Product Number: AD8531
Hi Dear,
In the ADN2830 datasheet, the AD8531 Op-amp is/can be used as a 2× current multiplier.
In my application, noisy and stringent electrostatic discharge (ESD) conditions may affect the performance of the AD8531.
1- AD8531 SOIC-8 Pins [1, 5, and 8] and
2- ADN2830 pins [3,13,15, 16, 26, 32] are identified as NC (No Connect) in their respective datasheets.
Could you please confirm whether these pins have no internal connection? Is it permissible/safe to connect these NC pins to supply ground or chassis ground for improved ESD robustness? If not, please advise on the recommended way to handle or protect these NC pins in the design.
