LM358
LOW POWER DUAL OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS
Description
Pin Assignments
NEW PRODUCT
The LM358 series consists of two independent, high gain,
internally frequency compensated operational amplifiers
which were designed specifically to operate from a single
power supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from
split power supplies is also possible and the low power
supply current drain is independent of the magnitude of the
power supply voltage.
Application areas include transducer amplifiers, dc gain
blocks and all the conventional op amp circuits which now
can be more easily implemented in single power supply
systems. For example, the LM358 series can be directly
operated from the standard +5V power supply voltage which
is used in digital systems and will easily provide the required
interface electronics without requiring an additional ±15V
power supply.

2. For operating at high temperatures, the LM358 must be derated based on a +125°C maximum junction temperature and a
thermal resistance of 189°C/W, which applies for the device soldered in a printed circuit board, operating in a still air ambient. The dissipation is
the total of both amplifiers; use external resistors, where possible, to allow the amplifier to saturate or to reduce the power which is dissipated in
the integrated circuit.
3. Short circuits from the output to V+ can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. When considering short circuits to ground, the
maximum output current is approximately 40mA independent of the magnitude of V+. At values of supply voltage in excess of +15V, continuous
short-circuits can exceed the power dissipation ratings and cause eventual destruction. Destructive dissipation can result from simultaneous
shorts on all amplifiers.
4. This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to the collector-base junction of the input
PNP transistors becoming forward biased and thereby acting as input diode clamps. In addition to this diode action, there is also lateral NPN
parasitic transistor action on the IC chip. This transistor action can cause the output voltages of the op amps to go to the V+ voltage level (or to
ground for a large overdrive) for the time duration that an input is driven negative. This is not destructive and normal output states will re-establish
when the input voltage, which was negative, again returns to a value greater than -0.3V (at 25°C).

5. The LM358 temperature specifications are limited to 0°C < TA < +70°C.
6. VO ≅ 1.4V, RS = 0Ω with V+ from 5V to 30V; and over the full input common-mode range (0V to V+ -1.5V) at 25°C.
7. The direction of the input current is out of the IC due to the PNP input stage. This current is essentially constant, independent of the state of the
output so no loading change exists on the input lines.
8. The input common-mode voltage of either input signal voltage should not be allowed to go negative by more than 0.3V (at25°C). The upper end of
the common-mode voltage range is V+ -1.5V (at 25°C), but either or both inputs can go to +32V without damage, independent of the magnitude of V+.
9. Due to proximity of external components, insure that coupling is not originating via stray capacitance between these external parts. This typically can
be detected as this type of capacitance increases at higher frequencies.
10.Short circuits from the output to V+ can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. When considering short circuits to ground, the output
maximum current is approximately 40mA independent of the magnitude of V+. At values of supply voltage in excess of +15V, continuous shortcircuits can exceed the power dissipation ratings and cause eventual destruction. Destructive dissipation can result from simultaneous shorts on all
amplifiers.

LOW POWER DUAL OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS
Application Information
NEW PRODUCT
The LM358 series are op amps operate with only a single
power supply voltage, have true-differential inputs, and
remain in the linear mode with an input common-mode
voltage of 0 VDC. These amplifiers operate over a wide
range of power supply voltage with little change in
performance characteristics. At 25°C amplifier operation
is possible down to a minimum supply voltage of 2.3 VDC.
Precautions should be taken to insure that the power
supply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed
in polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installed
backwards in a test socket as an unlimited current surge
through the resulting forward diode within the IC could
cause fusing of the internal conductors and result in a
destroyed unit.
Large differential input voltages can be easily
accommodated and, as input differential voltage
protection diodes are not needed, no large input currents
result. The differential input voltage may be larger than
+
V without damaging the device. Protection should be
provided to prevent the input voltages from going
negative more than -0.3 VDC (at 25°C). An input clamp
diode with a resistor to the IC input terminal can be used.
To reduce the power supply current drain, the amplifiers
have a class A output stage for small signal levels which
converts to class B in a large signal mode. This allows
the amplifiers to both source and sink large output
currents. Therefore both NPN and PNP external current
boost transistors can be used to extend the power
capability of the basic amplifiers. The output voltage
needs to raise approximately 1 diode drop above ground
to bias the on-chip vertical PNP transistor for output
current sinking applications.
For AC applications, where the load is capacitively
coupled to the output of the amplifier, a resistor should
be used, from the output of the amplifier to ground to
increase the class A bias current and prevent crossover
LM358
Document number: DS35167 Rev. 2 - 2
distortion. Where the load is directly coupled, as in
DC applications, there is no crossover distortion.
Capacitive loads which are applied directly to the output
of the amplifier reduce the loop stability margin. Values of
50pF can be accommodated using the worst-case noninverting unity gain connection. Large closed loop gains
or resistive isolation should be used if a larger load
capacitance must be driven by the amplifier.
The bias network of the LM358 establishes a drain
current which is independent of the magnitude of the
power supply voltage over the range of 3 VDC to 30 VDC.
Output short circuits either to ground or to the positive
power supply should be of short time duration. Units can
be destroyed, not as a result of the short circuit current
causing metal fusing, but rather due to the large increase
in IC chip dissipation which will cause eventual failure
due to excessive function temperatures. Putting direct
short-circuits on more than one amplifier at a time will
increase the total IC power dissipation to destructive
levels, if not properly protected with external dissipation
limiting resistors in series with the output leads of the
amplifiers. The larger value of output source current
which is available at 25°C provides a larger output
current capability at elevated temperatures (see typical
performance characteristics) than a standard IC op amp.
The circuits presented in the section on typical
applications emphasize operation on only a single power
supply voltage. If complementary power supplies are
available, all of the standard op amp circuits can be
used. In general, introducing a pseudo-ground (a bias
+
voltage reference of V /2) will allow operation above and
below this value in single power supply systems. Many
application circuits are shown which take advantage of
the wide input common-mode voltage range which
