The LM358APT from STMicroelectronics is a versatile and widely used operational amplifier (op-amp) that comes in a dual configuration. This integrated circuit is designed to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages, making it an ideal choice for a multitude of electronic applications. Its low power consumption, coupled with its ability to operate at voltages as low as 3V and up to 32V, enables its use in battery-powered devices as well as in more robust electrical systems.

Key Features

• Supply Voltage Range: 3V to 32V for single supply operation, or ±1.5V to ±16V for dual supply operation, giving designers flexibility in various circuit configurations.
• Low Supply Current: The LM358APT is optimized for low supply current, making it suitable for portable and energy-efficient applications.
• Large Output Voltage Swing: This op-amp can output voltages close to the supply voltage levels, maximizing the dynamic range in single-supply applications.
• Input Common-Mode Voltage Range: Includes ground, which is essential for single-supply operation and enables direct sensing near ground.
• Internally Frequency Compensated: The device has internal frequency compensation which ensures stability without external components.
• Differential Input Voltage Range Equal to the Power Supply Voltage: This feature allows for a wide range of input signals.
