RC4136 Versus LM324
Although the LM324 is an excellent device for single-supply
applications where ground sensing is important, it is a poor
substitute for four 741s in split supply circuits. The simpli-
fied input circuit of the RC4136 exhibits much lower noise
than that of the LM324 and exhibits no crossover distortion
as compared with the LM324 (see Figure 16). The LM324
shows significant crossover distortion and pulse delay in
attempting to handle a large signal input pulse.
