The NTE976 is a general purpose operational amplifier with the necessary frequency compensation built into a single 8Lead DIP type package. Advanced processing techniques make the input currents a factor of ten lower than industry standards like the NTE909. Yet, it is a direct plugin replacement for the NTE909 and the NTE941M. This device provides better accuracy and lower noise in high impedance circuitry. The low input currents also make it particularly well suited for long interval integrators or timers, sample and hold circuits, and low frequency waveform generators. Further, replacing circuits where matched transistor pairs buffer the inputs of conventional IC op amps, the NTE976 can give lower offset voltage and drift at a lower cost.
