The CA748 is a general-purpose, high-gain operational amplifier for use in military, industrial, and commercial applications. These monolithic silicon integrated-circuit devices provide output short-circuit protection and latch-free operation, feature wide common-mode and differential-mode signal ranges, and have low-offset voltage nulling capability when used with a 5-mega-ohm potentiometer. These devices consist of a differential-input amplifier that effectively drives a gain and level-shifting stage having a complementary emitter-follower output. The CA748C and CA748, which are externally phase compensated (terminals 1 and 8) permit a choice of operation for improved bandwidth and slew-rate capabilities. Unity gain with external phase compensation can be obtained with a single 30-pF capacitor.
