Problem of TL074's 0V input

Guru 19485 points
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TL074

TL074's supply voltage timing is "Vcc+:15V → 5ms delay → Vcc-:-15V" because of customer reason.

Is it no problem?

Is there problem and inprovement point, please let me know.

Concern point is below.

・Common Mode Input Votage Range:±11V_min,

  When supply only Vcc+:15V, Input voltage range is 4V~11V.

 I think that TL074 will error on VIN:0V.

・In the past, the other OPAMP used only Vcc+:15V,

 VIN:0V supply became nearly -15V.

 I worry about whether the same thing will happen.

Best regards,

Satoshi

  • Satoshi san,

    It is highly recommended that no inputs are shorted to ground. A series resistance on the inputs is high recommended.
    The reason is that the -15V might become positive during power up or power down sequence.
    A grounded input might have high input current when -15V supply is positive voltage.

    During the time that only +15V is present, the device may or may not be performing to application design depending of things like input common mode range. Once the -15V also comes online then normal operation should begin.

    Thank you for reply.

    Sorry for addition, please let me know three point below on problem case (timing:15V→-15V).

    ①I think that the route of inlush current is "VCC- ⇒ IN-", is it correct?

    ②When circuit is voltage follower, is it problem,too?

    ③Can internal resister (please see below) moderate this problem?

    Best regards,

    Satoshi

  • Satoshi san,

    The VCC- to IN diode is parasitic and shown in green. This is the current path.

    The reason that input must be >4V more positive than VCC- is shown in blue.
