The µA741 device is a operational amplifier featuring offset-voltage null capability.

The high common-mode input voltage range and the absence of latch-up make the amplifier ideal for voltage-follower applications. The device is short-circuit protected and the internal frequency compensation ensures stability without external components. A low-value potentiometer may be connected between the offset null inputs to null out the offset voltage

The μA741 has been a popular operational amplifier for over four decades. Typical open loop gain is 106 dB while driving a 2000-Ω load. Short circuit tolerance, offset voltage trimming, and unity-gain stability makes the μA741 useful for many applications. The µA741C device is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.

The input offset voltage of operational amplifiers (op amps) arises from unavoidable mismatches in the differential input stage of the op-amp circuit caused by mismatched transistor pairs, collector currents, current-gain betas (β), collector or emitter resistors and so forth. The input offset pins allow the designer to adjust for mismatches caused by external circuitry.
