Product details
Overview
LM1458 MWC from Texas Instruments is a dual general-purpose operational amplifier with independent amplifier sections sharing common bias and supply leads, ±18V maximum supply voltage, 0°C to +70°C operating temperature range, and 5.0 mA typical supply current per amplifier pair - used in analog signal conditioning, sensor interface, and industrial control feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the LM1458 MWC datasheet, LM1458 MWC pinout, LM1458 MWC application, or LM1458 MWC equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (TO-99 metal can), confirmed electrical parameters (input offset voltage ≤6.0 mV, large-signal voltage gain ≥25 V/mV), thermal limits (100°C max junction), and real-world substitution guidance for legacy dual op-amp designs.
Technical Context
The LM1458 MWC implements two fully independent high-gain DC-coupled amplifiers on a single silicon die, with shared power rails and bias network but no internal coupling between channels. Its architecture supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range up to ±12 V with ±15 V supplies and provides short-circuit protected outputs capable of continuous drive into 2 kΩ loads.
It requires no external frequency compensation due to internal dominant-pole compensation, delivering stable unity-gain operation. Input stage uses bipolar transistor pairs yielding 0.3–1.0 MΩ input resistance, 200–500 nA input bias current, and 80–200 nA input offset current - suitable for medium-impedance source interfacing without significant error drift.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | ±18 V maximum - defines absolute rail limit before damage; design must stay within ±15 V for guaranteed specs. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - commercial-grade rating; not qualified for extended industrial or automotive ambient ranges. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤6.0 mV at TA = 25°C - sets worst-case DC error in precision DC-coupled gain stages. |
| Large-Signal Voltage Gain | ≥25 V/mV (25,000 V/V) at RL ≥2 kΩ - ensures usable open-loop gain for stable closed-loop configurations down to ~10× gain. |
| Output Voltage Swing | ±10 V into 2 kΩ load - determines dynamic range available for driving downstream circuitry with minimal clipping. |
| Supply Current (both amps) | 5.6 mA maximum at ±15 V - enables low-power analog subsystems where total quiescent draw must remain under 6 mA. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 70 dB minimum - suppresses noise coupled equally to both inputs, critical in noisy industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
LM1458 MWC is supplied in an 8-lead TO-99 metal-can package (package number LMC), hermetically sealed with glass-to-metal feedthroughs and internally bonded die. The can body serves as the exposed thermal path and electrical ground reference point.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Amplifier A) | High-impedance differential input node; connects to feedback network in inverting configurations. |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (Amplifier A) | High-impedance differential input node; referenced to system ground or bias voltage in non-inverting setups. |
| 3 | Output (Amplifier A) | Class-AB output stage capable of ±10 V swing into 2 kΩ; short-circuit protected for robustness. |
| 4 | Negative Supply (V−) | Common return for both amplifiers; must be connected to system negative rail or ground depending on configuration. |
| 5 | Non-Inverting Input (Amplifier B) | Independent second input channel; electrically isolated from Amplifier A except via shared supply and bias. |
| 6 | Inverting Input (Amplifier B) | Second differential input; used for dual-channel signal processing such as instrumentation front-ends. |
| 7 | Output (Amplifier B) | Second buffered output; identical performance to Pin 3; enables dual-path analog processing without cross-talk. |
| 8 | Positive Supply (V+) | Common positive rail connection; ties both amplifiers to same supply; decoupling capacitor required near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external frequency compensation required | Internally compensated for unity-gain stability - eliminates need for external capacitor, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM count. |
| Short-circuit protection | Output stages limit current during fault conditions - prevents device destruction when driving capacitive loads or accidental shorts. |
| Wide common-mode input range | Accepts inputs up to ±12 V with ±15 V supplies - supports direct interfacing with sensors operating near supply rails. |
