Description
Each of the devices in this series consists of four indepen-
dent high-gain operational amplifiers that are designed for
single-supply operation. Operation from split power supplies
is also possible and the low power supply drain is indepen-
dent of the magnitude of the power supply voltage.
Used with a dual supply, the circuit will operate over a wide
range of supply voltages. However, a large amount of cross-
over distortion may occur with loads to ground. An external
current-sinking resistor to -V
S
will reduce crossover distor-
tion. There is no crossover distortion problem in
single-supply operation if the load is direct-coupled to
ground.
