Can anyone recommend a good general purpose single-supply op-amp? Something better than the old LM324 (which has high input current and noise, plus a flaky output stage)?
This question has come up before (I asked it myself back in 2001) and I've never seen a solid answer. There are a zillion and three single-supply amps out there, most with part numbers long enough to choke a server. Surely *somebody* has something that's a decent middle-of-the-road part, similar to the TL08x or LF35x series for dual supplies. The kind of thing you would stock up on if you were placing an order anyway, just to keep on hand.
Now, I realize there are some specs here that nobody worries too much about for dual-supplies, such as just how close to the rails you can get. That's OK. I'd just like to hear what people are finding useful, to point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
