LM358AD Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum power supply voltage that can be applied to the LM358AD?
  The maximum power supply voltage that can be applied to the LM358AD is 32V. Exceeding this voltage can cause damage to the device.
• Can the LM358AD be used in single-supply applications?
  Yes, the LM358AD can be used in single-supply applications. The device can operate from a single supply voltage as low as 3V, making it suitable for battery-powered devices.
• What is the input impedance of the LM358AD?
  The input impedance of the LM358AD is typically around 2MΩ, which is relatively high. This makes it suitable for use in applications where a high input impedance is required.
• Can the LM358AD be used as a comparator?
  Yes, the LM358AD can be used as a comparator. However, it is not optimized for this application and may not provide the same level of performance as a dedicated comparator IC.
• What is the slew rate of the LM358AD?
  The slew rate of the LM358AD is typically around 0.5V/μs, which is relatively slow compared to other op-amps. This can affect the device's ability to handle high-frequency signals.
