741 Op-amp Pin Functions

Pin 1 (Offset Null):
Offset nulling, see figure offset nulling. Since the op-amp is the differential type, input offset voltage must be controlled so as to minimize offset. Offset voltage is nulled by application of a voltage of opposite polarity to the ofset. An offset null-adjustment potentiometer may be used to compensate for offset voltage. The null-offset potentiometer also compensates for irregularities in the operational amplifier manufacturing process which may cause an offset. Consequently, the null potentiometer is recommended
for critical applications. See ´Offset Null Adjustment´ for method.

Pin 2 (Inverted Input): All input signals at this pin will be inverted at output pin 6. Pins 2 and 3 are very important (obviously) to get the correct input signals or the op amp can not do its work.
Pin 3 (Non-Inverted Input):
All input signals at this pin will be processed normally without invertion. The rest is the same as pin 2.
Pin 4 (-V):
The V- pin (also referred to as Vss) is the negative supply voltage terminal. Supply-voltage operating range for the 741 is -4.5 volts (minimum) to -18 volts (max), and it is specified for operation between -5 and -15 Vdc. The device will operate essentially the same over this range of voltages without change in timing period. Sensitivity of time interval to supply voltage change is low, typically 0.1% per volt. (Note: Do not confuse the -V with ground).
Pin 5 (Offset Null):
See pin 1, and Fig. offset nulling above.
Pin 6 (Output):
Output signal´s polarity will be the oposite of the input´s when this signal is applied to the op-amp´s inverting input. For example, a sine-wave at the inverting input will output a square-wave in the case of an inverting comparator circuit.
Pin 7 (posV):
The V+ pin (also referred to as Vcc) is the positive supply voltage terminal of the 741 Op-Amp IC. Supply-voltage operating range for the 741 is +4.5 volts (minimum) to +18 volts (maximum), and it is specified for operation between +5 and +15 Vdc. The device will operate essentially the same over this range of voltages without change in timing period. Actually, the most significant operational difference is the output drive capability, which increases for both current and voltage range as the supply voltage is increased. Sensitivity of time interval to supply voltage change is low, typically 0.1% per volt.
Pin 8 (N/C):
The ´N/C´ stands for ´Not Connected´. There is no other explanation. There is nothing connected to this pin, it is just there to make it a standard 8-pin package.
