Remark A midpoint potential of V+ and V− is applied to this example.
O Ratings of input/output pin voltage
When the voltage of input/output pin exceeds the absolute maximum rating, it may cause degradation of
characteristics or damages, by a conduction of a parasitic diode within an IC. In addition, when the input pin may be
lower than V−, or the output pin may exceed the power supply voltage, it is recommended to make a clump circuit by
a diode whose forward voltage is low (e.g.: Schottky diode) for protection.
O Range of common-mode input voltage
When the supply voltage does not meet the condition of electrical characteristics, the range of common-mode
input voltage is as follows.
VICM (TYP.): V− to V+ − 1.8 (V) (TA = 25°C)
During designing, temperature characteristics for use with allowance.
O The maximum output voltage
The range of the TYP. value of the maximum output voltage when the supply voltage does not meet the condition
of electrical characteristics is as follows:
VOm+ (TYP.): V+ − 1 (V) (TA = 25°C), VOm− (TYP.): V− + 0.7 (V) (TA = 25°C)
During designing, consider variations in characteristics and temperature characteristics for use with allowance.
In addition, also note that the output voltage range (VOm+ − VOm−) becomes narrow when an output current
increases.
O Operation of output
This IC will not operate an output current sinking when the output voltage is V− + 0.7 V and below. In this situation,
an output voltage and its level approach to the V− side can be improved by connecting the load resistance to an
output pin / V− intermediate by sinking current at the load resistance side. (The effect will differ depending on the
flow of current in the load resistance.)
O Handling of ICs
When stress is added to ICs due to warpage or bending of a board, the characteristic fluctuates due to
piezoelectric effect. Therefore, pay attention to warpage or bending of a board.
