Welcome,

Have you downloaded and studied the data sheet?
After you do, come back and ask about what you dont get.

I've just been using one as it happens.
Its a low noise wideband operational amplifier.
Op amps are more of a concept than a chip, explaining it would take a long time.
Google op amps, that'll give you a good start.

And yes welcome here.

The OP asked how the pins work so I assume he is asking for system level functionality, not an explanation of internal circuitry.

There are lots of tutorials on op amp circuits to review.
