DESCRIPTION
The PB58 is a high voltage, high current amplifier designed
to provide voltage and current gain for a small signal, general
purpose op amp. Including the power booster within the feedback loop of the driver amplifier results in a composite amplifier
with the accuracy of the driver and the extended output voltage
range and current capability of the booster. The PB58 can also
be used without a driver in some applications, requiring only an
external current limit resistor to function properly.
The output stage utilizes complementary MOSFETs, providing symmetrical output impedance and eliminating second
breakdown limitations imposed by Bipolar Transistors. Internal
feedback and gainset resistors are provided for a pin-strapable
gain of 3. Additional gain can be achieved with a single external
resistor. Compensation is not required for most driver/gain
configurations, but can be accomplished with a single external
capacitor. Enormous flexibility is provided through the choice of
driver amplifier, current limit, supply voltage, voltage gain, and
compensation.
This hybrid circuit utilizes a beryllia (BeO) substrate, thick film
resistors, 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 using
one-shot resistance welding. The use of compressible isolation
washers voids the warranty.

1. Long term operation at the maximum junction temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate internal power dissipation
to achieve high MTTF (Mean Time to Failure).
2. The power supply voltage specified under typical (TYP) applies, TC = 25°C unless otherwise noted.
3. Guaranteed by design but not tested.
4. +VS and –VS denote the positive and negative supply rail respectively.
5. Rating applies if the output current alternates between both output transistors at a rate faster than 60Hz.
6. +VS/–VS must be at least 15V above/below COM.
The PB58 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.
