DESCRIPTION:
The MSK 1461 is a state of the art high speed FET input operational amplifier. The distinguishing characteristic
of the MSK 1461 is its unique VMOS output stage which completely eliminates the safe operating area restrictions
associated with secondary breakdown of bipolar transistor output stage op-amps. Freedom from secondary break-
down allows the 1461 to handle large output currents at any voltage level limited only by transistor junction tempera-
ture. 115 dB of open loop gain gives the 1461 high closed loop gain accuracy and the typical ±1.0mV of input offset
voltage will fit well in any error budget. A 500 V/µS slew rate and 1200 MHz gain bandwidth product make the 1461
an outstanding high-speed op-amp. A single external capacitor is used for compensation and output current limiting
is user programmable through the selection of two external resistors.

APPLICATION NOTES
HEAT SINKING
To select the correct heat sink for your application,
refer to the thermal model and governing equation below.
Thermal Model:
Governing Equation:
TJ=PD x (RθJC + RθCS + RθSA) + TA
Where
TJ = Junction Temperature
PD = Total Power Dissipation
RθJC = Junction to Case Thermal Resistance
RθCS = Case to Heat Sink Thermal Resistance
RθSA = Heat Sink to Ambient Thermal Resistance
TC = Case Temperature
TA = Ambient Temperature
TS = Sink Temperature
CURRENT LIMIT
The output current of the MSK 1461 is internally lim-
ited to approximately ±750mA by two 0.8Ω internal cur-
rent limit resistors. Additional current limit can be achieved
through the use of two external current limit resistors.
One resistor (+RSC) limits the positive output current and
the other (-RSC) limits the negative output current. The
value of the current limit resistors can be determined as
follows:
±RSC = [(0.65V/±ILIM) - 0.8Ω]
Since the 0.65V term is obtained from the base to
emitter voltage drop of a bipolar transistor, the equation
only holds true for +25°C operation. As case tempera-
ture increases, the 0.65V term will decrease making the
actual current limit set point decrease slightly.
The following schematic illustrates how to connect
each current limit resistor:

IN
Example:
In our example the amplifier application requires the
output to drive a 20 volt peak sine wave across a 400Ω
load for 50mA of peak output current. For a worst case
analysis we will treat the 50mA peak output current as a
D.C. output current. The power supplies shall be set to
±40VDC.
1.) Find Driver Power Dissipation
PD = [(quiescent current) x (+VS - (-VS))] +
[(+VS-VO) x IOUT]
= [(50mA) x (80V)] + [(20V) x (0.05A)]
= 4W + 1.0W
= 5Watts
2.) For conservative design, set TJ=+125°C.
3.) For this example, worst case TA=+50°C
4.) RθJC = 12°C/W from MSK 1461B Data Sheet
5.) RθCS = 0.15°C/W for most thermal greases
6.) Rearrange governing equation to solve for RθSA
RθSA = ((TJ - TA)/PD) - (RθJC) - (RθCS)
= ((125°C - 50°C) / 5W) - (12°C/W) - (.15°C/W)
≅ 2.85°C/W
The heat sink in this example must have a thermal
resistance of no more than 2.85°C/W to maintain a junc-
tion temperature of no more than +125°C.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
Both the negative and the positive power supplies must
be effectively decoupled with a high and low frequency
bypass circuit to avoid power supply induced oscillation.
An effective decoupling scheme consists of a 0.1µF ce-
ramic capacitor in parallel with a 4.7µF tantalum capaci-
tor from each power supply pin to ground.
SAFE OPERATING AREA
Any designer who has worked with power operational
amplifiers is familiar with Safe Operating Area (S.O.A.)
curves. S.O.A. curves are a graphical representation of
the following three power limiting factors of any bipolar
transistor output op-amp.
1. Wire Bond Current Carrying Capability
2. Transistor Junction Temperature
3. Secondary Breakdown Limitations
Since the MSK 1461 utilizes a MOSFET output, there
are no secondary breakdown limitations and therefore no
need for S.O.A. curves. The only limitation on output
power is the junction temperature of the output drive tran-
sistors.
Whenever possible, junction temperature should be
kept below 150°C to ensure high reliability. See "Heat
Sinking" for more information involving junction tempera-
ture calculations.
