Which op-amp is described as the 'industry standard for many years' with internal compensation and was introduced by Fairchild?
Explanation
The Fairchild µA741 (commonly known as the 741) became the industry standard because it was the first widely adopted, easy-to-use op-amp with internal frequency compensation. This meant it was stable without requiring external capacitors, simplifying circuit design significantly compared to its predecessors like the 301 and 709.
