National Semiconductor LM118/LM218/LM318 Operational Amplifiers Datasheet
The LM118 series are precision high speed operational amplifiers designed for applications requiring wide bandwidth and high slew rate. They feature a factor of ten increase in speed over general purpose devices without sacrificing DC performance and include internal unity gain frequency compensation to simplify application.
These devices operate from supplies of +5V to +20V and are available in three variants: the LM118 (industrial temperature -55°C to +125°C), the LM218 (-25°C to +85°C), and the LM318 (commercial 0°C to +70°C). They offer features such as input and output overload protection, a guaranteed slew rate of 50V/µs, and small signal bandwidth up to 15 MHz.
