LM358

The LM358 is a dual low‑power operational amplifier. It contains two independent op‑amps in a single package and can operate from a single power supply (or dual supplies).

It’s extremely popular in signal conditioning, filtering, amplification, and comparator circuits due to its low cost, versatility, and robustness.
