The LM258D is a dual operational amplifier (op-amp) integrated circuit (IC) component designed with precision, high-gain, and low-power characteristics. It can operate from a single power supply with a voltage range of 3V to 30V effectively, enabling it to be used in a wide range of applications.
One of the key features of the LM258D is its low input offset voltage, typically measuring at 2mV. This attribute helps provide accurate amplification of small input signals, making it suitable for use in measurement and instrumentation circuits.
Furthermore, the LM258D offers high voltage gain, with a typical open-loop gain of 100 dB. This aspect allows for efficient signal amplification even when dealing with low-level input signals.
The device also provides a wide bandwidth, capable of reaching up to 1.1 MHz. This allows it to handle higher frequency signals accurately, making it suitable for various audio applications.
Another notable feature of the LM258D is its low input bias current, rated typically at 20nA. This specification minimizes current flow into its inputs, ensuring minimal signal degradation and maximizing the overall circuit performance.
Moreover, the LM258D is designed with a high slew rate, typically rated at 0
