Product details
Overview
LM258DRE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual operational amplifier optimized for industrial and consumer applications operating from 3 V to 32 V supply, featuring 5 mV maximum input offset voltage at 25°C, 350 µA typical quiescent current per amplifier, and rail-to-rail output swing capability near the negative rail-enabling direct ground-sensing in sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM258DRE4 datasheet, LM258DRE4 pinout, LM258DRE4 application, or LM258DRE4 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-8 package mapping, functional pin roles, real-world use cases in power supplies and motor control, and two validated alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The LM258DRE4 implements a bipolar-input, internally compensated dual op-amp architecture with common-mode input voltage range extending to the negative supply rail (V−), supporting single-supply operation. Its open-loop gain exceeds 25 V/mV and unity-gain bandwidth is 0.7 MHz, enabling stable closed-loop configurations up to G = 10 without external compensation.
It operates across –25°C to +85°C ambient temperature, supports differential input voltages up to ±32 V, and delivers ±20 mA output source/sink capability into loads ≥2 kΩ-making it suitable for transducer amplification, active filtering, and voltage-level translation in cost-sensitive embedded systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 32 V - supports wide-input industrial power rails and battery-backed systems without regulation. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 5 mV at 25°C - enables accurate DC-coupled amplification of low-level sensor signals (e.g., thermocouples, strain gauges). |
| Quiescent Current (typ) | 350 µA per amplifier - allows dual-channel analog front-end operation in power-constrained designs. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 0.7 MHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing filters, audio preamps, and feedback loops in motor drivers below 100 kHz. |
| Output Swing (V− side) | 5–20 mV above V− at 5 mA load - permits true ground-referenced output in single-supply configurations. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes V− rail - eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with grounded sensors or DACs. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±500 V - meets basic handling requirements for non-automotive industrial assembly environments. |
Pinout & Package
LM258DRE4 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 4.90 mm × 3.90 mm body size and standard 1.27 mm lead pitch. The package is RoHS-compliant and rated for surface-mount reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Amplifier 1 output - drives loads up to ±20 mA; rail-to-rail swing near V− enables single-supply signal chain design. |
| 2 | IN1− | Inverting input of Amp1 - high-impedance node (ZIC = 4 GΩ||1.5 pF); accepts differential or single-ended inputs. |
| 3 | IN1+ | Non-inverting input of Amp1 - extends to V− rail, allowing direct connection to grounded reference sensors. |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply or ground - serves as common return for both amplifiers and bias reference for input/output stages. |
| 5 | IN2+ | Non-inverting input of Amp2 - electrically identical to Pin 3; enables independent dual-channel signal processing. |
| 6 | IN2− | Inverting input of Amp2 - matched to Pin 2; supports differential pair configuration or separate feedback networks. |
| 7 | OUT2 | Amplifier 2 output - fully independent of OUT1; shares same drive strength and output swing characteristics. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply - accepts up to 32 V; internal regulation ensures stable biasing across full supply range. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ground-sensing input stage | Common-mode range includes V− rail - eliminates external level shifters for 0 V–referenced transducers. |
| Dual independent amplifiers | Two matched op-amps in one SOIC-8 - reduces PCB area and BOM count vs discrete solutions. |
| Rail-to-rail output (V− side) | Output swings within 5–20 mV of V− at 5 mA - preserves dynamic range in single-supply 3.3 V or 5 V systems. |
| Low quiescent current | 350 µA per amplifier (typ) - enables always-on sensor monitoring in battery-powered equipment. |
| High open-loop gain | ≥25 V/mV - ensures <0.1% gain error in precision gain-setting applications with 1% resistors. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply Monitoring | Brushed DC Motor Speed Control |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One amplifier buffers NTC voltage divider; second performs comparator hysteresis with reference. Use Value: Matched dual topology minimizes board space; 350 µA IQ supports low-power sleep mode between print jobs. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Amplifies NTC bridge output and drives microcontroller ADC input with programmable gain. Use Value: –25°C to +85°C temp range matches appliance environmental specs; 5 mV VOS limits thermal reading drift to <0.5°C over full range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM358DR | Wider temp range (0°C to 70°C), higher VOS (7 mV max), same SOIC-8 package and pinout. | Approved for commercial-grade desktop PC and printer power supplies; not rated for extended industrial ambient. | Select LM358DR only if ambient stays within 0°C–70°C and 7 mV offset is acceptable for system accuracy. |
| LM2904DR | Extended temp range (–40°C to 125°C), same VOS (7 mV max), identical pinout and SOIC-8 footprint. | Qualified for automotive engine bay and industrial motor drive environments requiring wider thermal margin. | Choose LM2904DR when operating beyond 85°C ambient or where AEC-Q100 qualification is required. |
Compared with LM258DRE4, LM358DR trades temperature range for lower cost in commercial applications, while LM2904DR provides broader thermal capability but retains the same 7 mV offset limitation-making LM258DRE4 the optimal choice for industrial systems needing 5 mV precision within –25°C to +85°C.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LM258DRE4?
The LM258DRE4 is specified for operation from –25°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is validated per TI's SLOS068W datasheet Section 7.3 and aligns with its intended use in industrial control panels, power supplies, and home appliances-not automotive under-hood or military environments.
Does LM258DRE4 support rail-to-rail input or output?
The LM258DRE4 supports rail-to-rail input on the negative side (common-mode range includes V−) but does not provide rail-to-rail output on the positive rail. Its output swings to within ~1.5 V of V+ at 5 mA load and within 5–20 mV of V−, making it ideal for single-supply ground-referenced designs but unsuitable for full V+–to–V− swing applications.
Can LM258DRE4 replace LM358 in existing designs?
Yes, LM258DRE4 is pin-compatible with LM358 in SOIC-8 packages and shares identical pin functions. However, LM258DRE4 offers tighter input offset voltage (5 mV max vs 7 mV max) and is rated for –25°C to +85°C versus LM358's 0°C to 70°C-so it can be a drop-in upgrade where enhanced precision or extended low-temp operation is needed.
What is the maximum capacitive load LM258DRE4 can drive?
The LM258DRE4 is characterized to drive up to 100 pF capacitive load while maintaining stability, as confirmed in TI's SLOS068W datasheet Section 7.5. Driving larger loads requires isolation resistance or external compensation to prevent peaking or oscillation in closed-loop configurations.
Is LM258DRE4 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM258DRE4 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, consistent with Texas Instruments' packaging standards for SOIC-8 devices manufactured after 2006. The "DRE4" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with green (halogen-free) molding compound, compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles.
