DESCRIPTION
The^A741 is a high performance operational amplifier with
high open loop gain, internal compensation, high common
mode range and exceptional temperature stability The
pA74l is short-circuit protected and allows for nulling of
offset voltage.
May be replaced
The j£A710 is a High Spaed Differential Voltage Comparator
featuring low offset voltage, high sensitivity and a wide
input voltage range. It is ideally suited for use aa a pulse
height discriminator, an analog comparator or a digital line
receiver. The output structure of the pA710 is compatible
with DTL, TTL and Utilogic infected circuits.

DESCRIPTION
The LM1Q9 and UM309 art complete 5 volt regulators
fabricated on a single silicon chip. These regulators are
designed for local "on card" regulation to eliminate man/
of the noise and ground loop problems associated with
single-point regulation. They employ internal current limit¬
ing, thermal shutdown, and safe-area compensation which
makes the circuitry essentially blow-out proof. If adequate
heat sinking is provided, the devices can deliver output
currents in excess of 200mA from the TQ-5 package, and
1A from the TQ-3 package. In addition to their use as
fined 5 volt regulators, these devices may be used with
external components to obtain adjustable output levels.
They may also be used as the power pass element in
precision regulators.
