Notes:

2. For operating at high temperatures, the LM358 must be derated based on a +125°C maximum junction temperature and a

thermal resistance of 189°C/W, which applies for the device soldered in a printed circuit board, operating in a still air ambient. The dissipation is

the total of both amplifiers; use external resistors, where possible, to allow the amplifier to saturate or to reduce the power which is dissipated in

the integrated circuit.

3. Short circuits from the output to V

maximum output current is approximately 40mA independent of the magnitude of V

short-circuits can exceed the power dissipation ratings and cause eventual destruction. Destructive dissipation can result from simultaneous

shorts on all amplifiers.

4. This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to the collector-base junction of the input

PNP transistors becoming forward biased and thereby acting as input diode clamps. In addition to this diode action, there is also lateral NPN

parasitic transistor action on the IC chip. This transistor action can cause the output voltages of the op amps to go to the V

ground for a large overdrive) for the time duration that an input is driven negative. This is not destructive and normal output states will re-establish

when the input voltage, which was negative, again returns to a value greater than -0.3V (at 25°C).
