Cross-over Distortion: The LM614 has lower cross-over

distortion (a 1 V

LM124), and increased slew rate as shown in the char-

acteristic curves. A resistor pull-up or pull-down will force

class-A operation with only the PNP or NPN output tran-

sistor conducting, eliminating cross-over distortion

3.

Capacitive Drive: Limited by the output pole caused by

the output resistance driving capacitive loads, a

pull-down resistor conducting 1 mA or more reduces the

output stage NPN r

the current limit 25

Ω. 200 pF may then be driven without

oscillation.

Op Amp Input Stage

The lateral PNP input transistors, unlike most op amps, have

BV

they have no diode clamps to the positive supply nor across

the inputs. These features make the inputs look like high im-

pedances to input sources producing large differential and

common-mode voltages.
