Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA860, TINA-TI
I am using the OPA615 as a high speed integrator as per Fig 47 in the data sheet. I have simulated it in Altium and all looks OK. There is something wrong on my board however. When I power up, the -5V line gets dragged down and my chip starts to overheat. I have resolved this by adding a resistor (1Meg) from the base (pin 2) to ground. This appears to work and stops the -5V being dragged down but I am not clear why this is necessary and why it is not shown or mentioned in the DS. The downside of course is that my hold capacitor is discharging quite rapidly.
Any thoughts?
