One of the reasons op amps are so useful, is that they can One of the reasons op amps are so useful, is that they can be operated from a wide variety of power supply voltages.be operated from a wide variety of power supply voltages.

The 741 op amp can be operated from bipolar supplies The 741 op amp can be operated from bipolar supplies ranging from ranging from 5V to 5V to 18V with out too many changes to the 18V with out too many changes to the
