avoided with clamp diodes from the output terminal to the

power supplies, as shown in Figure 14. Schottky rectifier

diodes with a 5A or greater continuous rating are recom-

mended.

VOLTAGE SOURCE APPLICATION

Figure 15 illustrates how to use the OPA548 to provide an

accurate voltage source with only three external resistors.

pin is constant and stable over temperature. This voltage,

used as a voltage reference, thus eliminating the need for an

external reference. The feedback resistors are selected to

PROGRAMMABLE POWER SUPPLY

A programmable source/sink power supply can easily be

built using the OPA548. Both the output voltage and output

current are user-controlled. See Figure 16 for a circuit using

potentiometers to adjust the output voltage and current while

Figure 17 uses DACs. An LED tied to the E/S pin through a

logic gate indicates if the OPA548 is in thermal shutdown.
