LM748 Operational Amplifier
General Description
The LM748 is a general purpose operational amplifier with
external frequency compensation.
The unity-gain compensation specified makes the circuit
stable for all feedback configurations, even with capacitive
loads. It is possible to optimize compensation for best high
frequency performance at any gain. As a comparator, the
output can be clamped at any desired level to make it compatible with logic circuits.
The LM748C is specified for operation over the 0
