LM258AP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LM258AP is a general-purpose operational amplifier manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in an 8-DIP through-hole package. This device integrates two independent amplifier circuits suitable for a wide range of analog signal processing applications. The LM258AP maintains Active product status with 3596 units in current inventory.

Substitute parts become necessary when through-hole packaging is unavailable, when surface-mount technology is required for modern PCB designs, or when alternative amplifier topologies better suit specific application requirements such as higher bandwidth or faster slew rate performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LM258AP is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Parameters:

• Number of circuits: Must equal 2
• Package type: Through-hole (8-DIP) or surface-mount (8-TSSOP) configurations acceptable
• Supply voltage range: Minimum 3V, maximum 30V or higher
• Output current per channel: Minimum 40 mA
• RoHS3 compliance: Required

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Slew rate: 0.3 V/µs or higher
• Gain bandwidth product: 700 kHz or higher
• Input bias current: 20 nA or lower
• Input offset voltage: 3 mV or lower

The LM358PWRG3 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical circuit count, matching slew rate and gain bandwidth product, compatible supply voltage range, and equivalent output current capability. The primary difference is packaging format (surface-mount 8-TSSOP versus through-hole 8-DIP) and operating temperature range reduction (0°C to 70°C versus -25°C to 85°C).

The AD828ANZ represents an alternative substitute with different amplifier topology (voltage feedback architecture). While it maintains the required two-circuit configuration and through-hole 8-DIP packaging, it exhibits significantly higher bandwidth (130 MHz), faster slew rate (450 V/µs), and different supply current characteristics (14 mA total versus 1 mA total for LM258AP). This device is suitable only when higher-speed performance is required.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

LM358PWRG3 Selection Criteria:

The LM358PWRG3 is the preferred direct substitute when PCB redesign to surface-mount technology is feasible. This device maintains electrical equivalence with the LM258AP across all critical parameters: identical slew rate (0.3 V/µs), gain bandwidth product (700 kHz), output current capability (40 mA per channel), and supply voltage compatibility (3V to 30V). Both devices are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

The LM358PWRG3 carries Last Time Buy status, indicating limited future availability. Current inventory of 8870 units supports near-term procurement. The operating temperature range narrows to 0°C to 70°C, which is acceptable for commercial and industrial applications but unsuitable for extended temperature range requirements (-25°C to 85°C).

AD828ANZ Selection Criteria:

The AD828ANZ is selected only when application requirements demand significantly higher bandwidth (130 MHz) and faster slew rate (450 V/µs) performance. This voltage feedback topology is fundamentally different from the general-purpose architecture of the LM258AP and introduces substantially higher supply current consumption (14 mA total versus 1 mA). The AD828ANZ maintains through-hole 8-DIP packaging and Active product status with 3200 units in inventory.

The AD828ANZ is not a direct replacement but rather a performance-enhanced alternative suitable for video amplification, high-speed signal conditioning, and wideband applications where the LM258AP bandwidth limitation (700 kHz) is insufficient.

Compliance and Regulatory Status:

All three devices maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements for EU and international markets. ECCN classification EAR99 applies uniformly across all variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LM358PWRG3 directly replace the LM258AP in existing through-hole PCB designs?

A: No. The LM358PWRG3 uses 8-TSSOP surface-mount packaging (0.173" width, 4.40mm) versus the LM258AP 8-DIP through-hole package (0.300" width, 7.62mm). PCB layout and footprint redesign is required. However, electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the impact of the LM358PWRG3 Last Time Buy status?

A: Last Time Buy designation indicates Texas Instruments will discontinue this product after current inventory depletes. Long-term designs should transition to alternative parts. Current inventory of 8870 units supports medium-term production volumes. Procurement planning should account for limited availability beyond current stock.

Q: Is the AD828ANZ suitable as a drop-in replacement for the LM258AP?

A: The AD828ANZ maintains identical 8-DIP through-hole packaging and two-circuit configuration, enabling physical compatibility. However, electrical characteristics differ significantly. The AD828ANZ exhibits 450 V/µs slew rate (1500× faster) and 130 MHz bandwidth (186× higher) compared to the LM258AP. Supply current consumption increases from 1 mA to 14 mA. The AD828ANZ is not a direct substitute but an alternative for applications requiring higher-speed performance.

Q: What operating temperature range limitations apply to the LM358PWRG3?

A: The LM358PWRG3 operates from 0°C to 70°C, compared to the LM258AP range of -25°C to 85°C. Applications requiring extended low-temperature operation below 0°C or high-temperature operation above 70°C must retain the LM258AP or select alternative devices rated for the required temperature range.

Q: Are all three devices RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The LM258AP, LM358PWRG3, and AD828ANZ all carry ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation, satisfying environmental compliance requirements for EU and international markets.

Q: What is the primary electrical difference between the LM258AP and AD828ANZ?

A: The LM258AP is a general-purpose operational amplifier with 700 kHz gain bandwidth product and 0.3 V/µs slew rate. The AD828ANZ is a voltage feedback video amplifier with 130 MHz bandwidth and 450 V/µs slew rate. The AD828ANZ is designed for high-speed signal processing, while the LM258AP is optimized for low-power, general-purpose applications. These represent different amplifier architectures with distinct performance characteristics.

Q: Can the LM258AP supply voltage range (3V to 32V) be exceeded by either substitute?

A: The LM358PWRG3 supports 3V to 30V, which is slightly lower than the LM258AP maximum of 32V. The AD828ANZ supports 5V to 36V single supply or ±2.5V to ±18V dual supply, providing extended high-voltage capability. Applications requiring operation above 30V single supply should use the AD828ANZ or retain the LM258AP.
