But these early chips are not that. The 324 has marked crossover distortion and problems with phase reversal, both have severe input and output voltage limitations, etc. Basically, they are a pain to use, especially in single-supply circuits, and there's little reason to keep using them.
- exmadscientist 6mo agoThey're insanely cheap. That's why they sell. They're cheap so the volume is there so they stay cheap. I recall that I needed some 8-pin parts a while back to test something package-related. I looked around for the cheapest part I could find and guess what... it turned out that the 358 was the absolute lowest cost thing in the world in 8 pins. Cheaper even than dummy parts with no silicon in them. That's how cheap they are.
