DESCRIPTION

Pentawatt V

The L165 is a monolithic integrated circuit in Pentawatt package, intended for use as power operational amplifier in a wide range of applications,
including servo amplifiers and power supplies. The
high gain and high output power capability provide
superiore performance wherever an operational
amplifier/power booster combination is required.
