The Texas Instruments LM358APWR is a dual-channel, general-purpose operational amplifier in an 8-TSSOP package. It delivers a gain bandwidth product of 700 kHz and a slew rate of 0.3 V/µs, drawing 500 µA per amplifier from a 3 V to 30 V supply. This is the classic LM358 architecture — a workhorse for non-critical signal conditioning, sensor buffering, and DC-level shifting in commercial-temperature (0°C to 70°C) equipment. The 8-TSSOP footprint saves board space compared to the older SOIC-8, but the pinout is the same, so it drops into existing LM358 layouts without a PCB change.
For dual-sourcing resilience, the LM358 family has multiple package variants and second-source equivalents from other manufacturers — the base LM358 design is a JEDEC-standard part, so qualifying an alternate (e.g., an LM358 in SOIC-8) is straightforward if your board can accommodate the larger footprint. The 8-TSSOP variant is the space-saving option for new designs.
