PRODUCTION DATA
The TLC27M2 and TLC27M7 are specified with a minimum and a maximum input voltage that, if exceeded at either input, can cause the device to malfunction. Exceeding this specified range is a common problem, especially in single-supply operation. Note that the lower range limit includes the negative rail, while the upper range limit is specified at VDD −1 V at TA = 25°C and at VDD −1.5 V at all other temperatures.
Because of the extremely high input impedance and resulting low bias current requirements, the TLC27M2 and TLC27M7 are well suited for low-level signal processing; however, leakage currents on printed-circuit boards and sockets can easily exceed bias current requirements and cause a degradation in device performance. Including guard rings around inputs as in the Section 7 figure Figure 7-4 is a good practice. These guards can be driven from a low-impedance source at the same voltage level as the common-mode input (see Figure 8-3).
The inputs of any unused amplifiers must be tied to ground to avoid possible oscillation.
