The OPA544 is a high-voltage/high-current operational amplifier suitable for driving a wide variety of
high power loads. High performance FET op amp
circuitry and high power output stage are combined on
a single monolithic chip.
The OPA544 is protected by internal current limit and
thermal shutdown circuits.
The OPA544 is available in industry-standard
5-lead TO-220 and 5-lead surface-mount power packages. Its copper tab allows easy mounting to a heat
sink for excellent thermal performance. It is specified
for operation over the extended industrial temperature
range, –40°C to +85°C.
Tab is connected
to V– supply.

ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits
may be more susceptible to damage because very small
parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its
published specifications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 1 shows the OPA544 connected as a basic noninverting amplifier. The OPA544 can be used in virtually
any op amp configuration. Power supply terminals should be
bypassed with low series impedance capacitors. The technique shown, using a ceramic and tantalum type in parallel
is recommended. Power supply wiring should have low
series impedance and inductance.

The safe output current decreases as VS–VO increases. Output
short-circuits are a very demanding case for SOA. A short-circuit
to ground forces the full power supply voltage (V+ or V–) across
the conducting transistor. With V
= ±35V the safe output current
S
is 1.5A (at 25˚C). The short-circuit current is approximately 4A
which exceeds the SOA. This situation will activate the thermal
shutdown circuit in the OPA544. For further insight on SOA,
consult Application Bulletin AB-039.

SAFE OPERATING AREA
Stress on the output transistors is determined by the output
current and the voltage across the conducting output transistor, V
. The power dissipated by the output transistor is
S–VO
equal to the product of the output current and the voltage
across the conducting transistor, VS–VO. The Safe Operating
Area (SOA curve, Figure 2) shows the permissible range of
voltage and current.

CURRENT LIMIT
The OPA544 has an internal current limit set for approximately 4A. This current limit decreases with increasing
junction temperature as shown in the typical curve, Current
Limit vs Temperature. This, in combination with the thermal
shutdown circuit, provides protection from many types of
overload. It may not, however, protect for short-circuit to
ground, depending on the power supply voltage, ambient
temperature, heat sink and signal conditions.
6OPA544
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation depends on power supply, signal and load
conditions. For dc signals, power dissipation is equal to the
product of output current times the voltage across the conducting output transistor. Power dissipation can be minimized by using the lowest possible power supply voltage
necessary to assure the required output voltage swing.
For resistive loads, the maximum power dissipation occurs
at a dc output voltage of one-half the power supply voltage.
Dissipation with ac signals is lower. Application Bulletin
AB-039 explains how to calculate or measure power dissipation with unusual signals and loads.
HEATSINKING
Most applications require a heat sink to assure that the
maximum junction temperature is not exceeded. The heat
sink required depends on the power dissipated and on
ambient conditions. Consult Application Bulletin AB-038
for information on determining heat sink requirements.
The mounting tab of the surface-mount package version
should be soldered to a circuit board copper area for good
heat dissipation. Figure 3 shows typical thermal resistance
from junction to ambient as a function of the copper area.
THERMAL PROTECTION
The OPA544 has thermal shutdown that protects the amplifier from damage. Any tendency to activate the thermal
shutdown circuit during normal operation is indication of
excessive power dissipation or an inadequate heat sink.
The thermal protection activates at a junction temperature of
approximately 155˚C. For reliable operation, junction temperature should be limited to 150˚C, maximum. To estimate
the margin of safety in a complete design (including heat
sink), increase the ambient temperature until the thermal
protection is activated. Use worst-case load and signal conditions. For good reliability, the thermal protection should
trigger more than 25˚C above the maximum expected ambient condition of your application. This produces a junction
temperature of 125˚C at the maximum expected ambient
condition.
Depending on load and signal conditions, the thermal protection circuit may produce a duty-cycle modulated output
signal. This limits the dissipation in the amplifier, but the
rapidly varying output waveform may be damaging to some
loads. The thermal protection may behave differently depending on whether internal dissipation is produced by
sourcing or sinking output current.
OUTPUT STAGE COMPENSATION
The complex load impedances common in power op amp
applications can cause output stage instability. Figure 3
shows an output series R/C compensation network (1Ω in
series with 0.01µF) which generally provides excellent stability. Some variation in circuit values may be required with
certain loads.
UNBALANCED POWER SUPPLIES
Some applications do not require equal positive and negative
output voltage swing. The power supply voltages of the
OPA544 do not need to be equal. For example, a –6V
negative power supply voltage assures that the inputs of the
OPA544 are operated within their linear common-mode
range, and that the output can swing to 0V. The V+ power
supply could range from 15V to 65V. The total voltage (V–
to V+) can range from 20V to 70V. With a 65V positive
supply voltage, the device may not be protected from damage during short-circuits because of the larger V
during
CE
this condition.
OUTPUT PROTECTION
Reactive and EMF-generating loads can return load current
to the amplifier, causing the output voltage to exceed the
power supply voltage. This damaging condition can be
avoided with clamp diodes from the output terminal to the
power supplies as shown in Figure 4. Fast-recovery rectifier
diodes with a 4A or greater continuous rating are recommended.
