GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8398A comprises two high speed, voltage feedback
operational amplifiers. When configured as a differential line
driver, the AD8398A is an ideal choice for ADSL2+, VDSL2, and
power line communications (PLC) applications. It has high
output current, high bandwidth, and fast slew rate, combined
with exceptional multitone power ratio (MTPR) and common-
mode stability. The AD8398A is available in a thermally enhanced
4 mm × 4 mm, 16-lead LFCSP.
The AD8398A incorporates power management functionality
via two CMOS-compatible control pins, PD0 and PD1. These
pins select one of four operating modes: full power, medium
power, low power, or complete power-down. In the power-down
mode, the quiescent current drops to 0.7 mA.
The AD8398A operates in the industrial temperature range of
−40°C to +85°C.

MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum safe power dissipation for the AD8398A is limited
by its junction temperature (T
J
) on the die. The maximum safe
T
J
of plastic encapsulated devices, as determined by the glass
transition temperature of the plastic, is 150°C. Temporarily
exceeding this limit may cause a shift in the parametric
performance due to a change in the stresses exerted on the
die by the package. Exceeding this limit for an extended period
can result in device failure.
Figure 3 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the
package vs. the ambient temperature for the 16-lead LFCSP_WQ
on a 4-layer board with six vias connecting the exposed pad to
the GND plane layer.

MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION (W)
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
THERMAL RESISTANCE

is specified with the device soldered on a JEDEC circuit
board and the thermal pad connected to the GND plane layer
