ISL28166, ISL28266
The loading effects of the feedback resistors of the disabled
amplifier must be considered when multiple amplifier outputs
are connected together.
Using Only One Channel
The ISL28266 is a dual op amp. If the application only
requires one channel, the user must configure the unused
channel to prevent it from oscillating. The unused channel
will oscillate if the input and output pins are floating. This will
result in higher than expected supply currents and possible
noise injection into the channel being used. The proper way
to prevent this oscillation is to short the output to the
negative input and ground the positive input (as shown in
Figure 36).

Current Limiting
These devices have no internal current-limiting circuitry. If
the output is shorted, it is possible to exceed the Absolute
Maximum Rating for output current or power dissipation,
potentially resulting in the destruction of the device.
Power Dissipation
It is possible to exceed the +125°C maximum junction
temperatures under certain load and power-supply
conditions. It is therefore important to calculate the
maximum junction temperature (T_JMAX) for all applications
to determine if power supply voltages, load conditions, or
package type need to be modified to remain in the safe
operating area. These parameters are related in Equation 1:
T_JMAX = T_MAX + (θ_JAxPD_MAXTOTAL)
(EQ. 1)
where:
• P_DMAXTOTAL is the sum of the maximum power
dissipation of each amplifier in the package (PD_MAX)
• PD_MAX for each amplifier can be calculated using
Equation 2:
PD_MAX
=
2*V_S × I_SMAX + (V_S

(EQ. 2)
where:
• T_MAX = Maximum ambient temperature
• θ_JA = Thermal resistance of the package
• PD_MAX = Maximum power dissipation of 1 amplifier
• V_S = Supply voltage
• I_MAX = Maximum supply current of 1 amplifier
• V_OUTMAX = Maximum output voltage swing of the
application
• R_L = Load resistance
