DESCRIPTION

The PAD01 compact operational amplifier is
constructed with surface mount components to
provide a low cost solution for many industrial
applications. With a footprint only 30mm square,
similar to the footprint area of the TO3 hybrid
package, the PAD01 offers outstanding
performance that outperforms the more expensive
hybrid amplifiers. External compensation tailors
the amplifier’s response to the application
requirements. Current limit is programmable with
a single resistor. The amplifier circuitry is built on
a thermally conductive but electrically insulating
metal substrate. No BeO is used in the PAD01.

A NEW CONCEPT

A critical task in any power amplifier application
is cooling the amplifier. Until now component
amplifier manufacturers often treated this task as
an after-thought, left for the user to figure out. At
Power Amp Design the best heat sink and fan
combination is chosen at the start and becomes an
integral part of the overall amplifier design. The
result is the most compact and volumetric
efficient design combination at the lowest cost. In
addition, this integrated solution concept offers an
achievable real-world power dissipation rating,
not the ideal rating usually cited when the
amplifier case is somehow kept at 25o
C. The user
no longer needs to specify, procure or assemble
separate components.
