Build with LM358B — Datasheet Specs & AI Design Help

00 — Overview

What the LM358B does

The LMx58/LM2904 family comprises industry-standard dual operational amplifiers spanning the LM158, LM258, LM2904, and LM358 variants across commercial, industrial, and military temperature grades. These devices operate on a wide 3V to 36V supply, feature a 1.2MHz unity-gain bandwidth, and maintain a maximum input offset voltage of 3mV. The B and BA versions offer enhanced stability with 2mV offset and 300µA quiescent current per channel. Engineers typically utilize these amplifiers in merchant network power supplies, motor control circuits, and various AC inverter applications requiring robust performance near ground potential.
