Increasing drive current of AD8460 for short pulse applications

Category: Hardware
Product Number: AD8460

Hello,

I am evaluating the AD8460 for a couple of my applications, one of which involves generating a short duration (~50ms) sinusoidal waveform with a low duty cycle (~5%).  This application would require more drive current than 1Arms at ±40V for the duration it is on.

With proper thermal management, could the AD8460 reliably deliver the peak drive current (~2.2Arms) for this duration?  How would I calculate the internal power dissipation of the AD8460 in this case?
