Output Disable and Thermal Shutdown Status
As mentioned earlier, the OPA547’s output can be disabled
and the disable status can be monitored simultaneously.
Figures 9 and 10 provide examples using a single supply and
dual supplies, respectively.

OUTPUT PROTECTION
Reactive and EMF-generating loads can return load cur-
rent to the amplifier, causing the output voltage to exceed
the power-supply voltage. This damaging condition can be
avoided with clamp diodes from the output terminal to the
power supplies, as shown in Figure 11. Schottkey rectifier
diodes with a 1A or greater continuous rating are recom-
mended.

OUTPUT STAGE COMPENSATION
The complex load impedances common in power op amp
applications can cause output stage instability. For normal
operation output compensation circuitry is not typically re-
quired. However, if the OPA547 is intended to be driven into
current limit, a R/C network may be required. Figure 11
shows an output series R/C compensation (snubber) net-
work (3Ω in series with 0.01µF) which generally provides
excellent stability. Some variations in circuit values may be
required with certain loads.
