Texas Instruments recommends following good PCB design practices, such as separating analog and digital grounds, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing trace lengths and loops. Additionally, placing decoupling capacitors close to the op-amp's power pins and using a low-ESR capacitor can help reduce noise and EMI.
The gain resistors should be chosen based on the desired gain and bandwidth of the amplifier. A higher gain requires smaller resistors, while a lower gain requires larger resistors. The datasheet provides a gain resistor selection table to help with this process.
The maximum power dissipation of the LMV981IDCKR is dependent on the ambient temperature and the thermal resistance of the package. The datasheet provides a power dissipation calculation formula, which takes into account the supply voltage, output current, and thermal resistance.
Yes, the LMV981IDCKR can be used as a comparator by connecting the output to a pull-up resistor and configuring the input pins as a differential input. The datasheet provides a comparator configuration example and guidelines for selecting the pull-up resistor value.
Texas Instruments recommends following standard ESD handling procedures, such as using an ESD wrist strap or mat, and storing the devices in anti-static packaging. The datasheet also provides information on the device's ESD rating and protection features.
