The first widely available operational amplifier in the form of an integrated circuit (IC) was the Fairchild μA709 bipolar op-amp, created by Bob Widlar in 1965. The first mass-produced op-amp was the K2-W from GAP/R in January 1953. Operational amplifiers were initially developed in the electronic tube era. Over time, some well-designed op-amp ICs have become extremely popular, including the 324. They require few peripheral components and the delicate problems of polarization of amplifiers made with discrete components are eliminated. Integrated circuits make it possible to manufacture op amps with excellent performance, easy implementation and low cost. Op amps today are almost always found in the form of an integrated circuit, or chip. The operational amplifier (or op-amp) is often considered to be a basic building block of analog electronics.
