DESCRIPTION
TYPICAL APPLICATION
The PA33 is a high voltage MOSFET power operational
amplifier that extends the performance limits of power ampli-
fiers in slew rate and power bandwidth, while maintaining high
current and power dissipation ratings.
The high power bandwidth of the PA33 allows driving sonar
transducersviaaresonantcircuitincludingthetransducerand
a matching transformer. The load circuit appears resistive to
the PA33. Control logic turns off the amplifier's output during
shutdown.
ThePA33isahighlyflexibleamplifier. Theshutdowncontrol
feature allows the output stage to be turned off for standby
operation or load protection during fault conditions. Boost
voltage inputs allow the small signal portion of the amplifier to
operate at a higher voltage than the high current output stage.
The amplifier is then biased to achieve close linear swings to
the supply rails at high currents for extra efficient operation.

mance to user needs. A four wire sense technique allows
precision current limiting without the need to consider internal
or external milliohm parasitic resistance in the output line. The
output stage is protected by thermal limiting circuits above
junction temperatures of 175°C.
