TL084MJB datasheet by Texas Instruments

TL084MJB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum power dissipation of the TL084MJB?
  The maximum power dissipation of the TL084MJB is 670mW at 25°C free-air temperature, and it decreases as the temperature increases.
• Can I use the TL084MJB as a comparator?
  While the TL084MJB can be used as a comparator, it's not the best choice due to its relatively slow slew rate (13V/us) 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 TL084MJB in a feedback loop?
  To ensure stability, make sure to follow proper PCB layout practices, use a low-ESR capacitor for decoupling, and consider adding a compensation capacitor (e.g., 10nF to 100nF) between the output and inverting input pins.
• What is the maximum input voltage range for the TL084MJB?
  The maximum input voltage range for the TL084MJB is from -13.5V to +13.5V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage within ±10V to ensure proper operation.
• Can I use the TL084MJB in a high-temperature environment?
  The TL084MJB is rated for operation from -40°C to +125°C, but its performance may degrade at higher temperatures. Be sure to check the datasheet for temperature-related specifications and consider using a more temperature-stable op-amp if necessary.
