For resistive loads, the maximum power dissipation occurs at a dc output voltage of one-half the power-supply
voltage. Dissipation with ac signals is lower. Application bulletin AB-039 (

Repeated activation of the thermal protection circuit indicates excessive power dissipation or an inadequate
heatsink. For reliable operation, junction temperature should be limited to +150°C, maximum. To estimate the
margin of safety in a complete design, increase the ambient temperature until the thermal protection is triggered
at +160°C. However, for reliable operation, design your system to operate at a maximum of 35°C below the
thermal protection trigger temperature (that is, +125°C or less).

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The following sections show typical applications of the OPA1S238x and explain their basic functionality.
Signal Strength Detection
The OPA1S238x can be used to detect the signal strength of a fast changing optical signal.
shows a
simplified circuit for this application.
Optical sensors like photodiodes often generate a current that is proportional to the amount of light detected by
these sensors. The current generated by this sensor is represented by the current source I
these sensors. The current generated by this sensor is represented by the current source I
IN
, as shown in
. One of the OPA1S238x op amps is configured in a transimpedance configuration. If it is assumed that
this op amp behaves like an ideal op amp, then all the current generated by I
IN
flows through R1 and generates a
voltage drop of I

In real-life applications, the current generated by I
IN
can change very quickly. The current at a specific point in
time can be measured by using the internal switch of the OPA1S238x. When the switch is closed, the C2
capacitor is charged to the output voltage level of the first amplifier (V
capacitor is charged to the output voltage level of the first amplifier (V
TIA
). By opening the switch, the output is
disconnected from C2, and the voltage at the noninverting terminal of the second op amp remains at the same
voltage level as when the switch was opened. The second op amp is configured in a buffer configuration and
prevents the C2 capacitor from being discharged by a load at the V
voltage level as when the switch was opened. The second op amp is configured in a buffer configuration and
prevents the C2 capacitor from being discharged by a load at the V
