TL074 is a JFET-input quad operational amplifier monolithic integrated circuit. This op-amp IC contains four OP-AMPs. It consists of high voltage junction field-effect transistors (JFETs) and Bi-polar junction transistors (BJTs). In addition, Input bias and bias currents are low. On the contrary, the slew rate is very high. TL074 is highly recommended for audio pre-amplification as it has low noise and low harmonic distortion. Most importantly, input offset adjustment is possible externally making use of the specific circuits. Furthermore, frequency compensation is possible internally and the operation of TL074 is rendered as latch-up-free. TL071 and TL072 are the single and dual OP-AMP versions of the TL07X family.
