TL072ID Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum power supply voltage that can be applied to the TL072ID?
  The maximum power supply voltage that can be applied to the TL072ID is ±18V, but it's recommended to operate within ±15V for optimal performance and reliability.
• Can I use the TL072ID as a single-supply op-amp?
  Yes, the TL072ID can be used as a single-supply op-amp, but the input common-mode voltage range is limited to VCC-2V to VCC+2V. Additionally, the output voltage swing will be reduced when operating from a single supply.
• What is the minimum output current that the TL072ID can source or sink?
  The TL072ID can source or sink up to 10mA of output current, but it's recommended to limit the output current to 5mA for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How do I ensure stability when using the TL072ID in a feedback loop?
  To ensure stability, it's essential to follow proper PCB layout practices, use a bypass capacitor (e.g., 10nF) between the power supply pins, and avoid using long traces or wires in the feedback loop. Additionally, consider adding a compensation capacitor (e.g., 10pF) between the output and the inverting input to improve stability.
• Can I use the TL072ID in a high-temperature environment?
  The TL072ID is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance and reliability may degrade at high temperatures. It's essential to consider the operating temperature range and potential thermal issues when designing with the TL072ID.
