The power dissipated in the package (P
D
) is the sum of the
quiescent power dissipation and the power dissipated in the
package due to the load drive for all outputs. The quiescent
power is the voltage between the supply pins (V
S
) times the
quiescent current (I
S
). The load current consists of differential
and common-mode currents flowing to the load, as well as
currents flowing through the external feedback networks and
the internal common-mode feedback loop. The internal resistor
tap used in the common-mode feedback loop places a 1 kΩ
differential load on the output. RMS output voltages should be
considered when dealing with ac signals.

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.

The maximum safe power dissipation in the
package
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 may change the stresses that
the package exerts on the die, permanently shifting the parametric
performance of the
Exceeding a junction temperature
of 175°C for an extended period can result in changes in the
silicon devices, potentially causing failure.
