PRODUCTION DATA
For proper operation, the power supplies must be properly decoupled. For decoupling the supply pins it is suggested that 10-nF capacitors be placed as close as possible to the op-amp power supply pins. For single supply, place a capacitor between V+ and V– supply leads. For dual supplies, place one capacitor between V+ and ground, and one capacitor between V– and ground.
Precautions should be taken to insure that the power supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards in a test socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the internal conductors and result in a destroyed unit.
