What this dual op-amp brings to the rail
Each of the two channels draws 90 µA of supply current, making this a solid fit for battery-operated instrumentation, sensor signal conditioning, and industrial control loops that must run from a 3.3 V or 5 V rail without excessive thermal dissipation. The gain-bandwidth product sits at 1 MHz with a slew rate of 1.5 V/µs — adequate for DC and low-frequency AC signals up to a few tens of kilohertz, but not a part you'd pick for high-speed data acquisition or video amplification. Supply voltage span runs from 2.7 V minimum to 5.5 V maximum, so it works directly off a single lithium-ion cell or a regulated 3.3 V / 5 V rail without an extra LDO. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C qualifies it for automotive under-hood and industrial outdoor environments where a commercial-grade 0°C to 70°C part would drift or fail.
Low-power profile — what 90 µA per channel means for the BOM
At 90 µA per amplifier, the total quiescent draw for both channels is 180 µA typical. In a battery-powered sensor node running from a 500 mAh cell, that translates to roughly 2800 hours of continuous operation before the op-amps alone drain the battery — a meaningful advantage over a standard LM358 that pulls 500 µA per channel. The input bias current is 15 pA, which keeps voltage error low when interfacing with high-impedance sensors like pH probes or photodiodes, and the input offset voltage is trimmed to 1 mV typical, adequate for 8- to 10-bit precision without external nulling.
The base product number LM358 has been in continuous production for decades, and the LVIDR variant is a current-generation low-power derivative in a standard 8-SOIC footprint. The 8-SOIC body (3.90 mm width) is a common footprint shared by thousands of op-amps, so board layout reuse across alternate sources is straightforward.
