The maximum power dissipation of the TL074INE4 is 670mW, which is calculated based on the maximum junction temperature (150°C) and the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (θJA) of 125°C/W.
While the TL074INE4 is rated for operation up to 125°C, it's essential to consider the derating of the maximum power dissipation with temperature. Above 85°C, the maximum power dissipation decreases, and the device may not operate within specifications.
To ensure stability, follow the recommended layout and decoupling guidelines, and use a minimum gain of 5 in non-inverting configurations. Additionally, avoid capacitive loads and use a compensation capacitor if necessary.
The equivalent input noise voltage of the TL074INE4 is 18nV/√Hz at 1kHz, which is a critical parameter for high-gain, low-frequency applications.
While the TL074INE4 can be used as a comparator, it's not recommended due to its relatively slow slew rate (13V/μs) and limited output current (±20mA). A dedicated comparator like the LM339 or LM2901 is a better choice for comparator applications.
