Product Overview
Motorola LM358N integrates two independent, high-gain, internally frequency-compensated operational amplifiers onto a single monolithic chip. Designed specifically to operate from a single power supply over a wide voltage range of 3V to 32V, it also supports split-supply operation from ±1.5V to ±16V without requiring dual rail supplies.
Key Features
- Dual independent operational amplifier channels in an 8-pin plastic DIP package
- Wide single-supply voltage range from 3V to 32V
- Split-supply operation supported from ±1.5V to ±16V
- Internal frequency compensation implemented on-chip
- Large DC voltage gain of 100 dB
- Low supply current drain of 500 µA typical, essentially independent of supply voltage
- Input common-mode voltage range includes ground
- Standard 0.1-inch through-hole pin spacing suitable for breadboards and sockets
Applications
- Building active filters, summing amplifiers, and analog sensor signal conditioning stages
- Prototyping single-rail comparator and voltage follower circuits on solderless breadboards
- Repairing legacy industrial control boards and vintage audio equipment requiring through-hole DIP-8 op-amps
- Implementing transducer amplifiers in low-voltage microcontroller and robotics projects
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this LM358N operate from a single DC power rail?
Yes. The LM358N is specifically designed for single-supply operation between 3V and 32V, with the common-mode input range including ground. It can also operate from dual balanced supplies between ±1.5V and ±16V.
Are these through-hole chips compatible with standard IC sockets and solderless breadboards?
Yes. The DIP-8 (dual in-line package) features standard 0.1-inch (2.54 mm) lead pitch and 0.3-inch row spacing, fitting directly into breadboards, perforated prototyping boards, and 8-pin DIP sockets.
Why buy individual Motorola LM358N op-amps instead of a bulk surplus lot?
Buying individually lets you purchase the exact count needed for a repair or build without paying for surplus lots filled with mixed date codes or untested components. Each chip is verified unused stock from genuine Motorola production with date code 9647. More pieces cost less each, and the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs. Orders ship for an $8 flat rate, ship free once the order reaches $28, and leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
A workhorse dual op-amp from Motorola's 1996 line that solved the single-supply problem for an entire generation of engineers. Plug it into your breadboard or repair socket and let two clean analog stages do the heavy lifting.
