Power Dissipation vs. Die Temperature Calculator
This is a calculator for estimating junction temperature from power dissipation and packaging/heatsink characteristics. It computes die power dissipation
and temperature for a linearly regulated output from quantities specified under “Parameters.” It also computes power dissipated in an external load.

Evaluation Boards
Analog Devices provides a variety of amplifier evaluation boards for both high speed and precision amplifiers.
High speed evaluation boards: follow the ordering guide on each product page to order high speed op amps evaluation boards. All evaluation boards are
“bare,” therefore, it is necessary to order the amplifier and the evaluation board.
Precision evaluation boards: unpopulated precision op amp evaluation boards are available to the user to evaluate precision amplifiers in multiple circuit
configurations and application circuits. Op amps, resistors, capacitors, or any other components can be easily mounted on these blank boards.
For more information regarding layouts and schematics for board-specific packages, please refer to the following application notes:

SPICE Models
Analog Devices supplies SPICE models that closely duplicate data sheet test measurements. Each SPICE model can be found on the amplifier product
page under “Tools, Software & Simulation Models.” SPICE models can also be found in the Analog Devices version and the full version of National
Instruments Multisim, as well as many other circuit simulators.
Design Resources
Analog Devices’ Circuits from the Lab™ reference circuits are engineered and tested for quick and easy system integration to
help solve today’s analog, mixed-signal, and RF design challenges. These circuits represent easy-to-understand subsystem
level building blocks intended for time-saving evaluation and easy integration.
All of our reference circuits have been thoroughly documented, and new circuits provide test data, design/layout guidelines,
schematics, PCB layout files, a bill of materials, and a device driver (when applicable). Evaluation hardware is also available for
most new circuits. Find operational amplifier circuits at www.analog.com/circuits.
EngineerZone is an online support community for engineers who are using Analog Devices amplifier products to ask questions,
share knowledge and search for answers to their design questions. Collaborate with Analog Devices engineers and other
designers in this open forum at ez.analog.com.
