The 160 µA supply current keeps the power budget lean for always-on monitoring loops or battery-powered instruments where every microamp counts. ## Commercial temperature range — indoor use only It is not qualified for automotive under-hood, outdoor telecom cabinets, or factory-floor environments where the ambient regularly exceeds 70°C or drops below freezing. If your BOM calls for industrial or extended temperature, the LM776CN will not hold the spec. ## Through-hole 8-DIP — legacy footprint, easy to breadboard The 8-DIP (0.300\", 7.62mm) body with through-hole leads is a breadboard-friendly, hand-solderable package. It suits prototyping, rework, and low-volume production where wave soldering is the norm. For a new high-density surface-mount design, this is not the package you reach for — but if you are retrofitting an older PCB or need a drop-in replacement for a DIP-8 socket, the footprint matches the classic 741/358 layout. The 2 mV maximum input offset voltage is typical for a general-purpose bipolar op-amp; it will not limit a 10-bit ADC reading a 0–5 V sensor, but it does eat into the headroom for microvolt-level signals like thermocouple outputs. The 15 nA input bias current is bipolar-era — fine for low-impedance sources (below 10 kΩ), but a high-impedance sensor (e.g., a pH probe) will see a significant voltage error from bias current flowing through the source resistance. If your source impedance is above 100 kΩ, consider a FET-input op-amp instead. The RoHS compliance is marked as non-compliant, so verify your assembly line's exemption allowance if you are running lead-free processes.","metaTitle":"LM776CN General Purpose Op-Amp, 0.8 V/µs Slew Rate, 8-DIP","metaDescription":"LM776CN single general-purpose op-amp with 0.8 V/µs slew rate, 160 µA supply current, 2 mV offset.

This limits the full-power bandwidth to roughly 25 kHz at 5 V output swing. It is fine for audio, sensor conditioning, and control loops, but not for video, fast ADC drivers, or high-speed pulse amplification."},{"question":"Is LM776CN a replacement for LM358?","answer":"The LM776CN is a single-channel op-amp, while the LM358 is a dual-channel device. Both are general-purpose bipolar amplifiers in similar DIP-8 footprints, but the LM776CN is not a direct pin-for-pin replacement because the LM358 uses two amplifiers in one package. If your design calls for a single op-amp in a DIP-8 socket, the LM776CN can serve that role, but check the pinout against your PCB layout."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/LM776CN","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/LM776CN when reusing this data.
