The LM747CN is a general-purpose dual operational amplifier featuring two independent op-amps in a single package. The amplifiers share common bias networks and power supply connections while maintaining fully independent operation. This device is designed for a wide range of analog applications requiring high performance and reliability.
Manufactured using a bipolar process, the LM747CN offers excellent performance characteristics while maintaining stability across its operating range. The dual op-amp configuration makes it particularly useful in applications requiring matched amplifier pairs or where board space is at a premium.
The LM747CN is suitable for a wide variety of analog circuit applications including:
The following specifications are typical at VCC = ±15V and TA = 25°C unless otherwise noted:
The LM747CN is available in a standard 14-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) with the following mechanical specifications:
The pinout for the LM747CN is as follows:
When designing with the LM747CN, consider the following guidelines:
Proper power supply decoupling is essential for stable operation. Place 0.1μF ceramic capacitors as close as possible to the power supply pins (pins 4 and 8). For applications with long power supply leads or noisy environments, additional 1-10μF electrolytic capacitors may be required.
Maintain good PCB layout practices to minimize noise and ensure stability:
While the LM747CN has modest power dissipation, thermal management should still be considered in high-temperature environments or when operating near maximum supply voltages. Ensure adequate airflow and consider heat sinking if necessary.
The LM747CN is manufactured under strict quality control standards with the following reliability characteristics:
For applications requiring different specifications or package options, consider these alternatives:
