Where to use it?
The TL081IC can be used in all those applications requiring a high slew rate, low input bias current and offset voltage and wide bandwidth. As it is an op-amp IC, therefore, it is used in voltage followers, ac to dc conversions, sample and hold circuits, high-speed integrators. It is used for performing mathematical calculations. In addition to all these circuits, our computers, tablets and personal electronics also use this IC. The TL081 is pin to pin compatible with the LM741IC and therefore designers can improve the performance of old LM741 designs.
How to use TL084 JFET Input Op-Amp?
TL081 IC consists of an amplifier inside the IC. Pin 2 is the inverting terminal of the amplifier and pin 3 is the non-inverting terminal. Connect pin 4 to the ground and pin 7 to the positive power supply. It can be used as an inverting or non-inverting amplifier by feeding back output at the input with the help of two resistors.
If the input voltage is supplied at a positive pin, then It behaves as a non-inverting op-amp, and the output voltage will be in a phase of the input voltage. On the other hand, if the input voltage is supplied at the negative pin, the output and input voltages will be out of phase and it will behave as an inverting amplifier. The circuit diagrams of both inverting and non-inverting amplifiers are given below:
