DESCRIPTION
1"ꢅꢃ
The PA61 and PA61A are high output current operational
amplifiers designed to drive resistive, inductive and capaci-
tive loads. Their complementary emitter follower output stage
is the simple class C type and optimized for low frequency
applications where crossover distortion is not critical. These
amplifiers are not recommended for audio, transducer or
deflection coil drive circuits above 1kHz or when distortion is
critical. The safe operating area (SOA) is fully specified and
can be observed for all operating conditions by selection of
user programmable current limiting resistors. Both amplifiers
are internally compensated for all gain settings. For continu-
ous operation under load, mounting on a heatsink of proper
rating is recommended.
This hybrid circuit utilizes thick film conductors, ceramic
capacitors, and semiconductor chips to maximize reliabil-
ity, minimize size, and give top performance. Ultrasonically
bonded aluminum wires provide reliable interconnections at
all operating temperatures. The 8-pin TO-3 package is electri-
cally isolated and hermetically sealed. The use of compres-
sible thermal washers and/or improper mounting torque
voids the product warranty. Please see “General Operating
Considerations”.

TYPICALꢀAPPLICATION
Due to its high current drive capability, PA61 applications
oftenutilizeremotesensingtocompensateIRdropsinthewir-
ing. The importance of remote sensing increases as accuracy
requirements, output currents, and distance between ampli-
fier and load go up. The circuit above shows wire resistance
from the PA61 to the load and back to the local ground via
the power return line. Without remote sensing, a 7.5A load
current across only 0.05 ohm in each line would produce a
0.75V error at the load.
With the addition of the second ratio matched RF/RIN pair
and two low current sense wires, IR drops in the power return
line become common mode voltages for which the op amp
has a very high rejection ratio. Voltage drops in the output and
powerreturnwiresareinsidethefeedbackloop. Therefore, as
long as the Power Op Amp has the voltage drive capability to
overcometheIRlosses, accuracyremainsthesame. Applica-
tion Note 7 presents a general discussion of PPS circuits.
