Op-Amp - NE5534, Single, Low Noise, Audio, 8-Pin DIP
NE5534 single op amp in an 8-pin DIP package. The NE5534 device is a high-performance operational amplifier combining excellent dc and ac characteristics. Some of the features include very low noise, high output-drive capability, high unity-gain and maximum-output-swing bandwidths, low distortion, and high slew rate. These operational amplifiers are compensated internally for a gain equal to or greater than three. Optimization of the frequency response for various applications can be obtained by use of an external compensation capacitor between COMP and COMP/BAL.
