Texas Instruments LM358TP/NOPB

Overview

LM358TP/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual, low-power, internally frequency-compensated operational amplifier designed for single-supply operation from 3 V to 32 V (or ±1.5 V to ±16 V). It delivers 100 dB DC voltage gain, 1 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 2 mV input offset voltage, and rail-to-ground output swing-enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered sensor interfaces and industrial analog front-ends.

For engineers reviewing the LM358TP/NOPB datasheet, LM358TP/NOPB pinout, LM358TP/NOPB application, or LM358TP/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world application constraints (e.g., input common-mode range including ground), supply current behavior (500 μA typical), and validated alternative options for cost-sensitive, single-rail designs.

Technical Context

The LM358TP/NOPB integrates two independent PNP-input op-amps with class-A/B output stages, enabling true single-supply operation where both inputs accept signals down to ground and outputs swing to within 20 mV of ground at V+ = 5 V. Its bias network maintains stable 500 μA supply current across 3–32 V, and internal frequency compensation ensures unity-gain stability without external components.

Input common-mode voltage range spans 0 V to (V+ − 1.5 V) at 25°C, while differential input voltage tolerance extends to ±32 V-eliminating need for external clamping diodes under normal operation. The device operates over 0°C to +70°C and supports SOIC-8 packaging with standard 1.27 mm pitch.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature range for LM358TP/NOPB?

The LM358TP/NOPB is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature. This commercial-grade specification aligns with its intended use in non-military, non-automotive applications such as industrial control panels, test equipment, and consumer electronics where extreme thermal environments are not expected. Full electrical performance-including input offset voltage, gain, and output swing-is guaranteed across this range per TI's SNOSBT3J datasheet.

Can LM358TP/NOPB drive capacitive loads directly?

LM358TP/NOPB can safely drive up to 50 pF capacitive loads in unity-gain non-inverting configuration without oscillation. Larger capacitive loads (e.g., ADC input capacitance >50 pF or long PCB traces) require series isolation resistance (≥100 Ω) between the op-amp output and the load to maintain phase margin. This limitation arises from reduced loop stability margin-not output stage current capability-and is documented in Section 7.3 of the TI datasheet.

Does LM358TP/NOPB support true rail-to-rail output swing?

LM358TP/NOPB provides rail-to-ground output swing (within 20 mV of GND at V+ = 5 V, RL = 10 kΩ) but does not swing to V+. Its positive output limit is typically V+ − 2 V under load. This asymmetric swing is inherent to its PNP-input, class-A/B output architecture. For full rail-to-rail output, TI recommends alternatives like TLV2462 or OPA234x-but LM358TP/NOPB remains optimal where ground-referenced signals dominate.

What is the input bias current behavior of LM358TP/NOPB over temperature?

LM358TP/NOPB features temperature-compensated input bias current, maintaining 45 nA typical (max 250 nA) across 0°C to +70°C. Unlike uncompensated bipolar op-amps, its PNP input stage bias current does not double every 10°C. This stability reduces drift-induced errors in high-impedance sensor circuits (e.g., pH probes, photodiode transimpedance amps) and simplifies calibration routines in production test.

Is LM358TP/NOPB pin-compatible with LM2904 or LM258?

Yes-LM358TP/NOPB shares identical pinout, electrical specifications, and SOIC-8 package dimensions with LM2904 and LM258. All three devices use the same 8-pin D, P, and NAB package variants and match Table 5-1 pin functions exactly. However, LM2904 extends temperature range to −40°C to +85°C and has lower CMRR (50 dB vs. 65 dB), while LM258 is rated for −25°C to +85°C. LM358TP/NOPB remains the commercial-temp baseline.
