The LT1970A power op amp with precision controllable a conventional manner. The output stage includes current current limit is a flexible voltage and current source limiting at ±800mA to protect against fault conditions. module. The drawing on the front page of this data sheet The input stage has high differential breakdown of 36V is representative of the basic application of the circuit, minimum between –IN and +IN. No current will flow at however many alternate uses are possible with proper the inputs when differential input voltage is present. This understanding of the sub circuit capabilities. feature is important when the precision current sense amplifiers “ISINK” and “ISRC” become active.
