LM358
Industry-standard dual op-amp with low power consumption and wide supply voltage range for general-purpose applications.
Product Overview
Description
The LM358 is a low power dual operational amplifier designed for general-purpose applications. It features a wide supply voltage range and low power consumption.
This device consists of two independent, high-gain, internally frequency-compensated operational amplifiers designed specifically for operation from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages.
The LM358 is one of the most widely used operational amplifiers in the industry, suitable for transducer amplifiers, DC gain blocks, and all conventional op-amp circuits.
With its low supply current and ability to operate with the input common-mode voltage at ground, the LM358 is ideal for battery-powered applications.
