ESD Clamps on the Inputs Increase Ruggedness of the Device without Affecting Operation.Common Mode Range Extends to Negative Supply.LM358 DatasheetĪccording to LM358 datasheet, it features: The output voltage range also includes the negative power supply voltage.

The common mode input range includes the negative supply, thereby eliminating the necessity for external biasing components in many applications. The amplifier can operate at supply voltages as low as 3.0 V or as high as 32 V. It has several distinct advantages over standard operational amplifier types in single supply applications. The LM358 opamp features low power drain, a common mode input voltage range extending to ground/VEE, and single supply or split supply operation. 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. The LM358 is available in a chip sized package (8-Bump micro SMD) using National’s micro SMD package technology. The LM358 op amp belongs to a sort of low power dual operational amplifiers, consisted 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.
