The amplifier design consists of dual monolithic input and output stages to achieve the desired input and output characteristics of the PA74 and PA76. The input stage utilizes a dual power op amp on a single chip monolithic that drives the output stages. The output stages are configured in a non inverting unity gain buffer configuration. The output stages of the amplifier are also compensated for stability. The PA74 and PA76 dual amplifiers are designed with both monolithic and hybrid technologies providing a cost effective solution for applications requiring multiple amplifiers per board or bridge mode configurations. Both amplifiers are internally compensated but are not recommended for use as unity gain followers.
This dual hybrid circuit utilizes a beryllia (BeO) substrate, thick film resistors, ceramic capacitors and monolithic amplifiers to maximize reliability and power handling capability, minimize size and give top performance. Ultrasonically bonded aluminum wires provide reliable interconnections at all operating temperatures. The 8-Pin TO-3 package is hermetically sealed and electrically isolated. The use of compressible isolation washers voids the warranty.
The PA74A is the A grade version, the PA74M is the non-certified "M" grade version.
