I have used 723 (mostly T-100 and PDIP) parts in instrumentation systems and production designs for may years. In 2012 I used the part in two new designs. we completed out preliminary design validation process using PDIP pars successfully and transitioned to uA723C parts for production. Unfortunately we were never able to obtain satisfactory voltage regulation that was well beyond the spec sheet parameters (10's of mV drift) and had to abandon the design and move on another design. We opened a dialog with TI to try to root cause the problem, however it apparently wend down the rabbit hole and we had to move on without a resolution. We now have a project that I would like to use the part in (it really can be a great part for our applications) but before we commit to it again I would like to find out if we had a bad lot of parts or the die has changed to the point where it is not compatible with our baseline design. I did notice that one of the app notes recommended a n external voltage reference in order to improve regulation, perhaps this is an indication of a problem and we can certainly add that reference if necessary. Unfortunately because of the nature of our business I cannot post a schematic here but would like to have a response and share a schematic directly with one of your product engineers off line and hopefully resolve this issue before we move on to another part again.
