7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The LM74 devices are general-purpose operational amplifiers which feature improved performance over industry

standards like the LM709. It is intended for a wide range of analog applications. The high gain and wide range of

operating voltage provide superior performance in integrator, summing amplifier, and general feedback

applications. The LM741 can operate with a single or dual power supply voltage. The LM741 devices are direct,

plug-in replacements for the 709C, LM201, MC1439, and 748 in most applications.

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Overload Protection

The LM741 features overload protection circuitry on the input and output. This prevents possible circuit damage

to the device.

7.3.2 Latch-up Prevention

The LM741 is designed so that there is no latch-up occurrence when the common-mode range is exceeded. This

allows the device to function properly without having to power cycle the device.

7.3.3 Pin-to-Pin Capability

The LM741 is pin-to-pin direct replacements for the LM709C, LM201, MC1439, and LM748 in most applications.

Direct replacement capabilities allows flexibility in design for replacing obsolete parts.
