operational amplifier - op amp rail to rail voltage follower latching up



I have selected a TS922 op amp to use in a voltage follower configuration. The specs for the TS922 in summary are:



  • Rail-to-rail input and output

  • Low noise: 9 nV/√Hz

  • Low distortion

  • High output current: 80 mA (able to drive 32 Ω loads)

  • High-speed: 4 MHz, 1 V/μs

  • Operating from 2.7 to 12 V

  • Low input offset voltage: 900 μV max.

  • Latch-up immunity



The voltage follower configuration is


voltage follower


Supply voltage is 5 V.


To test I am using a simple 10k pot arrangement (range v supply to gnd) to apply a voltage to the input (pin 3) with a voltmeter measuring the output on pin 1.


My issue is that the TS922 output latches up to 4.7 V if the input voltage rises above 3.6 V. If the input voltage is less than 3.6 V the TS922 behaves as a voltage follower.


To try to identify why this is happening I have tried:



  • placing a light load (2k resistor) from pin 1 to ground - no effect

  • grounding the inputs to the other dual amp in case there was some interaction - no effect.



Is there something I am missing?? Otherwise I suspect the markings on this device don't match what is inside.


I would ALSO appreciate any advice on other op amps which are close to the TS922. The most important specs are: - single supply 5 V. - rail to rail input/output. - high output current capability > 50 mA.


I know I can search for devices - but I am hoping someone has experience with a device that works well.


Thanks in advance

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
