I would like to challenge that!
Consider something like the 741. In fact, let's consider the single opamp IC family against the 555 family (including 556 and the rest).
I bet you 55x is nowhere as popular as those.
- JKCalhoun 6y agoHonestly, if it's between the 741 and 555, let's just call it a draw and have a drink together. Shall we?
- kjs3 6y agoSkol!
- Sanzig 6y agoThe 741 is obsolete... almost nobody uses it anymore. In terms of a jellybean opamp, I would guess that the LM358 and friends (LM321, LM324, and modernized rail-to-rail CMOS descendants) are quite a bit more popular. The bipolar LM358 family is also pretty much obsolete by modern standards (plenty of nicer rail-to-rail amps available), but you can't beat them on price since they've been second sourced by practically every analog company in the industry.
