The LT
®
1166 is a bias generating system for controlling
class AB output current in high powered amplifiers. When
connected with external transistors, the circuit becomes a
unity-gain voltage follower. The LT1166 is ideally suited
for driving power MOSFET devices because it eliminates
all quiescent current adjustments and critical transistor
matching. Multiple output stages using the LT1166 can be
paralleled to obtain higher output current.
Thermal runaway of the quiescent point is eliminated
because the bias system senses the current in each power
transistor by using a small external sense resistor. A high
speed regulator loop controls the amount of drive applied
to each power device. The LT1166 can be biased from a pair
of resistors or current sources and because it operates on the
drive voltage to the output transistors, it operates on any
supply voltage.

The denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1: External power devices may require heat sinking.
Note 2: Commercial grade parts are designed to operate over the
temperature range of –40°C to 85°C but are neither tested nor guaranteed
beyond 0°C to 70°C. Industrial grade parts specified and tested over
–40°C and 85°C are available on special request, consult factory.
Note 3: T

Note 5: The input resistance is typically 15M when the loop is closed.
When the loop is open (current limit) the input resistance drops to 200
referred to Pin 3.
Note 6: Maximum T
J
can be exceeded with 50mA operating current and
simultaneous 10V and –10V (20V total).
Note 7: Apply ±200mV to Pin 2 and measure current change in Pin 1
and 4. Pin 3 is grounded.
Note 8:
Note 9: For Linear Operation, Pin 1 must not be less than 2V or more than
10V from Pin 3. Similarly, Pin 4 must not be less than 2V or more than
10V from Pin 3.
Pin 1 = 2V, Pin 4 = –2V, Operating current 15mA and R