| Independent amplifier operation | Two fully isolated gain blocks share only bias and supply - enables simultaneous processing of unrelated signals without crosstalk. |
| Low-power consumption | 5.6 mA max total supply current - allows use in battery-powered or thermally constrained systems where heat dissipation is limited. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Legacy Audio Pre-Amplification |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM1458N/NOPB | Same core die, but in 8-pin PDIP plastic package; higher thermal resistance (187°C/W junction-to-ambient); 400 mW max power dissipation. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping and low-volume production where reflow compatibility is not required. | Select LM1458N/NOPB when board assembly uses wave soldering or hand-soldering and thermal margin exceeds 40°C above ambient. |
| LM2458M/NOPB | Improved version with lower input offset voltage (≤3 mV), wider temp range (−25°C to +85°C), and SOIC-8 packaging; RoHS-compliant SN lead finish. | Suitable for new designs requiring enhanced DC accuracy and surface-mount compatibility without redesigning footprint. | Choose LM2458M/NOPB for upgrades where tighter offset spec and modern packaging are needed, accepting minor cost increase and different pinout. |
Compared with LM1458N/NOPB, LM1458 MWC offers superior thermal performance in metal-can form but lacks RoHS compliance; versus LM2458M/NOPB, it trades modern process benefits for legacy reliability in harsh EMI environments - selection depends on thermal, regulatory, and mechanical constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for LM1458 MWC?
The LM1458 MWC has a maximum junction temperature of 100°C. This limit is defined by its TO-99 metal-can package and internal thermal resistance characteristics. Operation beyond this temperature risks parametric shift or permanent failure. Derating is required above 70°C ambient - for example, at 85°C ambient, power dissipation must be reduced to maintain junction temperature ≤100°C. The LM1458 MWC datasheet specifies thermal resistance as 20°C/W junction-to-case, enabling heatsink-based thermal management in high-load applications.
Does LM1458 MWC support rail-to-rail input or output operation?
No, LM1458 MWC does not support rail-to-rail input or output operation. Its input common-mode range extends to ±12 V with ±15 V supplies, and output swing reaches ±10 V into 2 kΩ - leaving at least 2 V headroom from each rail. This limitation arises from its bipolar input stage and class-AB output topology. For applications requiring full rail utilization, designers should consider modern rail-to-rail alternatives like TLV2462 or MCP6022, though these differ in pinout, supply range, and temperature grading from LM1458 MWC.
Can LM1458 MWC replace LM1558H in existing designs?
LM1458 MWC cannot directly replace LM1558H without validation. While functionally identical, LM1558H is rated for −55°C to +125°C and packaged in TO-99 with 500 mW power dissipation, whereas LM1458 MWC is rated 0°C to +70°C with 500 mW rating but different internal thermal limits (100°C max junction vs. 150°C for LM1558H). Substitution may cause thermal failure in high-ambient or high-dissipation scenarios. LM1458 MWC is appropriate only where ambient stays below 70°C and power remains within derated limits.
What is the ESD tolerance of LM1458 MWC, and how should it be handled?
The LM1458 MWC has a human-body-model ESD tolerance of 300 V, indicating moderate sensitivity. During handling and storage, leads must be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam to prevent electrostatic discharge damage to internal MOS gates. Board-level design should include transient suppression on input/output lines, especially in industrial environments with high static potential. Unlike modern ESD-hardened op-amps (e.g., TLV27x series with >2 kV HBM), LM1458 MWC requires strict adherence to anti-static protocols throughout manufacturing and field service.
Is LM1458 MWC RoHS compliant?
No, LM1458 MWC is not RoHS compliant. According to TI's Packaging Information Addendum, LM1458 MWC is marked "WAFERSALE (YS) | 0" with no RoHS designation - indicating it contains lead in the TO-99 package construction and internal interconnects. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consider LM1458N/NOPB (PDIP, lead-free finish) or LM2458M/NOPB (SOIC, SN lead finish). LM1458 MWC remains suitable for legacy repair, military/aerospace exempt applications, or regions without RoHS enforcement.
