LM358 Datasheet
The LM358 is a low power dual operational amplifier integrated circuit originally introduced by National Semiconductor.[1] It is used in detector circuits.

The abbreviation LM358 indicates an 8-pin integrated circuit, comprising two operational amplifiers at low power. The LM358 is designed for general use as amplifiers, high-pass filters, low band pass filters, and analog adders.

 

The abbreviation LM358 indicates an 8-pin integrated circuit,

No, it doesn't.

LM358 is not an abbreviation, it is the part number of the device. The LM358 actually is 1/2 of an LM324 quad opamp.

In National's part number process at that time, the 3 in 358 indicated that this was a commercial-grade device. The LM258 was screened for industrial environments, and the LM158 was screened for military environments. This is shown on page 4 of the datasheet.

Hi,

The LM stands for Linear Monolithic, or at least it used to.
