The LM148 series is a true quad 741. It consists of four
independent, high gain, internally compensated, low power
operational amplifiers which have been designed to provide
functional characteristics identical to those of the familiar
741 operational amplifier. In addition the total supply current
for all four amplifiers is comparable to thesupplycurrentofa
single 741 type op amp. Other features include input offset
currents and input bias current which are much less than
those of a standard 741. Also, excellent isolation between
amplifiers has been achieved by independently biasing each
amplifier and using layout techniques which minimize
thermal coupling. The LM149 series has the same features
as the LM148 plus a gain bandwidth product of 4 MHz at a
gain of 5 or greater.
The LM148 canbeused anywhere multiple 741 or 1558 type
amplifiers are being used and in applications where amplifier
matching or high packing density is required. For lower
power refer to LF444.

Application Hints
The LM148 series are quad low power 741 op amps. In the
proliferation of quad op amps, these are the first to offer the

characteristics of the 741 op amp. In those applications
where 741 op amps have been employed, the LM148 series

performance.
The LM149 series has the same characteristics as the
LM148 except it has been decompensated to provide a
wider bandwidth. As a result the part requires a minimum
gain of 5.
The package pin-outs are such that the inverting input of
each amplifier is adjacent to its output. In addition, the
amplifier outputs are located in the corners of the package
which simplifies PC board layout and minimizes package
related capacitive coupling between amplifiers.
The input characteristics of these amplifiers allow differential
input voltages which can exceed the supply voltages. In
addition, if either of the input voltages is within the operating
common-mode range, the phase of the output remains
correct. If the negative limit of the operating common-mode
range is exceeded at both inputs, the output voltage will be
positive. For input voltages which greatly exceed the
maximumsupplyvoltages,eitherdifferentiallyor
common-mode, resistors should be placed in series with the
inputs to limit the current.
Like the LM741, these amplifiers can easily drive a 100 pF
capacitive load throughout the entire dynamic output voltage
and current range. However, if very large capacitive loads
must be driven by a non-inverting unity gain amplifier, a
resistor should be placed between the output (and feedback
connection) and the capacitance to reduce the phase shift
resulting from the capacitive loading.
The output current of each amplifier in the package is limited.
Short circuits from an output to either ground or the power
supplies will not destroy the unit. However, if multiple output
shorts occur simultaneously, the time duration should be
short to prevent the unit from being destroyed as a result of
excessive power dissipation in the IC chip.

Application Hints (Continued)
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken lead dress,
component placement and supply decoupling in order to
ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to an
input should be placed with the body close to the input to
minimize “pickup” and maximize the frequency of the
feedback pole which capacitance from the input to ground
creates.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance

from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC
ground set the frequency of the pole. In many instances the
frequency of this pole is much greater than the expected 3
dB frequency of the closed loop gain and consequently there
is negligible effect on stability margin. However, if the
feedback pole is less than approximately six times the
expected 3 dB frequency a lead capacitor should be placed
from the output to the input of the op amp. The value of the
added capacitor should be such that the RC time constant of
this capacitor and the resistance it parallels is greater than or
equal to the original feedback pole time constant.
