AD745HOW CHIP PACKAGE TYPE AND POWER DISSIPATION300TAFFECT INPUT BIAS CURRENTA = 25C As with all JFET input amplifiers, the input bias current of the AD745 is a direct function of device junction temperature, IB approximately doubling every 10°C. Figure 9 shows the rela- Amps – 200 tionship between bias current and junction temperature for the JA = 165C/W AD745. This graph shows that lowering the junction tempera- ture will dramatically improve IB. 10–6100JA = 115C/WVS = 15V TA = 25CINPUT BIAS CURRENT10–7JA = 0C/WAmps – 10–80 51015SUPPLY VOLTAGE –Volts10–9 Figure 11.

Figure 12. Breakdown of Various Package Thermal Resistance TJCCAJREDUCED POWER SUPPLY OPERATION FORJALOWER IPTBINA Reduced power supply operation lowers IB in two ways: first, by lowering both the total power dissipation and, second, by reduc- WHERE: ing the basic gate-to-junction leakage (Figure 11). Figure 13 PIN = DEVICE DISSIPATION shows a 40 dB gain piezoelectric transducer amplifier, which TA = AMBIENT TEMPERATURE operates without an ac coupling capacitor, over the –40°C to TJ = JUNCTION TEMPERATURE +85°C temperature range. If the optional coupling capacitor, JC = THERMAL RESISTANCE – JUNCTION TO CASECA = THERMAL RESISTANCE – CASE TO AMBIENT C1, is used, this circuit will operate over the entire –55°C to +125°C temperature range.

Therefore, IB can be deter- mined in a particular application by using Figure 9 together with C1* the published data for θ 108CT**** JA and power dissipation. The user can +5V modify θJA by use of an appropriate clip-on heat sink such as the Aavid #5801. Figure 11 shows bias current versus supply voltage AD745TRANSDUCER with θJA as the third variable.
