1. UA741CP chip information

After a meticulous assembly process, this chip shows similar performance to the UA741C. It is compatible with doped aluminum bonding pads for stable connections via thermal compression or ultrasonic bonding.

2. Device function mode

After connecting the power supply, the UA741CP device starts automatically. The device operates as a single-supply or dual-supply op amp to meet the needs of different applications.

3. Conversion rate

Slew rate is an important specification for an op amp. It indicates how quickly the op amp can change the output voltage when the input voltage changes. For the UA741CP device, the slew rate is as high as 0.5 V/μs, which means that it can respond to the input signal in a very short time and output the corresponding voltage change.

4. Offset-voltage null capability

The input offset voltage of operational amplifiers is caused by unavoidable mismatches in the differential input stages of the circuit. These mismatch factors include mismatched transistor pairs, collector current, current gain beta (β), collector or emitter resistance, etc. The input offset pin is a means for designers to adjust for mismatches caused by external circuitry. By using the input offset pin, designers can effectively reduce the impact of input offset voltage on amplifier performance and improve amplifier stability and accuracy.

The UA741CP is 9.81 mm long, 6.35 mm wide, and 4.57 mm high. It is packaged in PDIP, which has excellent electrical and thermal properties and is easy to implement automated production.
