What's wrong with the 741?
The 071 is also "jellybean" enough; both are still currently used in modern designs because how dirt cheap they are.
But they are "high voltage", non rail-to-rail anything, so people tend to use more modern options for new designs.
741 problems: terrible bias current, offset, input range, output range, power consumption, voltage requirements, GBW, noise.
They’re just horrid. Fine for noddy stuff like power supplies and PID loops etc though.
I don't have any particular problem with it. I majored in EE about 15 years ago, and haven't really looked at op amps since studying the 741. Just curious what's popular these days.
