ON-CHIP INPUT EMI FILTER AND CLAMP CIRCUIT 
Figure 72 shows the input EMI filter and clamp circuit. The 
ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 have internal ESD 
protection diodes (D1, D2, D3, and D4) that are connected 
between the inputs and each supply rail. These diodes protect 
the input transistors in the event of electrostatic discharge and 
are reverse biased during normal operation. This protection 
scheme allows voltages as high as approximately 300 mV 
beyond the rails to be applied at the input of either terminal 
without causing permanent damage. See Table 5 in the Absolute 
Maximum Ratings section for more information. 
The EMI filter is composed of two 200 Ω input series resistors 
(R
S1
 and R
S2
), two common-mode capacitors (C
CM1
 and C
CM2
), 
and a differential capacitor (C
DM
). These RC networks set the 
−3 dB low-pass cutoff frequencies at 50 MHz for common-
mode signals, and at 33 MHz for differential signals. After the 
EMI filter, back to back diodes (D5 and D6) are added to protect 
internal circuit devices from high voltage input transients. Each 
diode has about 1 V of forward turn on voltage. See the Large 
Signal Transient Response section for more information on the 
effect of high voltage input transient on the ADA4522-1/ 
ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4. 
As specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section (see 
Table 5), the maximum input differential voltage is limited to 
±5 V. If more than ±5 V is applied, a continuous current larger 
than ±10 mA flows through one of the back to back diodes. 
This current compromises long-term reliability and can cause 
permanent damage to the device.

THERMAL SHUTDOWN 
The ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 have internal 
thermal shutdown circuitry for each channel of the amplifier. The 
thermal shutdown circuitry prevents internal devices from being 
damaged by an overheat condition in the die. Overheating can 
occur due to a high ambient temperature, a high supply voltage, 
and/or high output currents. As specified in Table 5, take care to 
maintain the junction temperature below 150°C. 
Two conditions affect junction temperature (T
J
): the total power 
dissipation of the device (P
D
) and the ambient temperature 
surrounding the package (T
A
). Use the following equation to 
estimate the approximate junction temperature:

J

D
 × θ
JA

(1) 
where θ
JA
 is the thermal resistance between the die and the 
ambient environment, as shown in Table 6. 
The total power dissipation is the sum of quiescent power of the 
device and the power required to drive a load for all channels of 
an amplifier. The power dissipation per amplifier (P
D_PER_AMP
) 
for sourcing a load is shown in Equation 2.

When sinking current, replace (V

). 
Also, take note to include the power dissipation of all channels 
of the amplifier when calculating the total power dissipation for 
the ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4. 
The thermal shutdown circuitry does not guarantee the device 
to be free of permanent damage if the junction temperature 
exceeds 150°C. However, the internal thermal shutdown function 
may help avoid permanent damage or reduce the degree of 
damage. Each amplifier channel has thermal shutdown circuitry, 
composed of a temperature sensor with hysteresis. 
As soon as the junction temperature reaches 190°C, the thermal 
shutdown circuitry shuts down the amplifier. Note that either 
one of the two thermal shutdown circuitries is activated; this 
activation disables the channel. When the amplifier is disabled, 
the output becomes open state and the quiescent current of the 
channel decreases to 0.1 mA. When the junction temperature 
cools down to 160°C, the thermal shutdown circuitry enables 
the amplifier and the quiescent current increases to its typical 
value. 
When overheating in the die is caused by an undesirable excess 
amount of output current, the thermal shutdown circuit repeats 
its function. The junction temperature keeps increasing until it 
reaches 190°C and one of the channels is disabled. Then, the 
junction temperature cools down until it reaches 160°C, and 
the channel is enabled again. The process then repeats. 
INPUT PROTECTION 
When either input of the ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 
exceeds one of the supply rails by more than 300 mV, the ESD 
diodes mentioned in the On-Chip Input EMI Filter and Clamp 
Circuit section become forward-biased and large amounts of 
current begin to flow through them. Without current limiting, 
this excessive fault current causes permanent damage to the 
device. If the inputs are expected to be subject to overvoltage 
conditions, insert a resistor in series with each input to limit the 
input current to ±10 mA maximum. However, consider the 
resistor thermal noise effect on the entire circuit. 
At a ±15 V supply voltage, the broadband voltage noise of the 
ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 is approximately 
5.8 nV/√Hz (at unity gain), and a 1 kΩ resistor has a thermal 
noise of 4 nV/√Hz. Adding a 1 kΩ resistor increases the total 
noise to 7 nV/√Hz.
