Hi Team,
Quick question on the OPA551. Is there a max voltage rating on the Vo pin?
I see that in the Abs Max rating I'm directed to the SoA curve to ensure the device doesn't overheat, but I'm more interested in a transient voltage rating. I have to inject a very large voltage & current to the output (A Lightning Compliance Test) and need to determine what voltage I need to clamp at in order to protect the OPA551.
My Vs is +/- 12V and looking at the Vout recommended operating conditions it looks like you recommend staying under/above the supply by 2V at 10mA. Therefore I assume I would be safe if I clamped the Vout rail at +/- 10V and limit the current to 10mA max. Is this correct?
Regards,
Hayden
