Product details
Overview
MC1458P from Texas Instruments is a dual general-purpose operational amplifier in an 8-pin PDIP package, electrically similar to μA741 per amplifier half (no offset null), with ±15 V supply capability, 6 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, and wide common-mode input range (±12 V). It serves in analog signal conditioning, voltage-follower circuits, and industrial sensor interfaces where latch-up immunity and short-circuit protection are required.
For engineers reviewing the MC1458P datasheet, MC1458P pinout, MC1458P application, or MC1458P equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal data for PDIP-8, real-world design meaning of slew rate (0.5 V/μs), crosstalk attenuation (120 dB), and validated alternatives for legacy op-amp replacement scenarios.
Technical Context
The MC1458P integrates two independent high-input-impedance op-amps sharing a single ±15 V supply, each featuring internally compensated unity-gain stability and no external frequency compensation requirement. Its architecture supports rail-to-rail input operation within ±12 V common-mode range and delivers ±10 V peak output swing into 2 kΩ loads.
Designed for interchangeability with Motorola MC1558 and Signetics S5558/N5558, it maintains identical pinout and functional behavior across the MC1458/MC1558 family-differing only in temperature grade (0°C to 70°C) and absolute maximum supply ratings (±18 V vs. ±22 V for MC1558).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | ±5 V to ±15 V - Supports standard dual-rail analog systems without external regulation |
| Input Offset Voltage | Max 6 mV at 25°C - Sets baseline DC error in precision gain stages and active filters |
| Common-Mode Input Range | ±12 V - Enables direct interface with ±10 V sensor outputs without level-shifting |
| Slew Rate | 0.5 V/μs - Limits full-power bandwidth to ~14 kHz for ±10 V output swing (BOM spec) |
| Crosstalk Attenuation | 120 dB - Ensures minimal inter-channel coupling in dual-channel instrumentation |
| Short-Circuit Protection | Unlimited duration - Allows safe operation during fault conditions without device damage |
| Thermal Impedance θJA | 85°C/W (PDIP) - Determines max power dissipation (100–170 mW) before junction exceeds 150°C |
Pinout & Package
MC1458P uses an 8-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-8) with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Thermal resistance is 85°C/W (junction-to-ambient), and lead finish is NiPdAu (RoHS-compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output of Amplifier 1 | Drives external load; limited to ±10 V swing into 2 kΩ |
| 2 | Inverting Input of Amplifier 1 | Accepts feedback network; high-impedance node (0.3–2 MΩ) |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input of Amplifier 1 | Accepts signal source; common-mode range extends to ±12 V |
| 4 | Negative Supply (VCC−) | Reference for both amplifiers; must be connected to system ground or negative rail |
| 5 | Positive Supply (VCC+) | Reference for both amplifiers; accepts up to +18 V |
| 6 | Output of Amplifier 2 | Independent output path; same electrical specs as Pin 1 |
| 7 | Inverting Input of Amplifier 2 | Functionally identical to Pin 2; isolated from Amp 1 except via shared supplies |
| 8 | Non-Inverting Input of Amplifier 2 | Functionally identical to Pin 3; enables dual-channel parallel processing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external frequency compensation required | Guarantees stable unity-gain operation without added capacitors or resistors |
| Wide common-mode input voltage range | ±12 V allows direct connection to transducers operating near supply rails |
| Short-circuit protected outputs | Enables robust deployment in industrial environments with unpredictable load faults |
| No latch-up under normal operation | Prevents catastrophic failure when inputs exceed supply rails by up to ±15 V |
| Interchangeable with MC1558/MC1458 family | Same pinout and electrical behavior simplifies drop-in replacement across temperature grades |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Audio Pre-Amplification Stage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual general-purpose op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC1458DR | SOIC-8 package, same electrical specs, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, 97°C/W θJA | Surface-mount assembly; requires PCB reflow profile compliance (Level-1-260°C) | Select for automated production and space-constrained layouts |
| LM358N | Single-supply capable (3–32 V), lower input offset (7 mV typ), no dual-supply symmetry | Replaces MC1458P only in single-rail systems; not pin-compatible due to different pinout | Select when redesigning for 0–5 V or 0–12 V systems without negative rail |
Compared with MC1458P, MC1458DR offers identical performance in a surface-mount package ideal for modern manufacturing, while LM358N enables single-supply operation but requires schematic and layout changes due to non-interchangeable pinout and supply architecture.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MC1458P?
The MC1458P supports a maximum supply voltage of ±18 V across VCC+ and VCC− terminals. Exceeding this limit risks permanent damage, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings table. Operation at ±15 V is recommended for optimal performance and reliability, aligning with its tested electrical characteristics.
Does MC1458P include input offset null pins?
No, the MC1458P does not provide offset null pins. Unlike the μA741, each amplifier half lacks dedicated null adjustment terminals. Designers must accommodate its 6 mV maximum input offset voltage at 25°C through system-level calibration or post-processing rather than hardware trimming.
Can MC1458P operate with a single supply?
The MC1458P is designed for dual-supply operation (±5 V to ±15 V) and does not support true single-supply use. Its input common-mode range and output swing are referenced to the midpoint between VCC+ and VCC−, making it unsuitable for 0–VDD configurations without external biasing networks that compromise accuracy and stability.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of MC1458P in its PDIP package?
The MC1458P in the PDIP-8 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 85°C/W, measured under standard JEDEC test conditions. This value determines allowable power dissipation: at 25°C ambient, max continuous power is approximately 147 mW before junction temperature reaches 150°C.
Is MC1458P RoHS compliant?
Yes, the MC1458P is RoHS compliant, with a lead finish of NiPdAu (nickel-palladium-gold) and full compliance verified per TI's packaging documentation. The part marking "MC1458P" appears on the top surface, and it meets exemption criteria for legacy components under EU Directive 2011/65/EU.
