Overview
The MC3403PG is a low-cost, quad operational amplifier produced by ON Semiconductor. It features true differential inputs and is designed for single supply and split supply operations. The device is similar in performance to the popular MC1741C but offers several distinct advantages, including lower quiescent currents and a wider range of supply voltages (3.0 V to 36 V for single supply and ±1.5 V to ±18 V for split supplies). This makes it highly versatile for various applications where operational amplifiers are required.
