proper operation, the current limit resistor (RCL) must be
connected as shown in the external connection diagram. The
minimum value is 1.4 ohm, however 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 30
ohms.

CL

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA)

The MOSFET output stage of this power operational ampli­fier 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.

SAFE OPERATING CURVES

The safe operating area curves define the maximum addi­tional internal power dissipation the amplifier can tolerate
when it produces the necessary output to drive an external
load. This is not the same as the absolute maximum internal

CONSIDERATIONS

power dissipation listed elsewhere in the specification since
the quiescent power dissipation is significant compared to the
total.

INPUT PROTECTION

Although the PA98 can withstand differential voltages up to
±25V, additional external protection is recommended. Since
the PA98 is a high speed amplifier, low leakage, low capaci­tance JFETs connected as diodes are recommended (e.g.
2N4416, Q1-Q4 in Figure 1). The differential input voltage will
be clamped to ±1.4V. This is sufficient overdrive to produce
maximum power bandwidth.

POWER SUPPLY PROTECTION

Unidirectional zener diode transient suppressors are recom­mended as protection on the supply pins. The zeners clamp
transients to voltages within the power supply rating and also
clamp power supply reversals to ground. Whether the zeners
are used or not, the system power supply should be evaluated
for transient performance including power-on overshoot and
power-off polarity reversals as well as line regulation.

Conditions which can cause open circuits or polarity rever­sals on either power supply rail should be avoided or protected
against. Reversals 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 PA98 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 C
capacitor is recommended. The compensation network C
must be mounted closely to the amplifier pins 7 and 8 to avoid
spurious oscillation.
