TL084IDRE4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum power dissipation of the TL084IDRE4?
  The maximum power dissipation of the TL084IDRE4 is 670mW at 25°C free-air temperature, but it can be derated to 5.6mW/°C above 25°C.
• Can I use the TL084IDRE4 in a high-temperature environment?
  Yes, the TL084IDRE4 is rated for operation from -40°C to 125°C, but the maximum junction temperature is 150°C. Be sure to derate the power dissipation accordingly.
• How do I ensure stability when using the TL084IDRE4 in a unity-gain configuration?
  To ensure stability, add a 10nF to 22nF capacitor between the output and the inverting input (pin 2) to prevent oscillations.
• What is the recommended layout and routing for the TL084IDRE4?
  Keep the input traces short and away from the output traces to minimize noise coupling. Use a ground plane and decouple the power supply with 0.1uF and 10uF capacitors.
• Can I use the TL084IDRE4 as a comparator?
  While possible, it's not recommended to use the TL084IDRE4 as a comparator due to its relatively slow slew rate (0.5V/us) and limited output current (±20mA). Consider a dedicated comparator IC instead.
