LM2903: LM2903 unused channel

Yang Wu

Part Number: LM2903

Hi Team,

My customer's product is going to mass production; there has an unused LM2903 channel on the board. they left the inverting-input, non-inverting input & output pins open.

I referred to this E2E answer, but didn't find the situation above.

So It's OK to left all the pins of the unused channel open? what will be the risk?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Yang

    Hi Yang,

    while the output need not to be connected to anything, it's not wise to leave the input pins unconnected.

    I think this method can be used in your application. Use a 10k resistor for each connection.

    Hi Kai,

    Thanks for your reply. that's also my solution. while the problem is that customer can't modify it because it's going to mass production...

    Best regards,
