Need help to evaluate op amp consumption on ADA4898-2

Hello,

I would want to know what is the method to evaluate the power consumption of preamp stage. I use a low noise amplifier (ADA4898-2 which is used +6V/-6V supply rails), and I'm not sure to understand the graph figure 4 on the datasheet : Does it means that the ADA4898 could support 3W@30°C for the ADA4898-2, does it means that for the ADA4898-2 that the power dissipation should be divide by 2 to know the power dissipation of one op amp ?

How can I do to estimate the consumption of a stage ? Does it exist a method ?

I hope that someone could help me.

  • Hi Glias,

    Figure 4 is showing the max power that the amp should be burning without blowing up.

    It is based on the ambient temperature and the junction temperature.

    This is telling you if the ambient temperature goes up to 80 degreeC, the power you are allowed to burn in the part is 1.5W

    I hope this answers your question.
