DESCRIPTION 1N4148
PA01

The PA01 and PA73 are high voltage, high output current RCL–

operational amplifiers designed to drive resistive, inductive .33Ω

and capacitive loads. For optimum linearity, the PA01 has a –30V 3W
OPTO
class A/B output stage. The PA73 has a simple class C output F/V PULSE M 24V
stage (see Note 1) to reduce cost for motor control and other RF
0/–5V
GEN.

applications where crossover distortion is not critical and

to provide interchangeability with type 3573 amplifiers. The UNSYMMETRICAL SUPPLIES FOR EFFICIENCY

safe operating area (SOA) can be observed for all operating

conditions by selection of user programmable current limit
resistors. These amplifiers are internally compensated for all
gain settings. For continuous operation under load, a heatsink
of proper rating is recommended.
This hybrid integrated circuit utilizes thick film (cermet)
resistors, ceramic capacitors and semiconductor chips to
maximize reliability, minimize size and give top performance.
Ultrasonically bonded aluminum wires provide reliable inter-
connections at all operating temperatures. The 8-pin TO-3
package is hermetically sealed and electrically isolated. The
use of compressible thermal washers and/or improper mount-
ing torque will void the product warranty. Please see “General
Operating Considerations”.
Unidirectional Optical Speed Control
The pulse output of a non-contact optical sensor drives a
voltage-to-frequency converter which generates feedback for
the op amp. With the loop closed in this manner, the op amp
corrects for any variations in the speed due to changing load.
Because of operation in only one direction, an unsymmetrical
supply is used to maximize efficiency of both power op amp
and power supply. High speed diodes at the input protect the
op amp from commutator noise which may be generated by
the motor.

NOTES: * The specification of PA73 is identical to the specification for PA01 in applicable column to the left.
1. Long term operation at the maximum junction temperature will result in reduced product life. Derate internal power dissipation to
achieve high MTTF.
2. The power supply voltage specified under the TYP rating applies unless otherwise noted as a test condition.
3. +VS and –VS denote the positive and negative supply rail respectively. Total VS is measured from +VS to –VS.
4. Rating applies if the output current alternates between both output transistors at a rate faster than 60Hz.

The internal substrate contains beryllia (BeO). Do not break the seal. If accidentally broken, do not crush, machine, or
  CAUTION subject to temperatures in excess of 850°C to avoid generating toxic fumes.
