Source: ApexThe PA22 provides a peak current capability of 13.6 amps, can handle a maximum supply voltage of 250 volts and offers an internal power dissipation of 250 watts. The design allows for reliable mechanical mounting and thermal interfacing with industry standard heat sink techniques allowing for strong performance when socketed. The amplifier is also equipped with output temperature sensing and current limit for further control in operation and system integration.

The PA 22 delivers the features in a SIP package providing a new standard of linear power amplifier for high pulse current applications.

The amplifier could be used for applications such as automatic test equipment, high pulse current, piezo electric positioning, deformable mirror focus, electrostatic transducers and applications with programmable voltage or current sources.
