LM358 Low Power Dual Operational Amplifier

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — Brad @ 10:30 am

The LM358 series consists of two independent, high gain, internally frequency compensated operational amplifiers which were designed specifically to operate from a single
power supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from split power supplies is also possible and the low power supply current drain is independent of the magnitude of the power supply voltage.

Application areas include transducer amplifiers, dc gain blocks and all the conventional op amp circuits which now can be more easily implemented in single power supply
systems. For example, the LM158 series can be directly operated off of the standard +5V power supply voltage which is used in digital systems and will easily provide the required interface electronics without requiring the additional ±15V power supplies.

LM386 Low Voltage Audio Power Amplifier

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — Brad @ 10:36 am

The LM386 is a power amplifier designed for use in low voltage consumer applications. The gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count low, but the addition of an external resistor and capacitor between pins 1 and 8 will increase the gain to any value from 20 to 200.

The inputs are ground referenced while the output automatically biases to one-half the supply voltage. The quiescent power drain is only 24 milliwatts when operating from a 6 volt supply, making the LM386 ideal for battery operation.

LM833 Low Noise Dual Operational Amplifier

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — Brad @ 9:56 am

The LM883 is a dual operational amplifier with very low noise characteristics making in well suited for audio applications. It offers low voltage noise (4.5nV/√Hz) and high frequency performances (15MHz Gain Bandwidth product, 7V/μs slew rate).


Many audio applications would benefit from such excellent noise characteristics.
