TL072 drop in substitutes?
(1/3) > >>
theleakydiode:
What are some part numbers of similar op amps I can substitute the TL072 for? I'm following a circuit I found online but don't have any TL072's in my bin, but I do have a random assortment of various other op amps pulled from stuff over the years (I've never really worked with them before).

Its going to be running from a 12v single supply (max, I could drop it via a regulator) buffering an audio signal from a phone and adding a bit of gain before sending it off to the next stage.

Thanks.

Your description of the application do not point to the possibility that input pins will be getting very near or at positive supply voltage Vdd level. Therefore, I think many 8-pin Dual Opamps would do just fine.

If in doubt, post the circuit here.
David Hess:
The TL082 is a direct replacement.  The old LF353 is close also.  In practice, most dual JFET input operational amplifiers will be acceptable.
Zero999:
A schematic would help.

Going by the description of the application, " buffering an audio signal from a phone and adding a bit of gain before sending it off to the next stage", it really isn't critical: the NE5532 or dare I say it, even the crappy old µA741 would probably do. The only op-amp I would stay clear of is the LM358 which has a metric ton of crossover distortion, although that can be mitigated with pull-down resistors, on the output.
SiliconWizard:
Yes don't fret - your application seems absolutely NOT demanding whatsoever. Even an LM358 would be fine. It's a bit crappy distortion-wise, but has still been used in a ton of low-end audio circuits.

The thing to check is that the replacement can be operated at +/-6V (Vcc-Vee = 12V). You didn't exactly say what kind of phone it is, but audio from a phone is not exactly hi-fi anyway.
