The 741 Op Amp (and many others) are designed with this feature to ensure that, in typical amplier applications, the overall circuit is stable (and not oscillatory). In other words, the Op Amp has been internally compensated for stability. The gain of the 741 Op Amp can be represented by, A0 A (s ) = , 1 + s /c with A0 105 (i.e., 100 dB), c 2 10 rad/s.
