NE5532 Pinout
NE5532 Dual Op-Amp · Dual low-noise op-amp; common in audio circuits; needs dual supplies or biasing.
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Output | Op-amp A output |
| 2 | IN1− | Input | Op-amp A inverting input |
| 3 | IN1+ | Input | Op-amp A non-inverting input |
| 4 | V− | GND | Negative supply (tie to the negative rail with dual supplies) |
| 5 | IN2+ | Input | Op-amp B non-inverting input |
| 6 | IN2− | Input | Op-amp B inverting input |
| 7 | OUT2 | Output | Op-amp B output |
| 8 | V+ | Power | Positive supply (±3 to ±20V) |
How to read the NE5532 pinout
- 01
Find pin 1
One end of the chip has a half-circle notch or a dot; with the notch facing up, the top-left pin is pin 1.
- 02
Count counter-clockwise
Count counter-clockwise from pin 1: go down the left side first, then up the right side from the bottom.
- 03
Check the table below
Look up each pin's function by number in the table below; power/ground are color-coded, and alternate-function signals are in parentheses.
Frequently asked questions
Can the NE5532 run on a single supply?
Yes, but you must bias the inputs (VCC/2); it is designed for dual-supply audio, so watch output swing and distortion on a single supply.
Does it have the same pinout as the LM358?
Same pinout (8-pin dual op-amp). The NE5532 has lower noise and higher bandwidth, suiting audio; the LM358 is cheap and general-purpose.
Pinout data comes from TI NE5532 datasheet (standard DIP-8 numbering). Refer to the actual device datasheet as authoritative for the pinout.
