Texas Instruments LM358ADRE4

Overview

LM358ADRE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual general-purpose operational amplifier in SOIC-8 package, featuring rail-to-rail input (common-mode range includes ground), 1.2MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 3mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, and 300µA per amplifier quiescent current. It operates from 3V to 36V single-supply or ±18V dual-supply and is widely deployed in motor control feedback loops, power supply error amplifiers, and sensor signal conditioning circuits.

For engineers reviewing the LM358ADRE4 datasheet, LM358ADRE4 pinout, LM358ADRE4 application, or LM358ADRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ground-sensing input capability, low-power operation across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), EMI/RF filtering, and compatibility with cost-sensitive analog front-ends requiring dual op-amp integration without external compensation.

Technical Context

The LM358ADRE4 implements two independent high-voltage voltage-feedback op-amps in a single monolithic IC, each with internally compensated dominant-pole architecture enabling unity-gain stability. Its input stage uses PNP differential pairs, allowing common-mode voltage to extend to the negative rail - critical for single-supply transducer interfacing.

Output stage employs Class AB push-pull configuration with short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown. The device supports capacitive loads up to 100pF and delivers ±20mA output current while maintaining phase margin ≥56° under standard test conditions (G = +1, RL = 10kΩ, CL = 20pF).

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

FAQ

What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM358ADRE4?

The LM358ADRE4 supports a maximum supply voltage of 36V across V+ and V– terminals, or ±18V in dual-supply configuration. This rating is absolute maximum and applies across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Exceeding this limit risks permanent damage. For reliable operation, TI recommends staying within 3V to 36V for single-supply use, with derating advised above 30V in high-temperature environments.

Does LM358ADRE4 support rail-to-rail output swing?

No, LM358ADRE4 does not provide rail-to-rail output swing. Its output can swing to within approximately 1.4V of V+ and 150mV of V– at 1mA load. At lighter loads (50µA), swing improves to 1.35V from V+ and 100mV from V–. This limitation is inherent to its Class AB output stage and must be accounted for in 5V or 3.3V systems where headroom is constrained.

Can LM358ADRE4 drive capacitive loads?

Yes, LM358ADRE4 is characterized to drive capacitive loads up to 100pF while maintaining stability and phase margin ≥56° under standard test conditions (G = +1, RL = 10kΩ). Driving larger capacitive loads (e.g., cables or ADC input capacitance) may require isolation resistors or external compensation to prevent peaking or oscillation.

Is LM358ADRE4 pin-compatible with older LM358 variants?

Yes, LM358ADRE4 is fully pin-compatible with all standard LM358-series SOIC-8 variants including LM358DR, LM358P, and LM358M. The pinout matches JEDEC MS-012AC, and PCB layouts designed for those parts require no modification. However, differences in EMI filtering, offset voltage distribution, and quiescent current mean electrical behavior may vary slightly in noise-sensitive or low-power applications.

What is the input bias current specification for LM358ADRE4?

The LM358ADRE4 has a typical input bias current of –10nA and a maximum of –35nA at 25°C, with –50nA maximum across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This low bias current minimizes voltage errors in high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., photodiode transimpedance amplifiers) and reduces loading on passive RC filters in signal chains.
