Hi, I am trying to get a power dissipation calculation to find out my thermal dissipation. I'm using an OPA551 (DDPAK package) with a 50V single supply. It's a non inverting amplifier with a gain of 10. I'm putting in 2.5VDC and 1Vpp, 2kHz square wave signal. So output is 25V with a 10Vpp swing. It's going into a 44ohm load. I have searched for power dissipation formulas and either found them for DC or AC_max that don't include the frequency or voltage swing output that I know are factors based on my testing (for example slowing the signal down cools it down, reducing the output swing cools it down). Can you help? Thank you!
