Basic Operation
Figures 1, 2, and 3 illustrate typical circuit configurations for
non-inverting, inverting, and unity gain topologies for dual
supply applications. They show the recommended bypass
capacitor values and overall closed loop gain equations.

Power Dissipation
Power dissipation should not be a factor when operating
under the stated 2k ohm load condition. However, ap-
plications with low impedance, DC coupled loads should
be analyzed to ensure that maximum allowed junction
temperature is not exceeded. Guidelines listed below can
be used to verify that the particular application will not
cause the device to operate beyond it’s intended operat-
ing range.
Maximum power levels are set by the absolute maximum
junction rating of 150°C. To calculate the junction tem-
perature, the package thermal resistance value Theta
JA
(Ө
JA
) is used along with the total die power dissipation.

In order to determine P

, the power dissipated in the load
needs to be subtracted from the total power delivered by
the supplies.

These measurements are basic and are relatively easy to
perform with standard lab equipment. For design purposes
however, prior knowledge of actual signal levels and load
impedance is needed to determine the dissipated power.
