External components are used to frequency compensate
the amplifier. Although the unity-gain compensation network
specified will make the amplifier unconditionally stable in all
feedback configurations, compensation can be tailored to
optimize high-frequency performance for any gain setting.
The LM709C is the commercial-industrial version of the
LM709. It is identical to the LM709 except that it is specified
for operation from 0§C to a70§C.
