I want to use your LMV981MU3TBG as a drop in replacement for TI part LMV981RUGR for rail to rail application. I notice on that on your part LMV981MU3TBG both pin 3 and pin 4 are VEE. My question is can I have only pin 3 connected to VEE and have pin 4 no connection? I wonder if that configuration will have any reliability issue long term. Thank you.
As far as reliability. Yes it is better that both pins are connected, but my opinion is that since they are so close to each other that you will not see any difference with pin 4 not connected.
