The LH0042 is a FET input operational amplifier with very
high input impedance and low input currents with no compromise in noise, common mode rejection ratio, open loop
gain, or slew rate. The LH0042 is internally compensated
and is free of latch-up.
The LH0042 is specified for operation over the
a
125§C military temperature range. The LH0042C is specified for operation over the
range.
