    AD OP-27 is a low-level precision amplifier, in which an ultra low input voltage noise enhances the low frequency voltage inputs. The significant feature of AD OP-27 is that it can maintain the high the DC accuracy over a specified extended temperature range because of an ultra-low offset voltage, drift in offset voltage as well as input bias current.

    As AD OP-27 op-amp possesses the voltage drift of about 0.2 µV/C in addition to low noise precision, it provides an optimum suitability for instrumentation as well as differential amplifiers for low level applications.

    Apart from these, AD OP-27 op-amp exhibits better performance with peak-to-peak noise of only 80 nV especially when it is used with proper circuit layout.

    µA748 is similar to µA741 with slight modifications while LM318 is a high speed precision op-amp especially designed for wider bandwidth and high slew rate applications.
