Product catalog summary
Overview: The PA22 is a high voltage power operational amplifier designed for high pulse current applications. It features a power supply range of up to ±110 V, a continuous output current of 12 A, and a power dissipation capacity of 250 W at 25°C. The amplifier is RoHS compliant and offers a gain bandwidth product of 4 MHz.
Features: The PA22 supports a peak current capability of 13.6 A and includes temperature sensing and current limit features. It is designed for easy heatsink connection and reliable performance even when socketed.
Applications: This amplifier is suitable for programmable voltage or current sources, piezoelectric positioning, deformable mirror focus, and electrostatic transducers.
Specifications: The amplifier operates within a supply voltage range of 40 to 250 V and can handle a peak output current of 13.6 A. It has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and an operating temperature range of -25 to +85°C.
Input and Gain: The PA22 has an initial offset voltage of 5 to 20 mV and a bias current that doubles with every 10°C increase in case temperature. It offers a common mode voltage range of -VS+15 to +VS-15 V and a noise level of 13 nV/√Hz at 10 kHz.
Output and Power Supply: The output voltage swing varies with the output current, and the amplifier supports a continuous current of 10 to 12 A within the safe operating area (SOA). The supply voltage range is 46 to 220 V, with a quiescent current of 45 to 55 mA.
Thermal Management: The thermal resistance from junction to case is 0.35°C/W for AC and 0.5°C/W for DC. The junction to air resistance is 12°C/W.
Protection and Compensation: The PA22 includes overvoltage protection and requires external compensation capacitors for phase stability. It also features a temperature sensing capability using two parallel bipolar transistors.
Package and Support: The PA22 is available in a 15-pin Power SIP package. Technical support is available through Apex Microtechnology's support channels.

Visit www.apexanalog.com for Apex Microtechnology’s complete Application Notes library, and Technical Seminar Workbook, and Evaluation Kits. SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA) The MOSFET output stage of the PA22 is not limited by second breakdown considerations as in bipolar output stages. Only thermal considerations and current handling capabilities limit the SOA (see Figure 15). The output stage is...

PA22 TYPICAL APPLICATION In Figure 16, PA22 is used in an inverting gain of 4 for a programmable voltage source application. Figure 16: Typical Application Schematic CURRENT LIMIT For proper operation, the current limit resistor (RLIM) must be connected as shown in the external connection diagram. For optimum reliability, the resistor value should be set as high as possible. The value is calculated as follows. The current limit function can be disabled by shorting the ILIM pin to the OUT pin. When current limit is active, an internal bias current of 20 mA typical will be shunted through RLIM...

PA22 Figure 17: Overvoltage Protection +V S Z1 POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING Bypass capacitors to power supply terminals +VS and -VS must be connected physically close to the pins. Apex recommends to use electrolytic capacitors of 10 µF or greater per output amp. As additional prevention of local parasitic oscillation in the output stage of the PA22, Apex advises to place high quality ceramic capacitors (X7R) of 0.1 µF or greater in parallel to the electrolytic capacitors. PHASE COMPENSATION The external compensation capacitor CC is connected between pins 3 and 4. Unity gain stability can be achieved...
