OUTPUT STAGE

Poor current capability and low cutoff frequency

are well known limits of the standard lateral PNP.

Composite PNP-NPN power output stages have

been widely used, regardless their high saturation

drop. This drop can be overcome only at the ex-

pense of external components, namely, the boot-

strap capacitors. The availability of 4A isolated

collector PNP (ICV PNP) adds versatility to the

design. The performance of this component, in

terms of gain, VCEsat and cut-off frequency, is

shown in fig. 29, 30, 31 respectively. It is realized

in a new bipolar technology, characterized by top-

bottom isolation techniques, allowing the imple-

mentation of low leakage diodes, too. It guaran-

tees BVCEO > 20V and BVCBO > 50V both for

NPN and PNP transistors. Basically, the connec-

tion shown in fig. 32 has been chosen. First of all

because its voltage swing is rail-to-rail, limited

only by the VCEsat of the output transistors,

which are in the range of 0.3

Ω each. Then, the

gain VOUT/VIN is greater than unity, approxi-

mately 1+R2/R1. (VCC/2 is fixed by an auxiliary

amplifier common to both channel). It is possible,

controlling the amount of this local feedback, to

force the loop gain (A *

β) to less than unity at fre-

quencies for which the phase shift is 180

°. This

means that the output buffer is intrinsically stable

and not prone to oscillation.

In contrast, with the circuit of fig. 33, the solution

adopted to reduce the gain at high frequencies is

the use of an external RC network.

AMPLIFIER BLOCK DIAGRAM

The block diagram of each voltage amplifier is

shown in fig. 34. Regardless of production

spread, the current in each final stage is kept low,

with enough margin on the minimum, below which

cross-over distortion would appear.
