The LM108 series are precision operational amplifiers having specifications a factor of ten better than FET amplifiers over a -55°C to +125°C temperature range.

The devices operate with supply voltages from ±2V to ±20V and have sufficient supply rejection to use unregulated supplies. Although the circuit is interchangeable with and uses the same compensation as the LM101A, an alternate compensation scheme can be used to make it particularly insensitive to power supply noise and to make supply bypass capacitors unnecessary.

The low current error of the LM108 series makes possible many designs that are not practical with conventional amplifiers. In fact, it operates from 10 M Ohm source resistances, introducing less error than devices like the 709 with 10 k Ohm sources. Integrators with drifts less than 500 µV/sec and analog time delays in excess of one hour can be made using capacitors no larger than 1 µF.

The LM108 is guaranteed from -55°C to +125°C, the LM208 from -25°C to +85°C, and the LM308 from 0°C to +70°C.
