LM301AExternally compensated operational amplifier
Set the gain. Choose the compensation.
LM301A is a single bipolar operational amplifier with external frequency compensation. Its eight pins provide two inputs, an output, two supply rails and balance/compensation connections. Pin 8 is not a spare pin: the compensation network is part of the circuit design. This page follows onsemi LM301A/D revision 12. It offers the SOIC-8 LM301ADR2G and the documented legacy PDIP-8 LM301ANG; the manufacturer marks the latter discontinued. Both package views keep the same electrical pin numbers. The example uses ±15 V supplies, 30 pF between pins 1 and 8, and a 90 kΩ / 10 kΩ feedback pair. A 0.20 V input gives 2.00 V ideal DC output. The 0 V midpoint is distinct from the negative supply, and real device errors and frequency response must be included in a practical design.
