Bias current of TL062CP on high humidity condition

 

Hi Technical Support Team,

 

When the TL062CP is used on high humidty(keeping 90%RH).

it causes increasing bias current(uA) during increasing temperature(30℃→85 / temperature slope: 0.5/min) with ±5V supply voltage.

If reaching 85℃/90%RH and after a period of time , bias current is stable(inside datasheet IIB specification)

 

On the other hand, when supply voltage is ±12V, it works well(normal bias current) with above humidty and temperature condition.

 

Just temperature control for 30℃→85(temperature slope0.5/min) and not control humidty, it doesn't cause increasing leak current.

 

■condition

Power Supply = ±5V

Input Voltage=0V-V

Opeamp setting: Voltage Follower

※Acording to datahseet, Vcm is ±1V when Power Supply is ±5V.

 

■Questions

1.) Does TL062CP have humidty specification? Is it possible for TL062CP to cause high bias current on high humidty condition?

2.) If input voltage is over Vcm(Vcm=±1V, but input voltage -3V), is it possible for TL062CP to cause high bias current?

 

I think that high humidity is not good condition for TL062CP and  input voltage is over Vcm does not guarantee correct behavior.

    I don't know the humidity requirements if any exist at all. It would take some time to get that information.

    I do know that an input of 0 to -3V with VCC +/-5V will be a problem. The data sheet common mode is 4V from each supply rail. There is more tolerance on the high side 0V to +3V would work OK. The lower side has much less margin. The low side margin also varies with process (device to device) and temperature. The reason is the JFET pinch-off voltage needed to bias the input JFETS. With -3V, it is not surprising that input current is high.
