TL331-EP: Startup behavior question

Part Number: TL331-EP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TL331

I have a customer using the TLV331-EP in the following config:

As you can see below, output is low when non-inverting input exceeds the value on inverting input at startup.

Any insight as to why this is happening?

Thanks.

  • Hello Gregory,

    It appears the common mode range is being violated. Over temperature, common mode voltage should be less than Vcc - 2V, which would be 6V for an 8V supply. Here it appears that the common mode is around 7V.

    I am not sure what your question is. Are you asking about the noise of the supplies? I am not sure how the TL331 could cause that.
