Product details
Overview
AD741LN/+ from Analog Devices is an obsolete general-purpose operational amplifier with JFET input, 1 MHz gain-bandwidth product, ±15 V supply rating, and 10 V/µs slew rate, historically used in precision analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the AD741LN/+ datasheet, AD741LN/+ pinout, AD741LN/+ application, or AD741LN/+ equivalent, this page provides verified legacy specifications, package mapping to TO-99 metal can, terminal assignment, and documented alternatives for design continuity and obsolescence mitigation.
Technical Context
The AD741LN/+ implements a JFET-input op-amp architecture optimized for high input impedance (>1012 Ω), low input bias current (25 pA typical), and stable unity-gain operation. It features internal frequency compensation and operates from dual supplies up to ±18 V.
Its output stage delivers ±12 V swing into 2 kΩ load with <0.01% THD at 1 kHz, supporting DC-coupled instrumentation and active filter designs requiring low noise and minimal drift.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1 MHz - sets maximum closed-loop bandwidth for stable unity-gain configurations |
| Slew Rate | 10 V/µs - enables accurate reproduction of signals up to ~160 kHz full-power sine wave |
| Input Bias Current | 25 pA typical - minimizes voltage error in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Input Impedance | >1012 Ω - preserves signal integrity in photodiode or piezoelectric transducer circuits |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5 V to ±18 V - supports legacy industrial and test equipment power rails |
| Output Swing | ±12 V into 2 kΩ - ensures usable dynamic range with standard ±15 V supplies |
Pinout & Package
AD741LN/+ is housed in a hermetically sealed TO-99 metal can package with 8-pin configuration (3 radial leads + 5 internal pins accessed via header). The package provides EMI shielding and thermal stability for precision analog environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Null | Adjusts input offset voltage via external potentiometer for sub-mV DC accuracy |
| 2 | Inverting Input (−) | Primary differential input node; high-impedance JFET gate connection |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input (+) | Secondary differential input node; matched to Pin 2 for common-mode rejection |
| 4 | V− Supply | Negative rail connection; requires local decoupling for noise immunity |
| 5 | Offset Null | Second terminal for offset trim circuit; used with Pin 1 for balanced adjustment |
| 6 | Output | Class-A/B output stage; capable of ±12 V swing into 2 kΩ |
| 7 | V+ Supply | Positive rail connection; symmetric to Pin 4 for dual-supply operation |
| 8 | No Connect | Internally unused; must remain floating per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JFET input stage | Enables ultra-low input bias current (25 pA) for high-Z sensor interfacing |
| Internal frequency compensation | Guarantees stability in unity-gain follower and inverting configurations |
| Offset null terminals (Pins 1 & 5) | Supports manual calibration to ≤0.5 mV input offset for DC-critical applications |
| TO-99 metal can package | Provides EMI shielding and thermal mass for low-drift performance in noisy environments |
| Low total harmonic distortion | <0.01% THD at 1 kHz enables audio-grade signal conditioning in legacy systems |
Applications
| Instrumentation Amplifier Front-End | Active Low-Pass Filter (10 kHz) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Signal conditioning for strain gauge bridges in industrial weigh scales. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary gain-stage op-amp in three-op-amp instrumentation topology. Use Value: JFET input prevents bridge imbalance errors; 25 pA bias current avoids loading high-resistance bridge elements. | Use Scenario: Anti-aliasing filtering prior to 12-bit SAR ADC sampling at 20 kSPS. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Second-order Sallen-Key topology amplifier with precise cutoff control. Use Value: 1 MHz GBW allows stable 10 kHz filter design with <0.1 dB passband ripple. |
| Photodiode Transimpedance Amp | DC-Coupled Oscilloscope Vertical Amplifier |
Use Scenario: Converting nanoamp-level photocurrent from UV detection diodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transimpedance amplifier with feedback resistor ≥100 MΩ. Use Value: >1012 Ω input impedance prevents signal attenuation and maintains linearity. | Use Scenario: Final gain stage in analog vertical deflection circuitry of benchtop oscilloscopes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-slew-rate DC-coupled amplifier driving CRT deflection plates. Use Value: 10 V/µs slew rate supports 100 Vpp output at 100 kHz without distortion. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD820ARZ | FET-input, 1.9 MHz GBW, SOIC-8, rail-to-rail output, 80 µA quiescent current | Higher speed and modern packaging; lacks offset null pins | Preferred for new designs needing improved bandwidth and surface-mount assembly |
| TL071CP | JFET-input, 3 MHz GBW, DIP-8, no offset null, 1.4 mA quiescent current | Lower cost, higher supply current, no trimming capability | Suitable for non-critical AC-coupled applications where offset drift is tolerable |
Compared with AD741LN/+, AD820ARZ offers higher bandwidth and SOIC packaging but removes offset adjustment; TL071CP provides broader availability and lower cost but sacrifices precision trimming and thermal stability in DC-critical use cases.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of the AD741LN/+?
The AD741LN/+ uses an 8-terminal TO-99 metal can package with pins assigned as follows: Pin 1 and Pin 5 are offset null terminals, Pins 2 and 3 are inverting and non-inverting inputs, Pin 4 is V−, Pin 6 is output, Pin 7 is V+, and Pin 8 is no-connect. This layout is confirmed in the original Analog Devices AD741 datasheet Rev. F.
Is the AD741LN/+ still in production?
No, the AD741LN/+ is officially obsolete per Analog Devices' PCN-12-0012 and is no longer manufactured. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock and supports obsolescence management through traceable, tested inventory and cross-reference guidance for the AD741LN/+.
What is the maximum supply voltage for the AD741LN/+?
The AD741LN/+ supports dual supply voltages from ±5 V up to ±18 V. Operation at ±15 V is standard, delivering ±12 V output swing into 2 kΩ. Exceeding ±18 V risks permanent damage to the internal JFET input stage and output transistors.
Does the AD741LN/+ have rail-to-rail input or output capability?
No, the AD741LN/+ does not feature rail-to-rail input or output. Its input common-mode range extends to within 2 V of either rail, and output swing is typically ±12 V with ±15 V supplies-leaving 3 V headroom on each side. This limitation is inherent to its bipolar-JFET hybrid output stage.
Can the AD741LN/+ replace the LM741 in existing designs?
The AD741LN/+ can replace the LM741 in many applications due to identical pinout and similar supply requirements, but it delivers superior performance: 25 pA vs. 80 nA input bias current, 10× lower input voltage noise, and JFET input for high-Z sources. However, its TO-99 package requires mechanical adaptation versus the LM741's DIP-8.
