LM358 Dual OP-AMP IC

The LM358 is a widely used integrated circuit containing two independent, high-gain operational amplifiers designed for single or dual power supply operation. With a low input offset voltage (typically 2 mV) and a wide supply voltage range of 3V to 32V (or ±1.5V to ±16V for dual supply), it’s perfect for cost-sensitive projects requiring amplification, buffering, or signal conditioning. The LM358 offers a gain bandwidth product of 1 MHz and a slew rate of 0.3 V/µs, making it suitable for low-frequency applications such as audio preamplifiers, sensor interfaces, and voltage followers. Each op-amp can drive loads with an output swing from 0V to Vcc – 1.5V, and the device operates with a low supply current of 0.7 mA per amplifier. Housed in an 8-pin DIP or SOIC package, the LM358 is a go-to choice for hobbyists and professionals alike in power supplies, motor controls, and instrumentation circuits. Operating temperature range: 0°C to 70°C.
