I messed-up.
I made a pair of clamps to limit the min and max output voltage of a
*precision* programmable current source/sink.I used a pair of diodes and the SO8-packaged dual LM6142: non-inverting inputs to upper/lower limit references; inverting inputs to the node being clamped; diodes between outputs and inverting inputs.
Trouble is, the LM6142 has large input currents when VIN(differential) exceeds a diode drop. So, when my upper clamping limit is 3V and the node is 1V, I get current flowing through the op-amp inputs and my *precision* is wrecked.
Does anybody know a dual op-amp with the standard SO8 pinout that could be a drop-in replacement?
I don't need stellar performance. A few MHz GBW and even uA input bias could salvage the day.
