  • LM358N vs LM358P for the Surf Pi - Is there really a difference?

    In the thread 'Surf Pi Pro', au1 shared their experience with the LM358N and LM358P chips:

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but thats your problem. You need a TLC555 instead of NE555. If you look at the data-sheet there is a big difference. If I recall correctly the TLC555 runs at 2.1 MHZ.
    And the LM358P only has about half the gain as the LM358N. I have 50 LM358P here and trust me, they won't work. It took me about a week to figure this out.




    I have ordered both TLC555 and LM358N to replace the NE555 and LM358P on my 1.2 longboard as a test. However, the IC seller has sent the same LM358P I was already using and is adamant they're 100% the same operationally.

    Can anyone confirm any difference in these ICs beyond who manufactured the chip?

    Many thanks.

    "The ?P? suffix is Texas Instruments? code for a plastic, dual-inline package, and the ?N? was used by the device?s original manufacturer, National Semiconductor, which was absorbed by Texas Instruments in 2011. In most cases, the electrical and mechanical characteristics of parts with these different suffixes are interchangeable."
