2 Power Amplifiers, Power FETS & BJTs Audio (stereo) MP3 Players Motor controllers Servo controllers (robotics) Drivers for transducers Sonar Buzzers Laser diodes (CDs, DVDs) Considerations Low output resistance (to deliver power) Low total harmonic distortion Power dissipation by output transistors A. Kruger Power + Output Stages2

3 Packaging Schemes Can/tab is normally the collector (BJT) Heat sink E & B (BJT) TO-3 One of these may also be collector (BJT) A. Kruger Power + Output Stages3

4 Packaging Schemes Tab is normally the Collector (BJT) or Drain (MOSFET) Schottky Diode E & B (BJT) or G & S (MOSFET) DPAK TO-252 MOSFET ChipFET A. Kruger Power + Output Stages4

5 Packaging Schemes 200 A, 100 V, 4.5 mω FET $ A, 200 V, 3.5 mω FET $260 A. Kruger Power + Output Stages5

6 Typical DC β for 2N3055 (Power BJT) Sect Note that at 10 A, β drops to 10! β increases gets better with increasing temp β decreases (significantly) with increasing I C A. Kruger Power + Output Stages6

7 Transistor Maximum Operating Ratings A. Kruger Power + Output Stages7

8 The plot the function y = K x or K = xy is a hyperbola Maximum Power Hyperbola y K = xy x Power transistor generally have a maximum power dissipation specification P T (Watt) Since power = I V, we have I C P T = I C V CE P T = I C V CE V CE Collector Current Collector Emitter Voltage A. Kruger Power + Output Stages8

9 Safe Operating Area (SOA) for BJT Max I, determined by, for example, how much current bonding wires can handle Max V normally determined by avalanche breakdown of reverse biased CB junction. Linear scale Log scale Max P T, hyperbola SOA Slight non-uniformities in semiconductor material causes non-uniformities in current density. This produces regions of increased heating, which lowers the resistance of semiconductor, which increases current, which generates more heat,... This can cause material to melt. This is called second breakdown. A. Kruger Power + Output Stages9

10 Heatsink Calculations BJTs and MOSFETs absolute maximum operating parameters include a maximum junction temperature specification To stay within the specification, one has to extract the heat from the junction, and transfer the heat to the surrounding air. The material between the junction and the ambient air resists the flow of heat and this leads to the concept of thermal resistance. A heatsink is a piece of metal that lowers the thermal resistance have aids the flow of heat away from the junction. A. Kruger Power + Output Stages10

11 Electrical Equivalent Circuit: Heat Flow From Device to Ambient Sect Model the power (heat) the device generates internally with a current source. The heat is analogous to current. We model this as a current source. Model the thermal resistance as resistors. Units: o C/W Model the temperature and temperature differences as voltages. Ambient temperature A. Kruger Power + Output Stages11

12 Electrical Equivalent Circuit: Heat Flow From Device to Ambient This is the temperature at the semiconductor junction T dev T amb P D snkamb casesnk dev-case Think of as a voltage R between case and device (junction) Think of as a current Think of as resistances R between case and heat sink R between heat sink and ambient A. Kruger Power + Output Stages12

13 Some Heat Sinks o 0.1 C/W $260 1 o C/W $10 $3 10 o C/W A. Kruger Power + Output Stages13

14 MOSFET dev-case case-amb T j,max T dev o o Example 8.2 C/W C/W 150 o C R between case and ambient, no heat sink Maximum allowable junction temperature Heat sink snkamb casesnk 5 1 o o C/W C/W Ambient T amb 30 o C Find the max. power the device can dissipate with/without the heat sink T dev P T D amb P D dev-case dev-case Tdev T amb casesnk casesnk snkamb snkamb 15.5 W With heat sink case-amb T dev P T D amb P T D dev dev-case dev-case T amb case-amb case-amb 2.32 W With no heat sink the thermal resistance is much larger A. Kruger Power + Output Stages14

