DESCRIPTION
The PA13 is a state of the art high voltage, very high
output current operational amplifier designed to drive resis-
tive, inductive and capacitive loads. For optimum linearity,
especially at low levels, the output stage is biased for class
A/B operation using a thermistor compensated base-emitter
voltage multiplier circuit. The safe operating area (SOA) can
be observed for all operating conditions by selection of user
programmable current limiting resistors. For continuous opera-
tion under load, a heatsink of proper rating is recommended.
The PA13 is not recommended for gains below –3 (inverting)
or +4 (non-inverting).
This hybrid integrated circuit utilizes thick film (cermet) resis-
tors, ceramic capacitors and semiconductor chips to maximize
reliability, minimize size and give top performance. Ultrasoni-
cally bonded aluminum wires provide reliable interconnections
at all operating temperatures. The 12-pin power SIP package
is electrically isolated.

POWER RATING
Not all vendors use the same method to rate the power han-
dling capability of a Power Op Amp. APEX rates the internal
dissipation, which is consistent with rating methods used by
transistor manufacturers and gives conservative results. Rating
delivered power is highly application dependent and therefore
can be misleading. For example, the 135W internal dissipation
rating of the PA13 could be expressed as an output rating
of 260W for audio (sine wave) or as 440W if using a single
ended DC load. Please note that all vendors rate maximum
power using an infinite heatsink.
THERMAL STABILITY
APEX has eliminated the tendency of class A/B output
stages toward thermal runaway and thus has vastly increased
amplifier reliability. This feature, not found in most other Power
Op Amps, was pioneered by APEX in 1981 using thermistors
which assure a negative temperature coefficient in the quies-
cent current. The reliability benefits of this added circuitry far
outweigh the slight increase in component count.
