The ON Semiconductor range of dual operational amplifiers are brilliant. Featuring true differential inputs, they can operate single supply voltages between 3V up to 32V. These op amps have many advantages compared to other single operational amps such as, quiescent currents (one-fifth of those with MC1741). ESD clamps are also fitted onto all the input pins.

The common mode input range includes the negative supply, thereby eliminating the need for biasing components in other applications. The output voltage includes the negative power supply voltage.

• Single supply operation: 3V – 32V
• Common mode range extends to negative supply
• Single and split supply operation
• Low input bias currents
• Internally compensated
• True differential input stage
• ESD clamps on the inputs

• Integrators
• Comparators
• Voltage clamps
• Current regulators
• Linear voltage regulators

Utilizing the circuit designs perfected for quad op-amps, this dual op-amp features low power drain, a common mode input voltage range extending to ground/VEE, and single supply or split supply operation. The LM358 series is equivalent to one-half of an LM324. These amplifiers have several distinct advantages over standard operational amplifier types in single supply applications. They can operate at supply voltages as low as 3.0 V or as high as 32 V, with quiescent currents about one-fifth of those associated with the MC1741 (on a per amplifier basis). The common mode input range includes the negative supply, thereby eliminating the necessity for external biasing components in many applications. The output voltage range also includes the negative power supply voltage.
