| IC Name | Function | Manufacturer | Notes |
| XR-2206 | Monolithic Function Generator |
EXAR | Generates sine,triangular and square waves Can be used for Pulse width modulation and FSK |
| LM358 | Low Power Dual OP Amps | National | Actually these are just dual 741's, optimized for power saving, and specified for single supply operation. |
| LM324 | Low Power Quad OP Amps | National | These are single supply op amps and really work well in my world where I am interfacing to the digital world. And there are four in a single 14 pin DIP. |
| LM317 | 3-Terminal adjustable Regulator | This regulator is becoming more and more useful over the years and is an excellant IC to work with. | |
| LM3914 | Dot Bar Display Driver | National | Great little IC to make indicators Like my battery monitor. It will drive 10 leds without the hassle of all those resistors and they can be cascaded to get one long row of leds. |
| LM311 | Single Comparator | Single Comparator with strobing and offset balance for that difficult session of getting the right comparison. | |
| LM339 | Quad Comparator | For that bigger job when you need 4 comparators in 14 pin DIP |
