56. Output Short-Circuit Protection If any terminal of the IC is short circuited to one of the power supplies, IC will burnout. Protection Circuit limits the current in the output transistors in the event of short circuit.

57. Output Short-Circuit Protection Against maximum current the op amp can source In normal case – Current thru the emitter of Q 14 is 20mA, voltage drop across R 6 is approx 540mV and Q 15 is off In the event of short circuit, – if current in the emitter of Q 14 exceeds 20mA, voltage drop across R 6 will increase above 540mV and Q 15 will conduct. Robs some of the current supplied by Q 13A, thus reducing the base current of Q 14. This limits the current that the op amp supplies from the output terminal in the outward direction to 20mA.

58. Output Short-Circuit Protection Against maximum current the op amp can source In normal case – Current thru the emitter of Q 20 is 20mA, voltage drop across R 7 is approx 540mV and Q 21 is off In the event of short circuit, – if current in the emitter of Q 20 exceeds 20mA, voltage drop across R 7 will increase above 540mV and Q 21 will conduct. Robs some of the current supplied by Q 24, thus reducing the base current of Q 20. This limits the current that the op amp supplies from the output terminal in the inward direction to 20mA.
