Precision Current Control
This full-bridge power amplifier is rated for continuous output current of 0.8 Am-
peres and is intended for use in demanding servo applications such as head
positioning for high-density disk drives. The device includes a precision current
sense amplifier that provides accurate control of load current. Current is
sensed with a single resistor in series with the load. The power amplifier has a
very low output saturation voltage and will operate down to 4V supply levels.
Power output stage protection includes current limiting and thermal shutdown.

Auxiliary functions on this device include a dual-input under-voltage compara-
tor, which can monitor two independent supply voltages and force a built-in
head park function when either is below minimum. When activated by either the
UV comparator, or a command at the separate PARK input, the park circuitry
will override the amplifier inputs to convert the power outputs to a programma-
ble constant voltage source which will hold regulation as the supply voltage
falls to below 3.0 Volts. Added features include a POWER OK flag output, a
LIMIT input to force the drive output to its maximum level in either polarity, and
a over-riding INHIBIT input to disable all amplifiers and reduce quiescent sup-
ply current.

This device is packaged in a power PLCC surface mount configuration which
maintains a standard 28-pin outline, but with 7 pins along one edge allocated to
ground for optimum thermal transfer. And is also available in a 24-pin surface
mount SOIC package.
