Hi, I'm somewhat new to electronics and I was wondering what the name LM741CN/NOPB means as opposed to LM741CN. Are there any differences between the two and is there a naming convention that is followed? Thanks!
And as everyone allways says, if aren´t looking for an exact replacement, then get something better and newer than this lousy 40 year old sluggish opamp. Like tl071, ne5532 etc.
741 opamps have been used in schools for 45 years. I have never seen one used in a product.
They are slow (poor response above only 9kHz), noisy (hiss in an audio circuit) and have distortion much higher than newer opamps.
39 years ago I tried one in a hearing aid circuit and its performance was so bad that I never used one again.
