LM358N

The LM358N is a dual operational amplifier (op-amp) IC (integrated circuit) manufactured by STMicroelectronics. Op-amps are widely used in electronic circuits for various signal processing and amplification tasks.

Key Features:

• Type: Dual operational amplifier IC.
• Number of Channels: Contains two independent op-amp circuits in a single package.
• Input Offset Voltage: Specifies the voltage difference required between the inputs to nullify the output offset voltage.
• Input Bias Current: Specifies the average value of the currents flowing into the inputs when no external signals are applied.
• Voltage Gain: Specifies the amplification factor of the op-amp.
• Bandwidth: Specifies the frequency range over which the op-amp can effectively amplify signals.
• Supply Voltage Range: Specifies the range of supply voltages that the op-amp can operate with.
• Package Type: Available in various surface-mount or through-hole packages for flexibility in board design.
• RoHS Compliance: Indicates whether the IC complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, restricting the use of certain hazardous materials.

Applications: 

• Signal conditioning: Amplification, filtering, and level shifting circuits.
• Comparators: Voltage comparators and threshold detectors.
• Oscillators: Relaxation oscillators and waveform generators.
• Voltage followers: Unity gain buffers and impedance matching circuits.
• Instrumentation: Measurement and sensor interface circuits.
• Audio processing: Audio preamplifiers and tone control circuits.
