If the thermal pad is soldered to the board, it is Package Glass Transition Temperature 130°C also assumed it is connected to a plane. θJC at the exposed pad ESD (Human Body Model) 1.5 kV is 6.3°C/W. ESD (Charged Device Model) 1.5 kV MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION ESD (Machine Model) 0.2 kV The maximum safe power dissipation for the AD8231-EP is 1 For junction temperatures between 105°C and 130°C, short-circuit operation limited by the associated rise in junction temperature (TJ) on beyond 1000 hours can impact part reliability. the die. At approximately 130°C, which is the glass transition Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings temperature, the plastic changes its properties. Even may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress temporarily exceeding this temperature limit may change the rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any stresses that the package exerts on the die, permanently shifting other conditions above those indicated in the operational the parametric performance of the amplifiers. Exceeding a section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute temperature of 130°C for an extended period can result in a loss maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect of functionality. device reliability. ESD CAUTION Rev.
