Hi audioguru,
Sure, and actually i think i was the first one who informed this board of the news as soon as i got it myself
Other company data sheets, more recent, should show the 5ma figure too, such as STMicroelectronics, so i tend to suspect TI is trying to make "its" product look better. Did they really make improvements in the design such that 2.5ma is ok now? I seriously doubt it, and even if they did im sure we would also be using the other companies parts sooner or later too so we'd have to respect the older standard of 5ma.
Maybe TI did their own testing/data compilation and decided to change the standard because a large percentage of devices worked ok at 2.5ma min over the entire differential voltage range.
