Product details
Overview
LM358APE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual general-purpose operational amplifier in 8-pin PDIP package, featuring rail-to-rail input (common-mode range includes ground), 36V max supply voltage, 0.7MHz gain-bandwidth product, and 3mV max input offset voltage at 25°C. It operates across 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature and is widely used in power supply feedback loops, sensor signal conditioning, and motor control interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM358APE4 datasheet, LM358APE4 pinout, LM358APE4 application, or LM358APE4 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, validated SOIC-8 and PDIP-8 pin mapping, real-world use cases in AC/DC converters and appliance control boards, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented parameter and temperature-range differences.
Technical Context
The LM358APE4 implements a bipolar-input, internally compensated two-stage op-amp architecture optimized for single-supply operation. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages down to ground, enabling direct interfacing with low-side current-sense resistors and thermistor networks without level-shifting circuitry.
It features unity-gain stable operation, 0.35mA typical quiescent current per amplifier, and output swing within 20mV of the negative rail and 1.5V of the positive rail under 5mA load - characteristics critical for legacy industrial analog signal chains requiring compatibility with 5V or 12V logic-referenced systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3V to 30V - supports standard 5V, 12V, and 24V industrial rails without external regulation |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 0.7MHz - sufficient for DC–100kHz signal conditioning in motor control and power supply error amplifiers |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 3mV at 25°C - enables accurate low-gain amplification (e.g., 10×) of mV-level sensor outputs |
| Quiescent Current (per amp) | 350µA typical - allows dual-amplifier operation in battery-backed or energy-constrained subsystems |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes ground (V−) - eliminates need for input biasing in single-supply transducer interfaces |
| Output Voltage Swing | Within 20mV of V− and 1.5V of V+ at 5mA - compatible with 5V ADC reference levels and comparator thresholds |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded control applications (e.g., printers, HVAC controllers) |
Pinout & Package
LM358APE4 is packaged in an 8-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP), 9.81mm × 9.43mm body size, through-hole mountable with 0.3-inch row spacing and 0.1-inch lead pitch. Designed for legacy PCB layouts and manual soldering in cost-sensitive production environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Amplifier 1 output - drives feedback network or next-stage input; capable of sourcing/sinking ±20mA |
| 2 | IN1− | Inverting input of Amp 1 - accepts feedback signal or inverted sensor input; high-impedance (4GΩ||1.5pF) |
| 3 | IN1+ | Non-inverting input of Amp 1 - connects to reference, sensor, or signal source; common-mode range includes ground |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply or ground - serves as return path for both amplifiers; must be low-impedance for stability |
| 5 | IN2+ | Non-inverting input of Amp 2 - independent channel for parallel signal paths (e.g., current + voltage sensing) |
| 6 | IN2− | Inverting input of Amp 2 - used for differential configuration or closed-loop gain setting |
| 7 | OUT2 | Amplifier 2 output - fully independent output stage; shares same supply rails but no crosstalk above 120dB |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply - accepts up to 30V DC; internal ESD protection (500V HBM) reduces layout sensitivity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Enables direct connection to ground-referenced sensors (e.g., shunt resistors, thermistors) without external biasing |
| Unity-gain stable operation | Eliminates need for external compensation components in buffer, follower, or integrator configurations |
| Low input bias current (20nA typ) | Minimizes voltage error in high-impedance source applications such as photodiode transimpedance stages |
| High open-loop gain (25V/mV min) | Ensures <0.1% gain error in 100× non-inverting configurations with standard 1% feedback resistors |
| ESD rating (500V HBM) | Provides robustness during board handling and assembly without requiring special ESD precautions beyond standard practices |
Applications
| Power Supply Feedback Loop | Motor Control Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Regulating output voltage in offline AC/DC adapters and isolated DC/DC converters using optocoupler-based feedback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Error amplifier comparing sensed output against reference and driving optocoupler LED current. Use Value: Input common-mode range including ground allows direct connection to low-side shunt or resistor divider; 0.7MHz GBW ensures loop stability up to 50kHz switching frequencies. |

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 | SOIC-8 package; same 0.7MHz GBW and 3mV offset, but rated for –40°C to 85°C | Required for extended temperature industrial designs (e.g., outdoor HVAC, factory automation) | Select LM358DR when board space is constrained and wider temperature range is needed; not drop-in due to different footprint |
| LM2904P | Same PDIP-8 package; identical pinout; 30V max supply (vs. 30V), but 0.7MHz GBW and 7mV offset max at 25°C | Suitable for cost-driven applications where offset tolerance >3mV is acceptable (e.g., basic comparators, LED dimming) | Choose LM2904P only if system-level calibration compensates for higher offset; verify stability with existing compensation network |
Compared with LM358APE4, LM358DR offers broader temperature qualification and surface-mount compatibility but requires PCB redesign, while LM2904P retains identical packaging and pinout but trades 4mV higher input offset - making it viable only where precision is secondary to BOM consolidation.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM358APE4?
The LM358APE4 supports a maximum supply voltage of 30V (V+ to V−), as specified in Section 5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings of the TI SLOS068AB datasheet. This rating applies across its full 0°C to 70°C operating ambient temperature range and is validated for continuous operation - exceeding this voltage risks permanent damage to the internal bipolar junction transistor structure.
Does LM358APE4 support rail-to-rail output swing?
No, LM358APE4 does not provide rail-to-rail output swing. Its output can swing within approximately 20mV of the negative rail (V−) and up to 1.5V below the positive rail (V+) at 5mA load, as confirmed in Section 5.7 Electrical Characteristics. This limitation necessitates careful selection of reference voltages and load impedances in precision applications.
Is LM358APE4 pin-compatible with LM2904P?
Yes, LM358APE4 and LM2904P share identical 8-pin PDIP packaging and pin assignments (per Table 4-1 Pin Functions in SLOS068AB), including V+, OUT1, IN1−, IN1+, V−, IN2+, IN2−, and OUT2. However, LM2904P has higher input offset voltage (7mV max vs. 3mV) and lower ESD rating (500V HBM), requiring functional validation in precision-critical circuits.
What is the input bias current specification for LM358APE4?
The LM358APE4 exhibits a typical input bias current of –20nA and a maximum of –250nA at 25°C, as documented in Section 5.7 Electrical Characteristics. This bipolar-input architecture results in higher bias current than CMOS op-amps but remains suitable for medium-impedance sources (<100kΩ) commonly found in industrial sensor interfaces.
Can LM358APE4 drive capacitive loads directly?
LM358APE4 is characterized to drive up to 100pF capacitive loads without instability, per Section 5.5 Electrical Characteristics. Driving larger capacitive loads (e.g., long cables or ADC input capacitance >100pF) requires isolation via a series resistor or external compensation to maintain phase margin above 56° and prevent oscillation.
