LM258DR

LM258DR is the tape-and-reel SOIC-8 ordering code for the Texas Instruments LM258 dual operational amplifier, listed as ACTIVE in the TI package option addendum of the LM158/LM258/LM358/LM2904 datasheet. The LM258 is the extended-temperature member of this industry-standard dual op-amp family: it operates from -25 °C to +85 °C (against 0 °C to +70 °C for the LM358 grade), runs from a single supply of 3 V to 30 V or dual supplies of ±1.5 V to ±15 V, and keeps the family behaviour of an input common-mode range that includes ground, 0.7 MHz typical gain-bandwidth, 5 mV maximum input offset and short-circuit-protected outputs. The selection point is drop-in temperature coverage: boards designed around the LM358 footprint gain a wider rated ambient range by changing only the ordering code, with no layout or compensation changes. Selection advice: choose LM258DR when the design must be specified below 0 °C but does not need the -40 °C range of the LM2904 family; choose LM258ADR when the offset budget needs the tighter 3 mV grade, and look at the LM358B generation when a 36 V supply range or 1.2 MHz bandwidth is required. The pin-compatible LM358DR is also listed for commercial-temperature builds.
