Two amplifiers, one supply

The LM358 holds two independent op-amps sharing the power pins. It was designed for single-supply use from 3 to 32 V, and its inputs work down to ground, which is why it appears in so many sensor circuits.

Know its limits

The output cannot swing closer than roughly 1.5 V to the positive rail, and it is slow by modern standards. For audio or precision work it is the part you prototype with and then replace; for comparators, thresholds and battery projects it is exactly right.
