LM258AM - Dual 30V 700kHz Operational Amplifier | onsemi
N.º de pieza: LM258AM ✓ ActivoLM258AM Descripción general
An operational amplifier is a high-gain analog signal-processing IC that compares its inverting and non-inverting inputs and drives its output according to the voltage difference between them. The LM258 family belongs to the operational-amplifier category within analog amplifiers and linear integrated circuits. It is intended for general-purpose designs rather than precision, low-noise, or high-speed instrumentation, providing a practical balance of supply range, gain, common-mode capability, and output swing.
Key features include two independent channels, large DC voltage gain of 100 dB, and internal frequency compensation that supports unity-gain operation without an external compensation network. The input common-mode voltage range includes ground, supporting single-supply signal conditioning where the signal is referenced to 0 V. These characteristics make the LM258AM suitable for transducers, industrial controls, audio and communication interfaces, sensor amplification, and general feedback-control circuits.
The architecture is based on two independent high-gain amplifier sections with internal compensation. Internal compensation simplifies PCB design and improves usability at unity gain, while the wide supply range permits operation from lower-voltage single supplies through industrial supplies up to 30 V. Because this is a general-purpose bipolar-style amplifier family, engineers should verify input common-mode limits, output swing, load capability, stability, and supply-current requirements against the manufacturer datasheet for the exact operating conditions.
Typical applications include current-loop and voltage-feedback control, low-side sensing, sensor signal conditioning, audio preamplification, active filtering, threshold detection, and general industrial interface circuits. The dual arrangement is especially useful when a design needs two related functions, such as an error amplifier paired with a buffer or a comparator paired with a gain stage.
When laying out an LM258AM circuit, keep input and feedback connections compact to minimize parasitic pickup, provide adequate supply bypassing near the device, and verify that source and load impedances remain within the stability requirements of the internal compensation. The SOIC-8 package also allows a smaller footprint than a traditional through-hole dual operational amplifier.

Aplicaciones típicas
LM258AM es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning, Low-Side Current Sensing, Audio Preamplification, Active Filtering and Signal Conditioning, Threshold Detection and Control, General-Purpose Interface Amplification.
Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning
The onsemi LM258AM fits sensor-conditioning circuits that require two amplifier channels, a 700 kHz gain-bandwidth product, and single-supply operation up to 30 V. One channel can amplify a sensor output while the second provides filtering or an active gain stage. Its 100 dB DC voltage gain supports moderate closed-loop gain, while the input common-mode range including ground is useful for signals referenced to 0 V. The -25°C to +85°C rating suits industrial equipment. Confirm source impedance, sensor output swing, and the exact common-mode limits before calculating gain.
Recomendado
Low-Side Current Sensing
LM258AM can amplify the small differential voltage produced by a low-side current shunt in a control or monitoring system. The two independent channels allow one amplifier to process the shunt signal and the other to provide filtering or level conditioning for a controller input. A 30 V maximum supply voltage accommodates industrial supply transients, while the input common-mode range including ground suits low-side sensing. The 700 kHz gain-bandwidth product supports moderate-bandwidth feedback networks, but offset voltage and input bias current must be checked against the smallest expected shunt voltage.
Recomendado
Audio Preamplification
The LM258AM is suitable for modest audio preamplification and active filter stages that do not require rail-to-rail operation or low-noise performance beyond general-purpose levels. Its dual-channel organization can amplify one signal path while handling a second related channel, and internal frequency compensation simplifies unity-gain feedback layouts. The 700 kHz gain-bandwidth product is adequate for many voice-band and control-signal applications. Designers should verify output swing into the intended load, input bias behavior, supply-noise coupling, and the achievable bandwidth at the selected closed-loop gain.
Recomendado
Active Filtering and Signal Conditioning
LM258AM fits active filter and analog conditioning designs where two channels can form a cascaded or parallel signal path. The 700 kHz gain-bandwidth product provides useful bandwidth for low- to moderate-frequency filters, and the 100 dB DC voltage gain helps preserve loop performance in precision-gain sections. Internal frequency compensation removes the need for an external dominant-pole capacitor in compatible configurations. Component tolerances and amplifier parasitics remain important at high Q, so engineers should use the datasheet gain-bandwidth and open-loop-response information to validate stability and expected response.
Recomendado
Threshold Detection and Control
The dual LM258AM can implement threshold detection and feedback control without requiring two separate packages. One channel can compare a feedback-adjusted signal with a reference, while the other buffers the reference or amplifies the returned control signal. Single-supply operation up to 30 V supports industrial control systems, and the common-mode range including ground is helpful when signals remain near the lower rail. The designer must confirm output-swing limits, input offset, and response speed so the comparator-like function does not suffer from noise or overload near the threshold.
Recomendado
General-Purpose Interface Amplification
LM258AM can condition inputs and outputs at the interface between sensors, transducers, and higher-level control electronics. Its two amplifier channels provide economical channel density in an 8-SOIC package, while the broad single-supply capability supports both low-voltage and industrial 24 V class environments when the exact operating limits are respected. The 700 kHz bandwidth is suitable for many control and communications signals but not high-speed data channels. Confirm supply bypass requirements, allowable input common-mode range, output loading, and channel-to-channel usage against the manufacturer documentation.

Notas de diseño
Place the supply-bypass capacitor close to the LM258AM supply pins and connect it to the ground reference using a short, low-impedance path. Keep the two channels physically separate when one handles a low-level signal and the other drives a larger load. Route input and feedback traces away from the supply, output, and clocked digital lines to reduce parasitic coupling into the high-gain amplifier inputs.
Do not assume that a dual SOIC amplifier is automatically interchangeable with the LM258AM. Before substituting a candidate, compare pin assignments, supply range, input common-mode range, output swing, offset voltage, input bias current, gain-bandwidth product, slew rate, and load behavior. In particular, the LM358ADT is identified as a 1.1 MHz part, 0.4 MHz or 57% faster than the LM258AM, so its stability and output behavior can differ.
Use the internal frequency compensation only within the gain and load conditions supported by the manufacturer documentation. For low-frequency precision applications, select feedback resistors that keep the effective noise gain and closed-loop gain within the stable operating region. If the source has high impedance, account for input bias-current error and capacitance, and avoid very long PCB traces that add leakage and coupling.
The LM258AM is specified for -25°C to +85°C operation, and its internal power dissipation varies with supply voltage, output swing, load current, and the number of active channels. Estimate worst-case dissipation using the actual rail and load conditions, then confirm the 8-SOIC copper area and ambient temperature provide adequate junction-temperature margin. Two channels dissipating simultaneously require separate attention to each amplifier’s output current.
