dittolineup said:150mA - 200mA is quite normal for standard power amp output.
If 'only' 150mA makes too hot,
then you have either some other problem (like instability/oscillation)
or your heatsink is way too small.
pengpeng said:Just ask in normaly for power mosfet, how many mA of bias to set? I have adjusted at 150mA, but it seem too hot.
Can anybody help me, thank in advance.
I had same problem once, at +/-60V 150mA*4 (2 pairs power MOS)
the temperature of a normal 140mm width heat sink will probably up to 130~140¡¦F
and it is too hot.
So I ...

It doesn't make sense : if you use a heatsink the size of the one in the picture, at idling the temperature should be max 100°F with 250mA.
What does your dissipation calculation says? If it's way too hot, there must be some HF ringing or so. It's just calculations, they don't lie.
