DESCRIPTION
The OPA501 is a high output current operational amplifier. It can be used in virtually all common op amp circuits, yet is capable of output currents up to 10A. Power supply voltages up to 40V allow very high output power for driving motors or other electromechanical loads. Safe operating area is fully specified, and user-set current limits provide protection for both the amplifier and load. The class-B (zero output stage bias) provides low quiescent current during small-signal conditions. This rugged hybrid integrated circuit is packaged in a metal 8-pin TO-3 package. Both industrial and military temperature range models are available.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Grounding techniques can greatly affect the performance of a power op amp. Figure 1 shows grounds connected so that load current does not flow through signal ground connections. Power supply and load connections should be physically separated from the amplifier input and signal connections. Power supply connections to the amplifier should be bypassed with 10F tantalum capacitors connected close to the device pins. The capacitors should be connected to load ground as shown.
R2

Figure 2, shows the permissible range of voltage and current. SOA is reduced at high operating temperaturesee Figure 3. The safe output current decreases as VCE increases. Output short-circuits are very demanding. A short-circuit to ground forces the full power supply voltage (positive or negative side) across the conducting transistor. With VS = 30V, the current limit must be set for 2A to be safe for short-circuit to ground. For further information on SOA and evaluating signal and load conditions, consult Applications Bulletin AB-039. HEAT SINKING Most applications require a heat sink to assure that the maximum junction temperature of 200C is not exceeded. The size of the heat sink required depends on the power dissipated by the amplifier and ambient temperature conditions. Application Bulletin AB-039 explains how to find maximum power dissipation for DC, AC, reactive loads, and other conditions. Applications Bulletin AB-038 shows how to determine heat sink requirements. The case of the OPA501 is isolated from all circuitry and can be fastened directly to a heat sink. This eliminates cumbersome insulating hardware that degrades thermal performance. See Applications Bulletin AB-037 for information on mounting techniques and procedures.

FIGURE 1. Basic Circuit Connections. CURRENT LIMITS The OPA501 has independent positive and negative current limit circuits. Current limits are set by the value of R+SC and RSC. The approximate value of these resistors is:

ILIMIT is the desired maximum current at room temperature in Amperes and RSC is in ohms. The current limit value decreases with increasing temperaturesee typical performance curves. The current limit resistors conduct the full amplifier output current. Power dissipation of the current limit resistors at maximum current is:

The current limit resistors can be chosen from a variety of types. Most wire-wound types are satisfactory, although some physically large resistors may have excessive inductance which can cause instability. SAFE OPERATING AREA Stress on the output transistor is determined by the output current and the voltage across the conducting output transistor. The power dissipated by the output transistor is equal to the product of the output current and the voltage across the conducting transistor, VCE. The Safe Operating Area (SOA),
