General-purpose op amps for applications where a weak signal is used to drive high current load

Available from Digi-Key, Texas Instruments' µA741 device is a general-purpose operational amplifier featuring offset-voltage null capability. The high common-mode input voltage range and the absence of latch-up make the amplifier ideal for voltage-follower applications. The device is short-circuit protected and the internal frequency compensation ensures stability without external components. A low-value potentiometer may be connected between the offset null inputs to null out the offset voltage. The device is characterised for operation from 0C to 70C.
