LM211DT datasheet by STMicroelectronics

LM211DT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum power dissipation of the LM211DT?
  The maximum power dissipation of the LM211DT is 1.4W, which is dependent on the ambient temperature and the thermal resistance of the package.
• How do I ensure stability in the LM211DT op-amp?
  To ensure stability in the LM211DT op-amp, it is recommended to use a compensation capacitor between pins 1 and 8, and to avoid capacitive loads. Additionally, the gain and bandwidth of the op-amp should be carefully selected to avoid oscillations.
• What is the input impedance of the LM211DT?
  The input impedance of the LM211DT is typically around 2MΩ, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• Can I use the LM211DT as a comparator?
  Yes, the LM211DT can be used as a comparator, but it is not recommended due to its limited slew rate and bandwidth. A dedicated comparator IC would be a better choice for most applications.
• How do I protect the LM211DT from overvoltage and ESD?
  To protect the LM211DT from overvoltage and ESD, it is recommended to use voltage limiting resistors, TVS diodes, and/or ESD protection devices at the input pins. Additionally, a bypass capacitor should be used to decouple the power supply.
