The data sheets 99% of the time will tell you all you need to know about how to get a particular part to work and all the rest is just overcomplicating the simple for whatever purpose.If that is not enough both ADI and BB have an extensive app.note library that goes into great detail on layout but guys,it IS just an op-amp !
Has a differential input (what makes it an OP amp and not just amp,feedback !),an output and two power supply pins.All you need do is adress each one in turn and the end result is a usable product be it a 741 opamp or the fastest chip known to mankind.
concentrate on layout and sound design and get the "what is the prettties capacitor" crap and you will in the end have a better sounding project.
I will take a properly designed stage over one with the best (sic) parts but used wrongly every day of the week and that includes leaky ceramics and generic electrolytics over V-caps and Black Gates.
Some files to download.Print them and study them and you will have no fear of the lowly opamp

Thanks.I am gonna go ahead with the mod and add 100nF bypass caps for the opamp(as specified in the datasheet). |
