ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Table 3.
Parameter Rating
The power dissipated in the package (P
D
) is the sum of the
quiescent power dissipation and the power dissipated in the die
due to the amplifiers’ drive at the output. The quiescent power
is the voltage between the supply pins (V
S
) times the quiescent
current (I
S
).

RMS output voltages should be considered.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
Airflow increases heat dissipation, effectively reducing θ
JA
.
In addition, more metal directly in contact with the package
leads and through holes under the device reduces θ
JA
.

Maximum Power Dissipation
The maximum safe power dissipation for the ADA4861-3 is
limited by the associated rise in junction temperature (T
J
) on
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 amplifiers. Exceeding a junction temperature of
150°C for an extended period can result in changes in silicon
devices, potentially causing degradation or loss of functionality.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
