TL082: Failure problem

Part Number: TL082


Tool/software:

hi team,

my customer found that the resistance of  one chip TL082  is abnormal when system runs normally. The problem occurs once in every 1000pcs. The resistance is as shown in below excel. Customer wants to know which could result to this kind of failure. thanks!

  • Hi Zoey, 

    my customer found that the resistance of  one chip TL082  is abnormal when system runs normally. The problem occurs once in every 1000pcs.

    The input DC resistance in op amp's pins are not the standard screening process to determine GOOD or BAD amplifiers. It is ok to say that two batches of op amps are different. The PASS/FAIL criteria is arbitrarily defined by customer based on the history of the received op amps. 

    The issues are TL082's FAB has changed recently, and that is why the customer is seen differences. Here are related PCN in this part.

    The new TL082 is manufactured from the upgraded FAB. Both old and new TL082 op amps are equivalent in performance, but certain performance may be slightly different. It is suggested to check the new FAB out, and it may require slight circuit modification for the existing design, which I can help (you need to send me the schematic and I will be happy to check it out). 

    In general, the new FAB op amp has better performance and better consistency than the old Si design. 

    If you have other questions, please let me know.

  • hi  Raymond,

    thanks for your reply!

    Here is the schematic of customer. Could u kindly help to look into this? Especially whether the resistor of R509&R510 are suitable or not? thanks!

  • The schematic does not show the TL082 but the TL082H. There was no PCN for the TL082H.

    What is the possible range of output voltages for U500A? What is the desired range of input voltages at U501?

    With the full ±15 V at U500A's output, the output current could be 35 mA, which would be too much. By increasing R514, you would be able to use a smaller current.

  • hi Raymond, the output range of TL082 is  ±5 V  , the input range of U501 is ±250mV. Are there any problems? thanks!

  • Hi Zoey, 

    There was no PCN for the TL082H.

    The record is shown the TL082H is in RFAB, and PCN is related to 20230627002 series. The reason the part does not have PCN is that TL082H is designed in RFAB first; then use it as the baseline to convert the existing TL082C and TL082I to RFAB. TL082H is manufactured in RFAB process.

    What is the possible range of output voltages for U500A? What is the desired range of input voltages at U501?

    The input common mode range in this part is shown in the label below. The output can swing close to Vcc, depending on the load and current level. The nominal output current may be able to source/sink up to +/-17mA range depending on the Tamb, see the plots below. Isc is rated at approx. +/-26mA at room temperature. 

    the output range of TL082 is  ±5 V  , the input range of U501 is ±250mV.

    If I understood your requirements, here is the simulation. 

    TL082H E2E 04102025.TSC

    I would remove C502, 100pF from the TL082H's input. If the customer wants to place a differential LPF in front of it, they can try the following way. 

    TL082H E2E Option2 04102025.TSC

    If you have other questions, please let me know. 

    Best,
