Detailed Description
The LM358 operational amplifier is a versatile and widely used analog IC containing two independent, high-gain op-amps in one package. It is specifically designed to operate from a single power supply, which makes it very suitable for battery-powered and microcontroller-based systems.
Unlike many traditional op-amps, the LM358 allows its input voltage range to include ground, enabling easy interfacing with sensors and low-level analog signals. It is commonly used for signal amplification, voltage comparison, active filters, oscillators, and sensor signal conditioning.
Due to its low power consumption and reliable performance, the LM358 is frequently used in Arduino projects, power monitoring circuits, audio processing (non-hi-fi), and industrial electronics. It is easy to use for both beginners and professionals.
