LM 358

In today's post we will talk about the IC LM358. The LM358 IC is commonly used in making IR sensor modules and is one of its major component.

Description:

Pin configuration of LM358

The LM358 contains two independent high gain operational amplifiers with internal frequency compensation. The two op- amps operate over a wide voltage range from a single pow- er supply. Also use a split power supply. The device has low power supply current drain, regardless of the power supply voltage. The low power drain also makes the LM358 a good choice for battery operation.

When your project calls for a traditional op-amp function, now you can streamline your design with a simple single power supply. Use ordinary +5VDC common to practice any digital system or personal computer application, without requiring an extra 15V power supply just to have the interface electronics you need.

The LM358 is a versatile, rugged workhorse with a thousand- and-one uses, from amplifying signals from a variety of transducers to DC gain blocks, or any op-amp function. 

LM358 can be used to construct a stable amplifier, an inverting amplifier and a non-inverting one since there are two op amps on each LM358 chip. The herein picture shows the pinout schematic diagram of the LM358.
