Product details
Overview
LMX358AKA-T from Maxim Integrated is a dual, general-purpose, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage, low-power applications. It operates from a single +2.3V to +7V supply, draws 210µA quiescent current (typical at +2.7V), delivers 1.3MHz gain-bandwidth product, and drives 2kΩ loads within 40mV of both rails. It is used in portable battery-powered equipment requiring precision signal conditioning with minimal power consumption.
For engineers reviewing the LMX358AKA-T datasheet, LMX358AKA-T pinout, LMX358AKA-T application, or LMX358AKA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its rail-to-rail output swing, input common-mode range extending 0.2V below ground, unity-gain stability with up to 400pF capacitive load drive, low 105µA per-amplifier supply current, and compatibility with space-constrained SOT23-8 layouts.
Technical Context
The LMX358AKA-T implements a bipolar-input, rail-to-rail output architecture with internal input protection circuitry including 3.5kΩ series resistors and back-to-back diode clamps. Its input common-mode voltage range spans VEE − 0.2V to VCC − 0.8V (at +2.7V supply), enabling operation with inputs below ground in single-supply configurations.
It features no phase reversal under overdriven input conditions and eliminates crossover distortion via complementary output stage design. The device is unity-gain stable and maintains ≥64° phase margin driving 200pF capacitive loads, supporting robust performance in active filters and sensor interface circuits without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.3V to +7V single supply - supports direct integration into 3.3V and 5V systems without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 210µA (typical, dual amp at +2.7V) - enables multi-channel signal conditioning in ultra-low-power portable designs. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1.3MHz - sufficient for DC–100kHz signal amplification in sensor front-ends and audio preamps. |
| Output Swing | Within 40mV of rails (RL = 2kΩ) - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage ADC driver and reference buffer applications. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VEE − 0.2V to VCC − 0.8V - allows input signals below ground in single-supply configurations, e.g., transducer outputs. |
| Capacitive Load Drive | Stable up to 400pF - permits direct connection to ADC input capacitance or long PCB traces without isolation resistor. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1–6mV (25°C) - suitable for medium-precision instrumentation where trimming is not required. |
Pinout & Package
LMX358AKA-T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (package code K8-2), measuring 2.95mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and standard JEDEC MO-178AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Amplifier 1 output - rail-to-rail capable, drives 2kΩ load to within 40mV of VCC/VEE. |
| 2 | IN1− | Inverting input for Amp 1 - accepts signals down to VEE − 0.2V; protected by internal 3.5kΩ resistor and diode clamp. |
| 3 | IN1+ | Noninverting input for Amp 1 - same input structure as IN1−; differential input voltage clamped at ±3.1V. |
| 4 | VEE | Negative supply terminal - connect to ground in single-supply operation; defines lower rail for input/output swing. |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply terminal - accepts +2.3V to +7V; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| 6 | IN2− | Inverting input for Amp 2 - electrically identical to IN1−; supports independent dual-channel configuration. |
| 7 | IN2+ | Noninverting input for Amp 2 - matches IN1+ characteristics; enables dual-sensor or dual-filter topologies. |
| 8 | OUT2 | Amplifier 2 output - fully independent of OUT1; shares same output drive capability and rail-to-rail behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Delivers full-scale signal headroom at low supply voltages, preserving SNR in 3.3V ADC interfaces. |
| No phase reversal on overdrive | Prevents latch-up or erroneous control signals when inputs exceed common-mode limits - critical in closed-loop sensors. |
| Input common-mode range below ground | Supports bipolar signal acquisition (e.g., bridge sensors, thermocouples) without negative supply generation. |
| Unity-gain stable with 400pF load | Eliminates need for external isolation resistors in capacitive-load applications like anti-aliasing filter outputs. |
| Low 105µA per-amplifier quiescent current | Enables dual-channel amplification in always-on wearable devices with multi-day battery life. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual, low-voltage, rail-to-rail output op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV358IDR | Higher quiescent current (150µA per amp), wider input common-mode range (to VCC + 0.3V), but only 1MHz GBW. | Less suitable for high-speed filtering; better for rail-sensing applications requiring input above VCC. | Select LMV358IDR if input overvoltage tolerance > VCC is required; otherwise LMX358AKA-T offers superior speed/power trade-off. |
| TLV2372IDR | CMOS input (IB = 1pA vs. 18nA), lower noise (30nV/√Hz), but higher ICC (120µA per amp) and narrower VCM (to VCC − 1.5V). | Better for high-impedance pH or photodiode sensors; unsuitable for sub-ground input signals. | Choose TLV2372IDR for ultra-low input bias in precision sensor nodes; LMX358AKA-T preferred for mixed-signal systems needing ground-referenced inputs. |
Compared with LMV358IDR and TLV2372IDR, the LMX358AKA-T uniquely balances rail-to-rail output, sub-ground input capability, 1.3MHz bandwidth, and 210µA total supply current - making it optimal for dual-channel, battery-constrained systems requiring wide dynamic range and robust input handling.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LMX358AKA-T?
The LMX358AKA-T is rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +125°C. This extended industrial temperature range is verified across all electrical specifications in the datasheet, including input offset voltage, supply current, and output swing, making it suitable for automotive cabin modules and outdoor portable equipment where ambient temperatures fluctuate widely.
Does the LMX358AKA-T support single-supply operation with inputs below ground?
Yes, the LMX358AKA-T supports true single-supply operation with inputs extending to VEE − 0.2V. When VEE is grounded, this allows input signals as low as −0.2V, enabling direct interfacing with transducers that produce negative-going outputs relative to system ground - a capability confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
What is the maximum capacitive load the LMX358AKA-T can drive while remaining stable?
The LMX358AKA-T is unity-gain stable driving capacitive loads up to 400pF, as explicitly stated in the General Description and verified in Typical Operating Characteristics (Figure MAXLMX toc23). Stability is maintained without external compensation, though for loads exceeding 400pF, a series isolation resistor (e.g., 10–100Ω) between output and capacitor is recommended per the Applications Information section.
Is the LMX358AKA-T pin-compatible with the LMV358 family?
Yes, the LMX358AKA-T is explicitly described as a pin-to-pin compatible upgrade to the LMV358 family. Both devices use identical 8-pin SOT23-8 pinouts (OUT1, IN1−, IN1+, VEE, VCC, IN2−, IN2+, OUT2), allowing drop-in replacement without PCB layout changes - a claim validated in the General Description and Pin Configurations diagrams of the datasheet.
What is the typical supply current for the LMX358AKA-T at +5V supply?
At +5V supply and +25°C, the LMX358AKA-T draws 240µA typical supply current (120µA per amplifier), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Supply Current (ICC)" with conditions VCC = +5V, TA = +25°C. This value increases to 420µA maximum across temperature and process variation, ensuring predictable power budgeting in dual-channel designs.
