JAJSLE9A March 2023 – April 2024 OPA928
PRODUCTION DATA
The internal power dissipation of any amplifier causes the junction temperature (TJ) to rise. This phenomenon is called self heating. To prevent damage from overheating, the OPA928 has a thermal protection feature.
This thermal protection works by monitoring the temperature of the output stage and turning off the op amp output drive for temperatures above approximately 180°C. Thermal protection forces the output to a high-impedance state. The OPA928 is also designed with approximately 30°C of thermal hysteresis. The OPA928 returns to normal operation when the output stage temperature reaches a safe operating temperature of approximately 150°C.
