Power Dissipation
Power dissipation should not be a factor when operating
under the stated 1000 ohm load condition. However, ap-
plications with low impedance, DC coupled loads should
be analyzed to ensure that maximum allowed junction
temperature is not exceeded. Guidelines listed below can
be used to verify that the particular application will not
cause the device to operate beyond it’s intended operat-
ing range.
Maximum power levels are set by the absolute maximum
junction rating of 150°C. To calculate the junction tem-
perature, the package thermal resistance value ThetaJA
(ӨJA) is used along with the total die power dissipation.
TJunction = TAmbient + (ӨJA × PD)
Where TAmbient is the temperature of the working environment.
In order to determine PD, the power dissipated in the load
needs to be subtracted from the total power delivered by
the supplies.
PD = Psupply - Pload
Supply power is calculated by the standard power equa-
tion.
Psupply = Vsupply × IRMS supply
Vsupply = VS+ - VS-
Power delivered to a purely resistive load is:
Pload = ((VLOAD)RMS2)/Rloadeff
The effective load resistor (Rloadeff) will need to include
the effect of the feedback network. For instance,
Rloadeff in gure 3 would be calculated as:
RL || (Rf + Rg)
These measurements are basic and are relatively easy to
perform with standard lab equipment. For design purposes
however, prior knowledge of actual signal levels and load
impedance is needed to determine the dissipated power.
Here, PD can be found from
PD = PQuiescent + PDynamic - PLoad
Quiescent power can be derived from the specied IS val-
ues along with known supply voltage, VSupply. Load power
can be calculated as above with the desired signal ampli-
tudes using:
(VLOAD)RMS = VPEAK / √2
( ILOAD)RMS = ( VLOAD)RMS / Rloadeff
The dynamic power is focused primarily within the output
stage driving the load. This value can be calculated as:
PDYNAMIC = (VS+ - VLOAD)RMS × ( ILOAD)RMS
Assuming the load is referenced in the middle of the pow-
er rails or Vsupply/2.
Figure 3 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in
the package vs. the ambient temperature for the pack-
ages available.
