TL074CD datasheet by Texas Instruments

TL074CD Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum power dissipation of the TL074CD?
  The maximum power dissipation of the TL074CD is 670mW, which is calculated based on the maximum junction temperature (TJ) of 150°C and the thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125°C/W.
• Can I use the TL074CD as a comparator?
  While the TL074CD can be used as a comparator, it's not the best choice due to its relatively slow slew rate (13V/μs) and limited bandwidth (3MHz). A dedicated comparator like the LM339 or LM2901 would be a better option.
• How do I ensure stability when using the TL074CD in a feedback loop?
  To ensure stability, make sure to follow proper compensation techniques, such as adding a capacitor in the feedback loop or using a resistor in series with the feedback capacitor. Additionally, ensure that the gain-bandwidth product is not exceeded.
• What is the input impedance of the TL074CD?
  The input impedance of the TL074CD is typically around 2MΩ, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• Can I use the TL074CD in a high-temperature environment?
  The TL074CD is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance may degrade at higher temperatures. If you need to operate in high-temperature environments, consider using a more temperature-stable op-amp like the OPA277 or OPA827.
