LMC660AIM datasheet by Texas Instruments

LMC660AIM Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the LMC660AIM?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the LMC660AIM is 4.5V to 15.5V.
• How do I ensure stability in the LMC660AIM op-amp?
  To ensure stability, it is recommended to use a compensation capacitor (Cc) between pins 1 and 8, and to keep the gain-setting resistors (Rf and Rg) as close to the op-amp as possible.
• What is the maximum power dissipation for the LMC660AIM?
  The maximum power dissipation for the LMC660AIM is 1.4W, and it is recommended to keep the junction temperature below 150°C to ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use the LMC660AIM as a comparator?
  While the LMC660AIM can be used as a comparator, it is not recommended due to its op-amp architecture. Texas Instruments recommends using a dedicated comparator like the LM339 or LM393 for comparator applications.
• How do I reduce noise in my circuit when using the LMC660AIM?
  To reduce noise, use a low-pass filter at the input, keep the input traces short and away from noise sources, and use a decoupling capacitor (e.g., 0.1uF) between the power supply pins (V+ and V-) and ground.
