TLC3702CDRG4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

TLC3702CDRG4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for TLC3702CDRG4?
  The recommended operating voltage range for TLC3702CDRG4 is 4.5V to 16V. However, it can operate up to 18V with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure the TLC3702CDRG4 is properly biased for optimal performance?
  To ensure proper biasing, connect the VCC pin to a stable voltage source, and decouple it with a 0.1uF capacitor to ground. Also, connect the VREF pin to a stable voltage reference or to VCC through a resistor divider.
• What is the maximum output current of the TLC3702CDRG4?
  The maximum output current of the TLC3702CDRG4 is 20mA per channel. Exceeding this limit may cause the device to overheat or malfunction.
• How do I handle the TLC3702CDRG4's output stage during power-up and power-down?
  During power-up and power-down, the TLC3702CDRG4's output stage can be in an undefined state. To avoid this, use an external pull-down resistor or a voltage clamp to ensure the output is in a defined state.
• Can I use the TLC3702CDRG4 as a comparator?
  Yes, the TLC3702CDRG4 can be used as a comparator. However, it's essential to note that the device is optimized for op-amp applications, and its comparator performance may not be as good as a dedicated comparator IC.
