Texas Instruments LM741CN Operational Amplifier 1MHz 8-Pin DIP

Texas Instruments LM741CN Operational Amplifier is a general-purpose operational amplifier in an 8-pin plastic dual in-line package, with a unity-gain bandwidth of 1 MHz for analogue circuit designs that require moderate speed and precision.

Overview

The LM741CN offers a unity-gain bandwidth of 1 MHz and a slew rate of 0.5 V/µs. It operates from a supply voltage range of ±10 V to ±18 V, allowing flexibility across different power supply configurations.

Key Features

• Overload protection on both the input and output stages, helping to prevent damage from signal overloads
• Designed to avoid latch-up when the common-mode input range is exceeded
• Freedom from oscillations, which simplifies circuit stabilisation
• 8-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP) for through-hole mounting on prototyping boards or in finished product assemblies
• Pin-compatible replacement for older industry-standard amplifiers, including the LM709, LM201, MC1439 and 748, in most applications

Electrical Characteristics

• Input offset voltage: 2 mV typical at 25°C
• Input voltage range: ±13 V typical
• Common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR): 90 dB (RS ≤ 10 kΩ)
• Supply voltage rejection ratio (SVRR): 96 dB
• Supply current: 1.7 mA typical at 25°C
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to 70

Applications

Typical applications include voltage comparators, multivibrators and oscillators, DC amplification stages, summing and difference amplifiers, integrator and differentiator circuits, and active filter networks. The recorded dimensions are 3.3 (width), 1.5 (depth) and 4.3 (height), with a weight of 0.964 g.

The LM741CN suits analogue circuit designs that call for a classic, general-purpose operational amplifier in a through-hole 8-pin DIP package.
