The OPA541 is a power operational amplifier capable of operation from power supplies up to 40V and delivering continuous output currents up to 5A. Internal current limit circuitry can be user-programmed with a single external resistor, protecting the amplifier and load from fault conditions. The OPA541 is fabricated using a proprietary bipolar/FET process. Pinout is compatible with popular hybrid power amplifiers such as the OPA511, OPA512 and the 3573.
