Design targets

Supply range target

8–60 V total; ±4 to ±30 V with symmetric supplies, subject to operating margin

Continuous output-current target

3 A; package, cooling and safe-operating-area dependent

Peak output-current target

5 A class; transient operation within the safe operating area

Small-signal gain-bandwidth target

1 MHz, based on reference typical values with an 8 Ω load

Slew-rate target

10 V/µs at unity gain, 50 V peak-to-peak output and an 8 Ω load, based on the reference typical value

Control and protection

Adjustable current limit, output enable/disable and thermal-shutdown status

Practical operating notes

• These specifications are reference-based design targets. Small-signal bandwidth and slew rate describe different operating conditions and do not establish full-swing performance at every load.
• 60 V is the total supply span, not output amplitude. It is also the absolute maximum in the reference. Allow margin for supply tolerance and transients; output swing requires load-dependent headroom.
• The 3 A continuous and 5 A peak targets depend on voltage across the output stage, cooling, temperature and pulse duration. A current-limit setting up to 5 A does not turn the peak-current target into a continuous rating.
• The current limit is set through a low-power control interface rather than a load-current sensing resistor in series with the output. The enable/status interface is referenced to the negative supply; its logic and monitoring circuit must be checked for the selected supply arrangement.
• Thermal shutdown is a protection objective, not a normal operating mode. Check heatsinking, capacitive-load stability, inductive-energy return paths and transient protection. Package, pinout and thermal connections require verification for the intended board.
