OPA140 short circuit ruggedness

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA140

In a certain circuit the OPA140 has been getting zapped. My take is that its the operator who is probing all over the board near the part.

What happens to this part when the output is short circuit connected to Vcc or ground? How about pin to pin shorts? These would only be for a short time. I see the short circuit is continuous and 36ma, -30mA.

We use these parts all over the board. Its just the one area.

Let me know

Thanks

Timothy