15 Interdigitated BJT: Top view Cross-sectional view A. Kruger Power + Output Stages15

16 Typical High-Power MOSFET Characteristics Sect g m decreases with increasing temperature But, variation in g m is less than variation in β Power MOSFETs no second breakdown Faster switching times A. Kruger Power + Output Stages16

17 High-Power MOSFET Structures Special structures to lower contact resistance, channel resistance and aid heat removal VMOS DMOS HEXMOS / HEXFET A. Kruger Power + Output Stages17

18 Drain-to-Source Resistance Versus I D D R DS S Some MOSFETSs have R DS(ON) in milliohm range At I D = 30 A, V DS > 15 V P D = = 450 W Note the large currents A. Kruger Power + Output Stages18

19 Sect Comparing Power BJTs and MOSFETS BJT Large base current I C = 10 A, β = 10, needs I B = 1 A Second breakdown Thermal runaway MOSFET No gate current, can be driven by standard logic circuit No second breakdown No thermal runaway MOSFETs are rapidly replacing power BJTs A. Kruger Power + Output Stages19

20 I C /I D Versus Time Characteristics Sect 8.3 Class-A (always on) Class-B (on during one half cycle) Class-AB (hybrid) Class-C (on less than one half cycle) A. Kruger Power + Output Stages20

21 Class-A CE Amplifier Sect Q-point was chosen for maximum output swing Consumes power even when there is no input signal (max) signal load power supply power 25% Don t design this into MP3 player/cell phone etc. A. Kruger Power + Output Stages21

22 BJT Saturation Voltage In both circuit, as I B increases, I C increases and V CE decreases. However, it reaches a point where V CE will not decrease, regardless how much I B is. This is the saturation voltage V CE(sat) For low power BJTs, V CE(sat) is often 200 mv~ 600 mv. However, saturation voltage can be higher. For example, for the PN2222 it is ~ 1 V For power transistors this can be significant. For example, for the 2N3055 BJT, V CE(sat) can be as high as A. Thus, P D = 4.4 W in saturation. A. Kruger Power + Output Stages22

23 I C /I D Versus Time Characteristics Sect 8.3 Class-A (always on) Class-B (on during one half cycle) Class-AB (hybrid) Class-C (on less than one half cycle) A. Kruger Power + Output Stages23

24 Class-A Characteristics Power hungry efficiency is 25%, or 50% but then inductors/transformers are needed (costly, heavy) Simple Inherently low distortion A. Kruger Power + Output Stages24

25 I C /I D Versus Time Characteristics Sect 8.3 Class-A (always on) Class-B (on during one half cycle) Class-AB (hybrid) Class-C (on less than one half cycle) A. Kruger Power + Output Stages25

32 Bipolar Class-AB Output Stage Sect Supply bias voltages so that both transistors are turned on, with small quiescent current A. Kruger Power + Output Stages32

33 Class-AB Output Stage: Q-Point Established by Diodes Sect How? Place diodes in same thermal environment as transistors A. Kruger Power + Output Stages33

34 Class-AB Output Stage: Darlington Pair Sect Mimics a PNP Darlington Why not use PNP Darlington (no mimic)? A. Kruger Power + Output Stages34

35 MOSFET Class-AB Output Stage Supply bias voltages so that both FETs are turned on, with small quiescent current MOSFETs V TO s vary much more than BJT s V BE See example 8.8 A. Kruger Power + Output Stages35

36 Matched and Complementary Transistors Push-pull stages work best if the complementary output transistors have matching characteristics. That is, β n = β p, V n(sat) = V p(sat), etc. or V TP = V TN, K n = K p, etc. This hard to achieve in discrete parts, but there are several so-called complemenary-pairs on the market. It is easier to achieve close matching in ICs A. Kruger Power + Output Stages36

This is the same a using an infinite heat sink so that the thermal resistance between case and heat sink, and heats sink and ambient is zero. A. Kruger Power + Output Stages42
