The CA3140 is a 4.5MHz, BiMOS Operational Amplifier with MOSFET Input/Bipolar Output that combines the advantages of high voltage PMOS transistors with high voltage bipolar transistors on a single monolithic chip. The IC has a wide range of working voltages and conditions. CA3140 is directly interfaceable with PMOS, NMOS, and TTL devices.

Operational Amplifier
An operational amplifier is a voltage amplifying device; that is designed with the intention to be used with external feedback components such as resistors and capacitors between its I/O terminals. These feedback components determine the resulting function or “operation” of the amplifier and by virtue of the different feedback, configurations whether resistive, capacitive, or both.
