Product details
Overview
MC1458N from STMicroelectronics is a high-performance, monolithic dual operational amplifier designed for analog signal conditioning in industrial and instrumentation systems. It delivers large input voltage range (±12 V), high open-loop gain (50–200 V/mV), and 1 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, with no external frequency compensation required. Used in active filtering and precision summing circuits where rail-to-rail input is not needed but robust DC accuracy and stability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MC1458N datasheet, MC1458N pinout, MC1458N application, or MC1458N equivalent, key selection criteria include input offset voltage (1–6 mV), supply current (2.3–6 mA), output swing (±10 to ±14 V into 2–10 kΩ), slew rate (0.2–0.8 V/µs), and SO8 package compatibility with legacy DIP-8 footprints via adapter boards.
Technical Context
The MC1458N integrates two independent high-gain op-amps on a single silicon die with matched internal transistor pairs, enabling precise differential operation without external trimming. Its bipolar input stage provides low input bias current (30–800 nA) and high common-mode rejection (70–90 dB), supporting stable closed-loop configurations across temperature (0–70 °C or –40–105 °C variants).
It operates from dual supplies up to ±22 V, features intrinsic short-circuit protection, and maintains phase margin ≥65° and gain margin ≥11 dB under unity-gain conditions - eliminating need for external compensation capacitors in most feedback topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | ±22 V max - supports wide dynamic range signal handling in industrial power rails |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1–6 mV - determines DC error in precision integrators and summing amplifiers |
| Large-Signal Voltage Gain | 50–200 V/mV - enables high closed-loop accuracy with minimal gain error at low frequencies |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1 MHz - sets usable small-signal bandwidth for active filters and buffers up to ~100 kHz |
| Slew Rate | 0.2–0.8 V/µs - limits full-power output swing speed; constrains large-signal response in function generators |
| Input Common-Mode Range | ±12 V - allows operation with inputs near supply rails, easing level-shifting in multi-stage designs |
| Output Short-Circuit Current | 10–35 mA - defines safe drive capability into low-Z loads without latch-up or thermal shutdown |
Pinout & Package
MC1458N is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO8) surface-mount package, measuring 4.9 mm × 6.0 mm × 1.75 mm, with 1.27 mm pitch and ECOPACK® environmental compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting input of Amp A | Accepts feedback network connection for standard inverting amplifier configuration |
| 2 | Non-inverting input of Amp A | Reference point for differential input; used in voltage follower or non-inverting gain stages |
| 3 | Output of Amp A | Drives external load or next stage; rated for ±10–14 V swing into 2–10 kΩ |
| 4 | Negative supply (V−) | Common return for both amplifiers; must be decoupled locally to minimize noise coupling |
| 5 | Non-inverting input of Amp B | Independent reference node for second channel; electrically isolated from Amp A inputs |
| 6 | Inverting input of Amp B | Supports dual-channel summing or cascaded filter stages without inter-channel crosstalk |
| 7 | Output of Amp B | Second independent output; channel separation >120 dB ensures minimal signal leakage between paths |
| 8 | Positive supply (V+) | Power rail for both amplifiers; requires local 100 nF ceramic bypass capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external frequency compensation required | Enables stable unity-gain operation without added capacitor, reducing BOM count and board area |
| High common-mode rejection (70–90 dB) | Maintains signal integrity in noisy environments such as motor control feedback loops |
| Short-circuit protected outputs | Allows safe operation during prototyping, test fixture miswiring, or transient overload events |
| Large input voltage range (±12 V) | Permits direct interfacing with ±10 V industrial sensor outputs without attenuation or level shift |
| No latch-up behavior | Ensures reliable recovery after overvoltage or reverse-bias transients on input pins |
Applications
| Summing Amplifier | Voltage Follower |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Combining multiple analog sensor signals (e.g., thermocouple, strain gauge, pressure transducer) into a single conditioned output for ADC sampling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual op-amp configured as precision inverting summer with matched resistors; second channel buffers reference or provides offset correction. Use Value: Input offset voltage ≤6 mV ensures sub-10 mV summation error across temperature; high CMRR rejects shared-mode noise from distributed sensors. | Use Scenario: Isolating high-impedance pH probe or photodiode transimpedance output before long cable runs to data acquisition hardware. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting unity-gain buffer per channel; preserves signal amplitude while driving 100 pF + 1 kΩ cable impedance. Use Value: Slew rate ≥0.2 V/µs supports step response fidelity up to 10 kHz; low input bias current (≤800 nA) prevents probe loading-induced drift. |
| Active Filtering | Function Generator |
Use Scenario: Implementing 2nd-order low-pass and band-pass filters in audio test equipment and vibration analysis front-ends. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual amplifier used in biquad topology - one as integrator, one as summer - enabling tunable cutoff and Q-factor. Use Value: 1 MHz GBW and 0.8 V/µs slew rate support filter corner frequencies up to 100 kHz with <1% gain error; low THD (0.02%) preserves waveform purity. | Use Scenario: Generating triangle and square waveforms in benchtop signal sources with adjustable frequency and amplitude. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One amp as integrator, second as comparator with hysteresis - forming classic triangle-square oscillator core. Use Value: Phase margin ≥65° ensures stable oscillation without ringing; output short-circuit current ≥10 mA drives 50 Ω coaxial outputs directly. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM358DT | Single-supply optimized; lower gain (100 V/mV typ), higher input offset (2–7 mV), slower slew rate (0.3 V/µs) | Better suited for 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller interfaces; less ideal for ±15 V industrial signal chains | Select when operating from single rail or cost-sensitive consumer designs require basic dual op-amp functionality |
| NE5532D | Higher slew rate (9 V/µs), lower noise (5 nV/√Hz), wider bandwidth (10 MHz), but higher supply current (8 mA/ch) | Preferred for audio line drivers and high-fidelity active crossovers where bandwidth and SNR dominate | Select when signal fidelity, speed, or low-noise performance outweighs power budget constraints |
Compared with LM358DT and NE5532D, the MC1458N occupies a mid-tier niche: superior DC precision and dual-supply headroom versus LM358, yet more power-efficient and cost-effective than NE5532 for general-purpose industrial analog stages requiring no audio-grade specs.

FAQ
Is MC1458N pin-compatible with older DIP-8 versions like MC1458CP?
No - MC1458N uses an SO8 surface-mount package, while MC1458CP uses an 8-pin PDIP through-hole package. Pin numbering and physical layout match (1–8 same function), but PCB footprint and soldering method differ. Adapter boards or re-layout are required for drop-in replacement in legacy DIP designs.
Does MC1458N require external compensation capacitors?
No - the MC1458N is internally compensated for unity-gain stability. Its phase margin exceeds 65° and gain margin exceeds 11 dB under standard test conditions (VCC = ±15 V, RL = 2 kΩ, CL = 100 pF), allowing stable operation without external capacitors in inverting, non-inverting, or follower configurations.
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C. With SO8 package thermal resistance θJA ≈ 125 °C/W (typical, still-air), sustained power dissipation above ~120 mW requires PCB copper pour or airflow to avoid exceeding Tj(max); full-load 300 mW rating assumes ideal heatsinking.
Can MC1458N drive a 600 Ω audio line?
Not optimally - its output resistance is 75 Ω and short-circuit current is 10–35 mA, making it unsuitable for direct 600 Ω line driving without external buffering. For professional audio, use dedicated line drivers (e.g., THAT Corporation ICs) or add discrete emitter-follower stages to maintain signal integrity and impedance matching.
