MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION

The maximum safe power dissipation in the AD8124 package

the die. At approximately 150°C, which is the glass transition

temperature, the plastic changes its properties. Even temporarily

exceeding this temperature limit can change the stresses that the

package exerts on the die, permanently shifting the parametric

performance of the AD8124. Exceeding a junction temperature

of 175°C for an extended time can result in changes in the

silicon devices, potentially causing failure.

quiescent power dissipation and the power dissipated in the

package due to the load drive for all outputs. The quiescent

current is calculated by multiplying the load current by the

voltage difference between the associated power supply and the

output voltage. The total power dissipation due to load currents

is then obtained by taking the sum of the individual power

dissipations. RMS output voltages must be used when dealing

with ac signals.
