The power in the IC due to the load is a function of The LT1229/LT1230 can drive capacitive loads directly the output voltage, the supply voltage and load resistance. when the proper value of feedback resistor is used. The The worst case occurs when the output voltage is at half graph Maximum Capacitive Load vs Feedback Resistor supply, if it can go that far, or its maximum value if it should be used to select the appropriate value. The value cannot reach half supply. shown is for 5dB peaking when driving a 1k load at a gain For example, let’s calculate the worst case power dissipa- of 2.

Now if that is the dual LT1229, the total power in the The LT1229/LT1230 amplifiers will operate from single or package is twice that, or 0.602W.

To ensure that the LT1229 and temperature rise. LT1230 remain within their absolute maximum ratings, Maximum Ambient = 150°C – 90.3°C = 59.7°C we must calculate the worst case power dissipation, define the maximum ambient temperature, select the Note that this is less than the maximum of 70°C that is appropriate package and then calculate the maximum specified in the absolute maximum data listing. If we must junction temperature. use this package at the maximum ambient we must lower the supply voltage or reduce the output swing. The worst case amplifier power dissipation is the total of the quiescent current times the total power supply voltage As a guideline to help in the selection of the LT1229/ plus the power in the IC due to the load.
