DESCRIPTION
The SA01 amplifier is a pulse width modulation amplifier that
can supply 2KW to the load. The full bridge output amplifier can
be operated from a single power supply over a wide range of
voltages. An error amplifier is included which can provide gain
for the velocity control loop in brush type motor control applications. Current limit is programmable by a single resistor. A
shutdown input turns off all four drivers of the H bridge output.
A precision reference output is provided for use in offsetting
the error amplifier. The error amplifier can then be scaled for
standard input signals. The amplifier is protected from shorts
to supply or ground. The H bridge output MOSFETs are
protected from thermal overloads by directly sensing the
temperature of the die. The 10-pin hermetic power package
occupies only 2 square inches of board space and is isolated.

NOTES: 1. Each of the two active output transistors can dissipate 125W, however the N-channel will be about 1/3 of the total dissipated
power. Internal connection resistance is .05Ω.
2. Unless otherwise noted: TC = 25°C.
3. Long term operation at the maximum junction temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate internal power dissipation to
achieve high MTTF. For guidance, refer to the heatsink data sheet.
4. Guaranteed but not tested.
CAUTION
The SA01 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.

OPERATING
CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL
Helpful information about power supplies, heatsinking and
mounting can be found in the “General Operating Considerations” section of the Apex data book. For information on the
package outline, heatsinks, and mounting hardware see the
“Package Outlines” and “Accessories” section of the data book.
Also see Application Note 30 on “PWM Basics.”
CURRENT LIMIT
The current limit function sets a peak limit on current flow in
pin 8 (Isense). This limits load current and also limits current in
the event of a short of either output to +Vs. This circuit can trip
anytime during the conduction period and will hold the output
transistors off for the remainder of that conduction period.
For proper operation the current limit sense resistor must be
connected as shown in the external connection diagram. It is
recommended that the resistor be a non-inductive type. Load
current flows in pin 8. No current flows in pin 10 (Shutdown/
filter) so no error will be introduced by the length of the
connection to pin 10. However, the voltage at pin 10 is compared to GND (pin 4) and an error could be introduced if the
grounded end of R
board layout practice would be to connect R
tween pins 8 and 4.

FILTER
PROTECTION CIRCUITS
There are two conditions which will latch all the output
transistors off. The first of these conditions is activation of the
high side current limit. Specifically, current in pin 7 (+V
monitored. The DC trip level is about 35A and response time
S
) is
about 5us. As actual currents increase the response time
decreases. The external fault generally associated with this
condition is shorting one of the outputs to ground. However, a
load fault can also activate this high side current limit if the
current rise time is less than the response time of the filter
discussed under “Current Limit”. The second of these conditions is activation of any of the four output transistor overtemperature sensors at about 165°C. Ambient temperature, air
flow, amplifier mounting problems and all the previously mentioned high current faults contribute to junction temperature.
When either of these protection circuits are activated, the root
fault must be corrected and power cycled to restore normal
operation.
DEAD TIME
There is a dead time between the on and off of each output.
The dead time removes the possibility of a momentary conduction path through the upper and lower transistors of each half
bridge output during the switching interval. During the dead
time all output transistors are off. Noise or flyback may be
observed at the outputs during this time due to the high
impedance of the outputs in the off state. This will vary with the
nature of the load.

ERROR AMPLIFIER
The internal error amplifier is an operational amplifier. For
highest loop accuracy it is best to configure the op amp as an
integrator (See Figure 2). Feedback can be adjusted with
appropriate poles and zeroes to properly compensate the
velocity loop for optimum stability.
The op amp is operated from a single supply voltage generated internally. The non-inverting input of the op amp does not
have a common mode range which includes ground. R2 and R7
are used with the reference voltage provided at pin 5 to bias the
non-inverting input to +5 volts, which is approximately half of
the voltage supplied internally to the op amp. Similarly, R1 and
the parallel combination of R5 R6 are selected to bias the
inverting input also at +5 volts. Resistors R1 R2 must be
matched. Likewise the parallel combination of R5 R6 must be
matched with R7. The source impedances of the tach and the
signal source may affect the matching and should be considered in the design.
This data sheet has been carefully checked and is believed to be reliable, however, no responsibility is assumed for possible inaccuracies or omissions. All specifications are subject to change without notice.
