A741Y chip information

This chip, when properly assembled, displays characteristics similar to the A741C. Thermal compression or
ultrasonic bonding may be used on the doped-aluminum bonding pads. Chips may be mounted with conductive

Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating conditions is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. All voltage values, unless otherwise noted, are with respect to the midpoint between V CC+ and VCC .
2. Differential voltages are at IN+ with respect to IN .
3. The magnitude of the input voltage must never exceed the magnitude of the supply voltage or 15 V, whichever is less.
4. The output may be shorted to ground or either power supply. For the A741M only, the unlimited duration of the short circuit applies
at (or below) 125C case temperature or 75C free-air temperature.
