LM358-N: An unclear specification in datasheet

Chong Yu

Part Number: LM358-N

Here is the datasheet:

https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm158-n.pdf

On page 3 in the table of pin functions. It lists pin 5 as +INB but is described as output, channel b and pin 7 as OUTB but is described as Non-Inverting Input, Channel B.

It makes my customer confused.

Please help. Thanks.

In the image at the top, the pin numbers and descriptions are correct. In the table, the pin numbers and names are correct, but the descriptions are not. The image is the original from National; the entries in the description column apparently got mixed up when the table was added by TI in revision H.

Hey Chong Yu,

Thank you for pointing out a mistake in one of our datasheets.
I agree with Clemens that the images are correct and the type of pin (I/O/P) are correct even if the description is not.

I have pointed out the problem to our internal teams.

All the best,
Carolina

Hey Chong Yu,

The internal teams have reached back out and told me this will be fixed in the next revision.
