LMC6082: LMC6082IMX/NOPB

Part Number: LMC6082

HI Team,

By Mistake I inserted the OP-AMP IC component in the socket in the reverse direction, and after testing it on the fixture circuit (voltage follower input Vref=2.5V), I measured the same 2.5V on OP-AMP1 and 1.71V on OP-AMP2. which means one side of OP-AMP got failure, is that because of reverse direction insertion? 

Based on the pin out of the device I would expect if the device was placed in the reverse direction would expect both devices in the package to Fail? 

Please clarify the query...

your immediate response would be highly appreciated. 

Thanks.

  • There is no practical way to quickly determine the destruction due to putting a part in backwards. There are many transistors and parasitic junctions inside along with routing, etc, plus your circuit PCB configuration, and thus it would take very, very many resources to determine. The parts are only guaranteed to wok when properly powered. Bottom line throw the part out and plug a new one in correctly from first power-on.
