heat dissipation. See Figure 6 for typical thermal resistance
from junction-to-ambient as a function of the copper area.
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation depends on power supply, signal, and load
conditions. For dc signals, power dissipation is equal to
the product of output current times the voltage across the
mounting surface with a mica (or other film) insulator (see
Figure 5). For lowest overall thermal resistance it is best to
isolate the entire heat sink/OPA548 structure from the mount-
ing surface rather than to use an insulator between the
semiconductor and heat sink.
For best thermal performance, the tab of the DDPAK sur-
face-mount version should be soldered directly to a circuit
board copper area. Increasing the copper area improves
