When it was first introduced in 1968, Fairchild’s 741 op-amp made quite a splash ... The TL081 fared quite a bit better in the same circuit, with slew rates of about 13 V/μS, or about 17 ...

The design is classic and simple: a 5 V regulator IC, a Hall effect sensor, a 741 op amp, and a MOSFET to turn ... of those cases where a simple analog circuit might work better than a digital ...

50 years ago a young Brit joined Fairchild where he was to design one of the most famous ICs ever made – the 741 op amp. Dave Fullagar had been working for the RRE and answered a Transitron ad. Tom ...
