PA17

The PA17 is a high voltage MOSFET power operational amplifier that extends the performance limits of power ampli-fiers in slew rate and power bandwidth, while maintaining high current and power dissipation ratings.

The PA17 is a highly flexible amplifier. The shutdown feature of PA17 allows ultra-low quiescent current for standby opera-tion or load protection by isabling the entire amplifier. Boost voltage inputs allow the small signal portion of the amplifier to operate at a higher voltage than the high current output stage.PA17 is then biased to achieve close linear swings to the supply rails at high currents for extra efficient operation.External compensation tailors performance to user needs. Afour wire sense technique of PA17 allows current limiting without the need to consider internal or external milliohm parasitic resistance in the output line.
