LT1014 Latch up

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LT1014
we are using LT1014 op-amp as inverting amplifier. using single power supply (+5V)  VCC- terminal connected to GND
R1(input resistance)=19.21K and RF =3K
whiling testing observed
LT1014 op-amp inverting amplifier output was going below ground (~-0.6Vdc) for ~4 minutes and then recovering  at -40 deg C condition.
The input signal (-15V ) is applied before LT1014(op amp) power is applied
is create the latchup
how much negative input can connect to create the latch up issue?
  • Premchand,

    What is the output voltage of the other three channels?

    Page 18 of data sheet says the phase inversion protection stops working if other amplifiers are driven low. 

  • Hello Ronald

    Thanks a lot for quick reply

    we are using LT1014 op-amp-1 and opamp-4 as inverting amplifier and opamp-2, opamp-4 are unused.

    using single power supply (+5V) VCC- terminal connected to GND

    we are using op-amp-1 and op-amp-4 for monitoring -15V supply

    inverting amplifier op-amp-1=> R1(input resistance)==19.21K RF=>3.022K

    inverting amplifier op-amp-4=> R1(input resistance)==5.921K RF=>1.049K

    During power-up :The input signal (-15V ) is applied before LT1014(op amp) power(+5V) is applied


    From simulation : voltage at inverting terminal of opamp-1 is -2.1V
    voltage at inverting terminal of opamp-2 is -2.3V

    because of above condition the latch issues will occur?

    If BAS70 diode connected across the inverting terminal of op-amp-1 to GND is sufficient to Solve the latch up issue?

    or other diode for inverting terminal of op-amp-4 to GND diode need to connect to solve issues?
    i.e two diodes required to solve this issue?
  • Prechand,

    Can you check the output voltage on the two unused amplifiers? Are the inputs left unconnected?
    The data suggests that only one input should be below ground at a time. I will have to order samples to try to replicate your results.
  • Hello Ronald Michallick

    Thanks for your support

    Unused op-amps are two

    Op-amp-2 and op-amp-3

    connected as like buffer

    non inverting input connected to voltage divider (R1=4.99k and R2=4.99K ) supply voltage for resistor divider circuit is 5V (same as supply voltage of op-amp)

    i.e non inverting input voltage is 2.5V and output voltage is 2.5V for op-amp-2 and op-amp-3

    Note : Op-amp-2 and op-amp-3 output not connected any circuit


    we are using op-amp-1 and op-amp-4 for monitoring -15V supply (Over voltage and under voltage )

    inverting amplifier op-amp-1=> R1(input resistance)==19.21K RF=>3.022K

    inverting amplifier op-amp-4=> R1(input resistance)==5.921K RF=>1.049K

    op-amp -1 and op-amp -4 output connected to comparator input


    Thanks
