LM759/LM77000
Power Operational Amplifiers
General Description Features
The LM759 and LM77000 are high performance operational Y Output current
amplifiers that feature high output current capability. The LM759Ð325 mA minimum
LM759 is capable of providing 325 mA and the LM77000 LM77000Ð250 mA minimum
providing 250 mA. Both amplifiers feature small signal char- Y Internal short circuit current limiting
acteristics that are better than the LM741. The amplifiers Y Internal thermal overload protection
are designed to operate from a single or dual power supply Y Internal output transistors safe-area protection
with an input common mode range that includes the nega- Y Input common mode voltage range includes ground or
tive supply. The high gain and high output power provide negative supply
superior performance. Internal current limiting, thermal shut-
down, and safe area compensation are employed making
the LM759 and LM77000 essentially indestructible.
