LM358: Differences between "PWR" and "PWR-JF" of LM358 PWR-JF

Misaki Takahira

Part Number: LM358

Hi,

Please tell me the difference between "PWR" and "PWR-JF" of LM358 PWR-JF.
I also saw other support posts on the above.
Let me ask you an additional question.

・ Does it mean that there are different dies, not all of them are different, but different dies are also included?
・ How low is the supply current compared to normal products? I want you to clarify the numbers.
・ I would like you to indicate with specific numerical values that the general difference margin is small.

Thank you.

Hello Takahira-san,

I believe you are referring to this post, answered by Ron: https://e2e.ti.com/support/amplifiers-group/amplifiers/f/amplifiers-forum/983933/lm358-difference-between-lm358pwr-and-lm358pwrg4-jf?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=JF#

As Ron mentions, the difference is: "The JF suffix designates a Japan only region device. The JF device has a different silicon die compared to LM358PWR. Subtle differences for 358-JF are lower typical supply current and less typical phase margin. "

I couldn't find anything written in the datasheet, or in any technical articles, application notes, etc. This implies to me that it although slightly lower, the difference is so minimal, it should still fall within the typical specifications of the published datasheet.

The only differences I was able to find were in material content: LM358PWRG4-JF and LM358PWRG4, in which the numbers are still very similar and both have the end result of passing all of TI's quality tests.

All the best,
Carolina
