PRODUCTION DATA
The TLV914x uses a special input architecture to eliminate the requirement for input protection diodes but still provides robust input protection under transient conditions. Figure 6-1 shows conventional input diode protection schemes that are activated by fast transient step responses and introduce signal distortion and settling time delays because of alternate current paths, as shown in Figure 6-2. For low-gain circuits, these fast-ramping input signals forward-bias back-to-back diodes, causing an increase in input current and resulting in extended settling time.
The TLV914x family of operational amplifiers provides a true high-impedance differential input capability for high-voltage applications using a patented input protection architecture that does not introduce additional signal distortion or delayed settling time, making the device an excellent choice op amp for multichannel, high-switched, input applications. The TLV914x tolerates a maximum differential swing (voltage between inverting and noninverting pins of the op amp) of up to 18V, allowing the device to be used in open-loop configurations. See the MUX-Friendly Precision Operational Amplifiers application brief for more information.
