TL072 as TL071?

Hey people,

short question, I need a tl071, but I just have tl072. Will it work, if I connect it according to the schematic, and put the unused second positive/ negative in & the second out together on ground via a 100n cap?

061 / 071 / 081 = Single
062 / 072 / 082 = Double
064 / 074 / 084 = Quadruple

in one package.... but each op amp inside is identical.

The power supply is one set of pins per IC... shared between multiple dies inside, if it is a multiple version.

Capacitor will be better, less chance of damage to chip.
Like Tom says.
One capacitor for input coupling on a 4440 IC had a dry joint, signal went open, and the IC went into over gain, and died.
So, use a buffer (capacitor).

You can terminate unused channel Like this.
That's exactly what I suggested in Post #2.

There are differences between TL06x, TL07x, and TL08x. The TL06x is 1 MHz versus 3 MHz for the TL07x and TL08x. Also beware that there are new and improved versions of these. TI offers a TL071H, for example which has 5 MHz bandwidth. In most circuits the difference is negligible but there could be applications out there where the difference could mean crappy transient response or instability if you use the faster part.

I like Tl07x & LF35x series very much. They're cheap, not prone to oscillations & provides acceptable performance for line level audio. Opa213x series is a updated equivalent but little bit expensive. Why buy opamps like LME49720/ LM4562 (a 55Mhz part) which isn't necessarily required for audio & if you don't know how to use it properly(NE553x series good enough if noise is your concern).
 
Some of the early opamps are still relevant today. With its low input bias current, the LF357 is a good candidate for a DC servo, for example. Granted the few mV offset isn't stellar by modern standards, but good enough for a power amp for sure.

The NE5532 is pretty hard to beat in a moving magnet phono stage for similar reasons. There are some modern opamps that are better, but they're also 5-60x the price.

That's a gem & very affordable although i yet to use one. I already mentioned it as 553x. Although 22pf is a typical compensation value for 5534 but i stayed away from it because the minimum gain is 5x. OPA2134 & 5532 is good enough for my use.
The last JFET dinosaur i want to try is lf356.

It probably was at its time. There are better options these days. The OPA164x springs to mind. But the NE5534 is every bit as good today as it was when it was released.

It is at 30 Hz and at 1 kHz. It's a bit peculiar because the lower input bias current of the NE5532 should result in less base shot noise, and therefore less white current noise. I guess it has far more 1/f current noise than the NE5534.
I'm not sure I follow. I wonder if you're mixing two noise sources together. 1/f noise (popcorn/flicker noise) and shot noise are caused by two different mechanisms. Shot noise is from the random flow of electrons. 1/f noise is generally from charges getting stuck in impurities in the semiconductor materials and getting released from these traps at random (but generally long) time intervals. It's not clear to me why a device with a higher bias current should also have higher 1/f noise. I haven't looked at the equations in a while, so I could easily be forgetting something.

Any differences in noise between the NE5534 and NE5532 could be due to the decompensation. The lower input bias current of the NE5532 could mean that the input pair runs at a lower tail current. Maybe they made the input devices smaller to save space in the dual. But there are certainly many similarities between the two devices. I haven't traced the schematics line-by-line but they sure look very, very similar with only a few tweaks here and there.

Definitely much better opamps are available today. The problem is most of them available only in SMD & their price is very very high compared to 553x. I mean opamps like Opa1611/12 etc. For general diy'rs Old classics are more than enough.
