As we know that there are available in various forms of 555 timers, single logic gates, microcontroller, microprocessor, voltage regulator and op-amps like different ICs IC LM741, LM7805, LM35, LM324 IC, LM337, LM338, LM339 IC, LM1117 and many more ICs are available. Here we have to learn or introduce about IC LM358 because it has low power and easy to use dual channel op-amp IC. This IC is designed especially to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages. It is a good, standard operational amplifier and the most important point for this IC is suitable for your needs. LM358 IC is available in a small size as a chip. This IC is most commonly used in the device due to its cost-efficiency. Let us have a deep insight into the introduction, pinout, configuration, features, packages, advantages, applications of LM358.
Introduction to LM358 :
LM358 consists of two independent compensated operational amplifier with high gain frequency. LM 358 IC is available in the cheap sized package so this must be used in real-life applications include DC gain block, conventional OP-AMP circuits design, active filters, transducer amplifier, This post also gives some information about this ICs like Pinout of LM358, features, Applications, advantages, Pin configuration of LM358, Also give some real-life applications of LM358. So you have to learn some different ideas related to your project you are the right place to study.
Pinout LM358 :
- LM 358 has eight (8) pins in total having different individual functions associated with each of them.
- Pin-1 and pin-8 are the output of the comparator.
- Pin-2 and pin-6 are inverting inputs.
- Pin-3 and pin-5 are non-inverting inputs.
- Pin-4 is the GND terminal.
- Pin-8 is VCC+.

- Permits direct sensing close to GND and VOUT.
- Well suited with all methods of logic.
- Power drains appropriate for the operation of the battery.
- Two internally compensated for OP-AMP.
- Eliminates the need for dual supplies.
LM358 applications :
LM358 has a wide range of real-life applications, we have to represent the major application of LM358 are listed below:
- It must be used in the DC gain block.
- It can be used signal conditioning.
- It is used for active filters.
- Current loop transmitter for 4 to 20mA.
- It can be also used in transducer amplifiers in real-life applications.
- This IC also be used in operational circuits.
- It must be used in real-life applications like shock alarm circuits and dark sensor circuits.
Simple Schock alarm circuit using LM358 :
- The shock alarm circuit using LM358 is very easy to design and it has many applications from home automobiles.
- The main application of this circuit is to as an anti-theft alarm in automobiles. In this circuit, a piezoelectric sensor is used as a shock sensor that has to mount on the door which you have to guard.
- Here shown in figure LM358 is connected in the inverting Schmitt trigger. The port R1 sets the threshold voltage of the circuit. R1 is used as the feedback resistor.
- When the piezoelectric sensor has not activated the output from the piezoelectric sensor will be low and so do the output of the IC, So at a time output of the sensor is high and activates as a Schmitt trigger. Then it gives the buzzer sound.
- The buzzer remains beeping for some time even f the vibration is detached. This is because, when inverting input has little effect when the LM358 IC is triggered and the state can't be easily inverted. So fix the sensor firmly to the surface, where ever you place it and it is always good to place the sensor near to the doorknob.
- So here this figure has to use the 3-volt battery as a power supply and regulate R2 register to obtain the necessary sensitivity.
