What it does

The LM741 Operational Amplifier is a general-purpose op-amp for amplification, filtering, and analog signal processing. It has been the standard teaching op-amp for decades and remains useful for basic analog circuit design.

Key features

  • General-purpose op-amp
  • High open-loop gain (~200,000)
  • Wide supply range (±5V to ±18V)
  • Short-circuit protection
  • 8-pin DIP package
  • Offset null capability
  • Low cost and widely available

Good to know

  • 741 requires ± dual supply for many applications
  • Input offset voltage may need nulling for precision circuits
  • Limited bandwidth (1MHz) – not for high-frequency
  • Low slew rate limits large-signal high-frequency performance
  • Modern op-amps (TL071, LM358) outperform 741 in most specs
  • Output cannot reach supply rails (limited output swing)
