DESCRIPTION

The PA93 is a high voltage, low quiescent current MOSFET

operational amplifier designed as a low cost solution for driving

continuous output currents up to 8A and pulse currents up to

14A. The safe operating area (SOA) has no second breakdown

limitations and can be observed for all type loads by choosing

an appropriate current limiting resistor. The MOSFET output

stage is biased AB for linear operation. External compensation

provides flexibility in choosing bandwidth and slew rate for

the application. APEX’s Power SIP package uses a minimum

of board space allowing for high density circuit boards. The

Power SIP package is electrically isolated.

TYPICAL APPLICATION

LOW POWER, PIEZOELECTRIC POSITIONING

Piezo positioning may be applied to the focusing of segment-

ed mirror systems. The composite mirror may be composed of

hundreds of elements, each requiring focusing under computer

control. In such complex systems the PA93 reduces the costs

of power supplies and cooling with its advantages of low cost

and low quiescent power consumption while increasing circuit

density with the SIP package.
