Frequently Asked Questions
Can these amplifiers operate using a single power supply?
Yes, the LM series can operate from a single voltage supply ranging from 3V to 32V.
What is the operating temperature range for different chips?
The LM158 operates over -55°C to +125°C, while the LM358 and LM258 are rated from -40°C to +85°C.
Is it suitable for use in life support equipment?
No, National Semiconductor products are not authorized without the express written approval of their President and General Counsel.
What is the typical supply current draw at 5V?
The supply current (I_D) varies but typically ranges from 0.5 mA to 1.2 mA depending on the amplifier model.
Is the unity gain cross frequency temperature compensated?
Yes, the manual states that the unity gain cross frequency is temperature compensated.
