DESCRIPTION
The PA90 is a high voltage, low quiescent current MOSFET
operational amplifier designed as a low cost solution for driving
continuous output currents up to 200mA and pulse currents up
to 350mA. The safe operating area (SOA) has no second
breakdown limitations and can be observed for all type loads
by choosing an appropriate current limiting resistor. The
MOSFET output stage is biased AB for linear operation.
External compensation provides flexibility in choosing band-
width and slew rate for the application. APEX’s Power SIP12
package uses a minimum of board space allowing for high
density circuit boards.

LOW POWER, PIEZOELECTRIC POSITIONING
Piezo positioning may be applied to the focusing of seg-
mented mirror systems. The composite mirror may be com-
posed of hundreds of elements, each requiring focusing under
computer control. In such complex systems the PA90 reduces
the costs of power supplies and cooling with its advantages of
low cost and low quiescent power consumption while increas-
ing circuit density with the SIP package.
