National Semiconductor LM221 LM321 Precision Preamplifiers Data Sheet User Manual
Summary
These high-precision preamplifiers (LM221/LM321) are essential components for building accurate DC measurement systems requiring minimal drift and excellent Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR). Featuring programmable operating currents up to 200mA, ultra-low offset voltage, and robust supply rejection, they outperform general op-amps. This datasheet provides comprehensive electrical characteristics, absolute maximum ratings, temperature specifications, and detailed guidance for applications including instrumentation amplifiers, thermocouple circuits, and strain gauge monitoring, making it ideal for advanced electronics designers.
