Where to use TL074 IC

TheTL074 is a Quad Package Operational Amplifier, meaning it has four Op-Amps inside it and each Op-Amp can be used independently.

The main distinguishingfeature of the TL074 Op-Ampis that they incorporate high-voltageJFETand bipolar transistors which helps the transistor to have very high input impedance and low bias current. Also this Op-Amp has low noise and harmonic distortion making it an ideal choice for audio pre-amplifiers. So if you are looking for an Op-Amp IC with Quad package and JFET driven then this IC might be the right choice for you

How to use TL074 Op-Amp

TL074 is very similar to the LM324 Op-Amp, they both have four Op-Amps inside them and have the exact same pinouts. However they differ a bit in their characteristics since the TL074 has a JFET inside it. If you are curious to learn about few application circuits of this IC then you can read throughhow LM324 is usedsince both the IC shares the same applications.
