Preface

The purpose of this handbook is to provide a fully indexed and cross-referenced collection of linear integrated circuit applications using both monolithic and hybrid circuits.

Individual application notes are normally written to explain the operation and use of one particular device or to detail various methods of accomplishing a given function. The organization of this handbook takes advantage of this innate coherence by keeping each application note intact, arranging them in numerical order, and providing a detailed Subject Index.

Many of the application schematics call out the generic family, identified by either the military temperature range version or commercial temperature range version of the device. Generally, any device in the generic family will work in the circuit. For example, an amplifier indicated as an LM108 refers to the generic "108" family, and does not imply that only military-grade devices will work in the application. Military (or industrial) and prime electrical ("A") grade devices need only be considered when their tighter electrical limits or wider temperature range warrants their use.

The temperature range of linear devices is indicated by either the first digit in the part number, or a letter following the base part number.

Grade	Specified Temperature Range	Part Number
Military	-55°C ≤ TA ≤ +125°C	LMIXXorLMXXXM
Extended	-40°C ≤ TA ≤ +125°C	LMXXXE
Industrial	-25°C ≤ TA ≤ +85°C	LM2XX or LMXXXI
Commercial	0°C ≤ TA ≤ +70°C	LM3XX or LMXXXC
