For example, a low level op amp has atypical voltage range of 46 to 212V, and output current usually on the order of about 5 millamperes. A power transistor with @ +35 volt supply, a collector current of 5 amperes, and a beta, or gain (of 100 needs at least 50 milliamperes of drive. In the past, connecting two transistors with widely dissimilar requirements meant that a rather ornate discrete circuithad 10 be but to convert the weak output signals from the first into levels large enough to drive the second. However, ia ‘addition to converting voltage and current, it was also necessary toinclide a number of protection circuitsto guard ‘against damage from shorts, for example, and all this design work was both tedious and expensive, 5215 ‘The ICLEO6S provides a solution to these problems. i's a monolithic power transistor driver and power transistor ‘amplifier circuit on the same chip, has all the necossary safe ‘operating area circuitry and short circultprotection, and nas. ‘on-chip +13V voltage regulators to eliminate the need for extra external power supplies. 1.

It will supply sine waves, twiangular waves and square waves from 2 hertz to 20, kilohertz. This complete test instrument can be plugged into A standard 110VAG line for power.

Full output ewing Is possible to about SKHz; after that the output begins to taper off due tothe lew ate ofthe 741, until at 20KHz the output swing will be about 20Vpp (£10V). This [problem can be remedied by simply using an op amp with a higher slew rate, such as the LFI56.ICL8063 ESiiiee ose Figure 14: Power Function Generator 3. Bullding a Constant Current Motor Drive Circult ‘The constant current motor drive configuration shown in Figure 15 is an extremely simple circuit to construct using ‘the ICL8063. This minimum device circuit can be used to ‘drive DC motors whare there is some likelihood ot staling or lock up: if the motor locks, the current drive remains ‘constant and the system does not destroy itself. Using this approach two 6V batteries aro sufficient for decent performance. A 10 volt input will produce one amp of output, ‘current to drive the motor, and if the motor is stalled, lout remains at 1 amp. For example, supposei's necessary to drivea24V OC motor with 1 amp of drive current. Fist make Vsupr atleast 6 volts ‘more than the motor being driven (in this caso 20 volts). Next select Res according to Vaurr from the data sheet, which Indicates Reias = IMM. Then choose Rs, Re, and Ra for ‘optimum sensitivity. That means making Re = 1/1to minimize the voltage drop across Ra the drop willbe 1 amp x 1 ohm or { vold. 1 amp/volt sensitivity is desirable et Ra = Ry = 10k tominimize feedback currenterror. Thena+1V input voltage will produce a +t amp current through the motor. ‘Capacitors should be at east $0 volts working voltage and all resistors 1/2W, except for those valued at 0.4 ohms, and Ra. Power across Re = IxV=1ampx 1 volt= 1 watt, soat leasta2 ‘watt value should be used. Use large heat sinks for the .2N3O5S and 2N3791 power transistors. A Delta NC-641 orthe ‘equivalent Is eppropriate. Use a thermal compound when mounting the transistor to the heat sink.

To achieve good listening results, selection of proper resistance values in the power amplifier stage is important.
