operation, as there is a common-mode to differential gain
conversion that becomes greater at higher frequencies.
During operation of the AD8117/AD8118, transient currents
flow into the VOCM net from the amplifier control loops.
Although the magnitude of these currents are small (10 µA to
20 µA per output), they can contribute to crosstalk if they flow
through significant impedances. Driving VOCM with a low
impedance, low noise source is desirable.

As an example, if the AD8117/AD8118 is enclosed in an envi-
ronment at 45°C (T
A
), the total on-chip dissipation under all
load and supply conditions must not be allowed to exceed 7.0 W.
When calculating on-chip power dissipation, it is necessary to
include the rms current being delivered to the load, multiplied
by the rms voltage drop on the AD8117/AD8118 output
devices. For a sinusoidal output, the on-chip power dissipation
due to the load can be approximated by

For nonsinusoidal output, the power dissipation should be
calculated by integrating the on-chip voltage drop multiplied by
the load current over one period.
The user can subtract the quiescent current for the Class AB
output stage when calculating the loaded power dissipation. For
each output stage driving a load, subtract a quiescent power

Example
For the AD8117/AD8118, in an ambient temperature of 85°C,
with all 32 outputs driving 1 V rms into 100 loads and power
supplies at ±2.5 V, follow these steps:

Subtract the quiescent output stage current for number of
loads (64 in this example). The output stage is either
standing, or driving a load, but the current only needs to
be counted once (valid for output voltages > 0.5 V).
