Overview

The LM358N/NOPB is a versatile dual-channel operational amplifier designed for single-supply operation across a wide voltage range of 5V to 30V. This standard general-purpose amplifier features a 1 MHz gain bandwidth product and a low supply current of 1mA, making it a staple for low-power analog signal processing. Its 8-PDIP through-hole package is particularly well-suited for prototyping and educational environments.

Why Choose This Part

This device simplifies power supply requirements by allowing the common-mode range to include ground, eliminating the need for negative rails in many applications. It offers a balance of low input bias current (45 nA) and low input offset voltage (2 mV) at a highly cost-effective price point.

Applications

Active Filters
Implementing low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters for audio or sensor signal cleanup.
4-mA to 20-mA Current Loops
Acting as a transmitter interface in industrial instrumentation for long-distance signal signaling.
General Signal Conditioning
Scaling and buffering analog sensor outputs to match the input requirements of an ADC.
Transducer Amplifiers
Providing high input impedance for piezoelectric or capacitive sensor interfaces.

Getting Started

Because it uses an 8-PDIP package, the LM358N/NOPB can be plugged directly into a standard breadboard or an 8-pin DIP socket. For simulation, most SPICE tools include a generic LM358 model to verify circuit stability and gain characteristics before physical assembly. No specific IDE or toolchain is required as it is a purely analog component.
