Rev. 0 | Page 5 of 20 AD8271 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION Table 5. Parameter Rating The maximum safe power dissipation for the AD8271 is limited by the associated rise in junction temperature (T ) on the die. At Supply Voltage ±18 V J approximately 150°C, which is the glass transition temperature, Output Short-Circuit Current See derating curve in Figure 2 the properties of the plastic change. Even temporarily exceeding Input Voltage Range +VS + 0.4 V to this temperature limit may change the stresses that the package −VS − 0.4 V exerts on the die, permanently shifting the parametric perfor- Storage Temperature Range −65°C to +130°C mance of the amplifiers. Exceeding a temperature of 150°C for Specified Temperature Range −40°C to +85°C an extended period of time can cause changes in silicon devices, Package Glass Transition Temperature (T) 150°C G potentially resulting in a loss of functionality. ESD The AD8271 has built-in short-circuit protection that limits Human Body Model 1 kV the output current to approximately 100 mA (see Figure 22 for Charge Device Model 1 kV more information). Although the short-circuit condition itself Machine Model 0.1 kV does not damage the part, the heat generated by the condition can cause the part to exceed its maximum junction temperature, Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings with corresponding negative effects on reliability. may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress 1.6 rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any T MAX = 150°C 1.4 J other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied.
