Q&A Is this AD8307 fake?

I am trying to test a AD8307. Here are my connections: (pins not shown are left unconnected, and also pin 8). I get a quiescent output voltage at pin 4 of about 850 mV with respect to ground, w...

  • **ADDED:**
  • As I wrote, pin 8 is left unconnected. According to the datasheet, the input impedance of the IC is 1 kOhm. I am not working inside a microwave oven or near high voltage sparks, so, I can hardly imagine that the tiny pin 8 acts as an antenna or so to provide such a voltage discrepancy, but to make that sure, I tried to put it in a metal box and that made no difference.

Is this AD8307 fake?
I am trying to test a [AD8307](https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/AD8307.pdf). Here are my connections:

![AD8307](https://electrical.codidact.com/uploads/4cNxJt1Gc5bmUDZxkpxxg3dr)

I get a quiescent output current at pin 4 of about 850 mV, which, to my best understanding, means that the IC is fake. 

What do you think?
