Product details
Overview
LM258PT from STMicroelectronics is a low-power dual operational amplifier designed for single-supply operation from 3 V to 30 V, featuring 1.1 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 100 dB large-signal voltage gain, 2 mV input offset voltage (typ.), 20 nA input bias current (typ.), and rail-to-rail output swing down to 0 V. It is widely used in transducer amplification, DC gain blocks, and sensor signal conditioning in industrial control and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM258PT datasheet, LM258PT pinout, LM258PT application, or LM258PT equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40 °C to +105 °C operating temperature range, SO8 package compatibility, single-supply common-mode input range extending to ground, and verified performance at 5 V logic-compatible supply rails.
Technical Context
The LM258PT integrates two independent, internally frequency-compensated op amps with PNP input stages enabling input common-mode voltage down to the negative rail (ground). Its differential input voltage range equals the full supply voltage, supporting robust operation under mismatched input conditions.
It delivers rail-to-rail output swing capability-down to 0 V and up to (VCC – 1.5 V)-and maintains stable 0.6 V/µs slew rate and 0.7–1.1 MHz gain-bandwidth product across 5 V to 30 V supplies, with supply current per channel remaining essentially independent of VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 30 V - supports direct interface with 5 V logic and wide industrial rails without level-shifting. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1.1 MHz (typ.) - enables stable AC-coupled amplification up to ~100 kHz with moderate closed-loop gain. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 2 mV (typ.) - ensures ≤20 mV output error in unity-gain buffer configurations at room temperature. |
| Input Bias Current | 20 nA (typ.) - allows high-impedance sensor interfacing (e.g., thermistors, photodiodes) without significant DC error. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes ground (VCC–) - permits direct connection of single-ended sensors referenced to system ground. |
| Output Voltage Swing | 0 V to (VCC – 1.5 V) - delivers full dynamic range into loads referenced to ground, critical for ADC driver stages. |
| Large-Signal Voltage Gain | 100 dB (typ.) - provides ≥100,000× open-loop gain for precision DC amplification with <0.1% linearity error. |
Pinout & Package
LM258PT is supplied in the TSSOP8 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package, 8-lead) with 0.65 mm pitch, offering compact footprint and improved thermal resistance (RthJA = 120 °C/W) versus SO8.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting input (Amplifier A) | Accepts feedback network connection; sets closed-loop gain polarity and magnitude with external resistors. |
| 2 | Non-inverting input (Amplifier A) | Reference point for differential input signals; must remain within common-mode range (GND to VCC–2 V). |
| 3 | Output (Amplifier A) | Delivers amplified signal; capable of sourcing 40 mA and sinking 20 mA into resistive loads. |
| 4 | VCC– (Ground) | Power reference node; all inputs and outputs are referenced to this pin; must be low-impedance. |
| 5 | Non-inverting input (Amplifier B) | Independent input for second channel; shares same supply and common-mode constraints as Channel A. |
| 6 | Inverting input (Amplifier B) | Supports separate feedback configuration; enables dual-channel signal processing without cross-talk. |
| 7 | Output (Amplifier B) | Second independent output; electrically isolated from Channel A except through shared supply and substrate. |
| 8 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail; accepts 3–30 V DC; internal current regulation ensures stable quiescent draw across voltage range. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated | Eliminates need for external compensation capacitors, reducing BOM count and PCB area in standard gain configurations. |
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Enables direct sensing of signals referenced to ground (e.g., current-sense shunts, thermocouples) without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Low supply current per channel | 1.2 mA max at 25 °C and 5 V supply - supports battery-powered instrumentation with multi-day runtime. |
| Temperature-compensated parameters | Input offset voltage drift ≤15 µV/°C and bias current drift ≤200 pA/°C ensure stable DC accuracy over industrial temperature range. |
| Differential input voltage tolerance | ±32 V - protects against transient overvoltage events exceeding supply rails, enhancing system robustness. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-power op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM358PT | 0–70 °C operating range; higher input offset voltage (2–7 mV); identical pinout and electrical specs otherwise. | Restricted to commercial-grade environments (e.g., consumer electronics, non-critical test equipment). | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature requirement and tighter DC accuracy is not needed. |
| LM2904DT | Automotive-qualified (AEC-Q100); wider -40 to +125 °C range; same SO8/TSSOP8 footprints; slightly higher input bias current (30 nA typ.). | Suitable for automotive body electronics, ADAS sensor interfaces, and harsh-environment industrial controls. | Choose for automotive programs or where extended high-temperature reliability is mandatory. |
Compared with LM358PT and LM2904DT, the LM258PT uniquely balances industrial temperature range (-40 to +105 °C), tight 2 mV offset, and TSSOP8 packaging-making it optimal for space-constrained industrial controllers requiring guaranteed performance beyond commercial grade but below automotive qualification cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for LM258PT?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C, with thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RthJA) rated at 120 °C/W for the TSSOP8 package. Derating is required above 70 °C ambient; continuous operation at full 30 V supply should maintain board-level thermal design to limit Tj below 125 °C for long-term reliability.
Can LM258PT drive a 10 kΩ load to rail in single-supply mode?
Yes: with VCC = 5 V, LM258PT delivers low-level output voltage (VOL) ≤20 mV into 10 kΩ to ground, and high-level output (VOH) ≥3.5 V. This achieves >95% of full-scale swing, enabling direct interfacing with 3.3 V logic and successive-approximation ADCs without external level-shifting.
Does LM258PT support dual-supply operation?
Yes: the device supports split supplies up to ±16 V (total 32 V), with input common-mode range extending from VCC– to (VCC+ – 1.5 V). However, its internal architecture and characterization emphasize single-supply use; dual-supply designs must verify phase reversal immunity and output swing symmetry per application circuit.
Is there a lead-free and RoHS-compliant version of LM258PT?
Yes: LM258PT is manufactured in ST's ECOPACK®2-compliant TSSOP8 package, fully RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The "PT" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with lead-free terminations and conforms to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) for unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60% RH.
