LM741CH single-channel, general-purpose operational amplifier (op-amp) (NOS)

The LM741CH is a single-channel, general-purpose operational amplifier (op-amp) known for its robust and "foolproof" design, which includes built-in overload protection. It is housed in an 8-pin metal can package (TO-99) and is a very common and popular integrated circuit used in a wide range of electronic applications.

Key Specifications

The LM741CH is part of a family of op-amps, and its performance is guaranteed over a specific temperature range. Here are some of its key specifications:

 * Supply Voltage: It can operate with dual supplies ranging from ±5V to ±22V.

 * Operating Temperature Range: The 'C' in the part number indicates a commercial grade, meaning its performance is guaranteed from 0°C to 70°C.

 * Input Offset Voltage: The typical input offset voltage is 2.0 mV, with a maximum of 6.0 mV.

 * Slew Rate: The slew rate is typically 0.5 V/µs, which indicates how quickly the output voltage can change.

 * Gain Bandwidth Product (GBP): The typical GBP is 1.5 MHz.

 * Input Bias Current: The input bias current is typically 80 nA, with a maximum of 500 nA.

 * Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR): The CMRR is typically 90 dB.

 * Overload Protection: A key feature is its internal protection against input and output overloads. It also has no "latch-up" when the common-mode range is exceeded, making it very reliable.
