The CA1458, CA1558 (dual types); CA741C, CA741 (single types); high-gain operational amplifiers for use in military, industrial, and commercial applications. These monolithic silicon integrated circuit devices provide output short circuit protection and latch-free operation. These types also feature wide common mode and differential mode signal ranges and have low offset voltage nulling capability when used with an appropriately valued potentiometer. A 10k potentiometer is used for offset nulling types CA741C, CA741 (see Figure 1). Types CA1458, CA1558 have no specific terminals for offset nulling. Each type consists of a differential input amplifier that effectively drives a gain and level shifting stage having a complementary emitter follower output.
