DESCRIPTION:
The MSK 2541 is a high power dual monolithic amplifier ideally suited for high power amplification and magnetic
deflection applications. This amplifier is capable of operation at a supply voltage rating of 80 volts and can deliver
guaranteed continuous output currents up to 5A per amplifier. The MSK 2541 has internal current limit circuitry to
protect the amplifier and load from transients. The MSK 2541 is available in a hermetically sealed 8 pin TO3 package
that is isolated from internal circuitry. This allows for convenient bolt down heat sinking when necessary.

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
C = Case Temperature
T
TA = Ambient Temperature
TS = Sink Temperature
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
The MSK 2541 maximum supply voltage is specified as
±40V. However, single sided or unbalanced power supply
operation is permissible as long as the total power supply volt-
age does not exceed 80V. Caution should be exercised when
routing high current printed circuit paths. Generally, these
paths should not be placed near low level, high impedance
input circuitry to avoid oscillations.
During prototype evaluation, power supply current limiting
is strongly advised to avoid damaging the device. See the
application note entitled "Current Limit" for an explanation of
the limitations of the MSK 2541 on board current limit.
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 0.1 microfarad ceramic ca-
pacitor in parallel with a 4.7 microfarad tantalum capacitor
from each power supply pin to ground. It is also a good prac-
tice with very high power op-amps, such as the MSK 2541, to
place a 30-50 microfarad non-electrolytic capacitor with a low
effective series resistance in parallel with the other two power
supply decoupling capacitors. This capacitor will eliminate
any peak output voltage clipping which may occur due to poor
power supply load regulation. All power supply decoupling
capacitors should be placed as close to the package power
supply pins as possible (pins 3 and 6).
CURRENT LIMIT
Example:
In our example the amplifier application requires each output to
drive a 20 volt peak sine wave across a 10 ohm load for 2 amps of
output current. For a worst case analysis we will treat the 2 amps
peak output current as a D.C. output current. The power supplies
are ±35 VDC.
1.) Find Power Dissipation
PD = [(quiescent current) X (+VCC - (-VCC))] + [(VCC - VO) X IOUT]
= (30 mA) X (70V) + (15V) X (2A)+(15V)x(2A)
= 2.1W + 60W
= 62.1W
2.) For conservative design, set TJ = +150°C
3.) For this example, worst case TA = +25°C
4.) RθJC = 1.2°C/W typically
5.) RθCS = 0.15°C/W for most thermal greases
6.) Rearrange governing equation to solve for RθSA
RθSA =(TJ - TA) / PD - (RθJC) - (RθCS)
= (150°C - 25°C) / (62.1W) - (1.2°C/W) - (.15°C/W)
= ≅.66°C/W
The heat sink in this example must have a thermal resistance of
no more than .66°C/W to maintain a junction temperature of no
more than +150°C. Since this value of thermal resistance may be
difficult to find, other measures may have to be taken to decrease
the overall power dissipation. Refer to the "Heat Sinking Options"
application note offered by MSK.
The internal current limit should not be used as a short cir-
cuit protection scheme. When the output is directly shorted
to ground, the power supply voltage is applied across the out-
put transistor that is conducting. If the power supplies were
set to ±40V and the output was shorted to ground, the tran-
sistor that is conducting current would see 40V from its emit-
ter to its collector. Referring to the safe operating area curve
shows when [VCC-VOUT]=40V, the maximum safe output
current (IO) at TC=25°C is 1.5A. In this case the amplifier
would not be protected by the internal current limit and would
probably be damaged. The internal current limit is provided as
a protection against unintentional load conditions which may
require larger amounts of load current than the amplifier is
rated for.
SAFE OPERATING AREA
The safe operating area curve is a graphical representation
of the power handling capability of the amplifier under various
conditions. The wire bond current carrying capability, transis-
tor junction temperature and secondary breakdown limitations
are all incorporated into the safe operating area curves. All
applications should be checked against the S.O.A. curves to
ensure high M.T.T.F.
