LM358 IC

The LM358 IC, a highly popular integrated circuit, serves as a versatile and crucial component in the realm of electronics.

The LM358 IC is primarily known as a motor driver IC. It can control the direction and speed of two DC motors or a single stepper motor, making it indispensable in robotics, automotive projects, and industrial automation.

The IC contains two H-bridge circuits, so allowing bidirectional control of motors. This configuration enables precise control over motor movements, enabling forward, reverse, braking, and free-wheeling operations.

LM358 is capable of handling relatively high currents (up to 600mA) and voltages (up to 36V), making it suitable for a wide range of motor types and sizes.

The IC features built-in diodes (known as freewheeling diodes) that provide a safe path for the back EMF (electromotive force) generated by the motor, so protecting the IC from voltage spikes.

The LM358 comes in a convenient 16-pin package with clearly defined pins, but making it user-friendly and easy to integrate into circuits. Its straightforward interfacing simplifies the design process.

The IC exhibits low saturation voltage, reducing power dissipation and enhancing efficiency. because This feature ensures that the motor driver operates with minimal energy loss.

Some variants of LM358 come with thermal protection, preventing the IC from overheating during prolonged use. This feature enhances the IC’s reliability and longevity.
