The LM358NG is an Operational Amplifier features low power drain, a common mode input voltage range extending to ground/VEE and single supply or split supply operation. This is equivalent to one-half of an LM324. This amplifier has several distinct advantages over standard operational amplifier types in single supply applications. It can operate at supply voltages as low as 3V or as high as 32V with quiescent currents about one-fifth of those associated with the MC1741 (on a per amplifier basis). The common mode input range includes the negative supply, thereby eliminating the necessity for external biasing components in many applications. The output voltage range also includes the negative power supply voltage.
