LM358PSR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum power supply voltage for the LM358PSR?
  The maximum power supply voltage for the LM358PSR is 32V. Exceeding this voltage can cause damage to the device.
• Can I use the LM358PSR in a single-supply configuration?
  Yes, the LM358PSR can be used in a single-supply configuration. However, the input common-mode voltage range is limited to VCC-1.5V to VCC+0.5V, so ensure that the input signal is within this range.
• What is the input impedance of the LM358PSR?
  The input impedance of the LM358PSR is typically around 2MΩ, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• Can I use the LM358PSR as a comparator?
  While the LM358PSR can be used as a comparator, it's not the best choice due to its relatively slow response time and limited output current capability. A dedicated comparator like the LM339 or LM2901 would be a better option.
• How do I ensure stability in my LM358PSR circuit?
  To ensure stability in your LM358PSR circuit, make sure to decouple the power supply lines with capacitors, use a stable voltage reference, and avoid high-gain configurations. Also, consider adding a compensation capacitor between the output and the inverting input to prevent oscillations.
