Product details
Overview
ICL7611ACSA from Maxim Integrated is a single, ultra-low-input-bias-current CMOS operational amplifier with pin-selectable quiescent current (10 μA / 100 μA / 1 mA), ±1 V to ±8 V dual-supply operation (or 2–16 V single supply), 1 pA typical input bias current at +25°C, and rail-to-rail output swing within millivolts of supply rails - optimized for high-impedance sensor interfacing including pH meters and photodiode amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7611ACSA datasheet, ICL7611ACSA pinout, ICL7611ACSA application, or ICL7611ACSA equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping to 8-pin SOIC (SA), confirmed pin functions, real-world use cases in battery-powered instrumentation and picoammeters, and two validated alternative op amps with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The ICL7611ACSA implements a monolithic CMOS input stage enabling 10¹² Ω input impedance and 1 pA bias current, making it suitable for integrating ultra-high-source-impedance signals without significant error. Its programmable quiescent current directly scales unity-gain bandwidth (0.044 MHz at 10 μA → 1.4 MHz at 1 mA) and slew rate (0.016 V/µs → 1.6 V/µs), while maintaining rail-to-rail output swing across all IQ settings.
Internal frequency compensation ensures stable unity-gain operation; offset nulling is supported via dedicated OFFSET pins, and common-mode voltage range extends to ±4.4 V (at IQ = 10 μA, ±5 V supplies). The device operates over 0°C to +70°C and meets C-series temperature grade requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical at +25°C - enables accurate amplification of femtoamp-level currents from photodiodes or ion-selective electrodes |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±1 V to ±8 V dual or 2–16 V single - supports low-voltage battery operation (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V systems) and wide industrial rails |
| Quiescent Current Options | 10 μA / 100 μA / 1 mA - selectable via IQ pin voltage; allows dynamic trade-off between power and bandwidth/slew rate |
| Output Voltage Swing | ±4.8 V min (RL = 1 MΩ, TA ≤ +70°C, ±5 V supplies) - delivers >96% rail-to-rail swing for maximum dynamic range |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 0.044 MHz (IQ = 10 μA), 0.48 MHz (IQ = 100 μA), 1.4 MHz (IQ = 1 mA) - scalable bandwidth matching signal frequency content |
| Input Offset Voltage | 2 mV max at +25°C (A-grade) - low initial error reduces need for trimming in precision DC-coupled stages |
| Input Impedance | 10¹² Ω - prevents loading of high-Z sources such as glass pH electrodes or piezoelectric sensors |
Pinout & Package
ICL7611ACSA is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package (SA code), surface-mount, 150 mil body width, standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OFFSET | Offset null connection point; used with external potentiometer to trim input offset voltage |
| 2 | IN− | Inverting input terminal; high-impedance CMOS node for feedback or differential signal routing |
| 3 | IN+ | Non-inverting input terminal; accepts high-impedance sensor signals without loading |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply rail connection; referenced for bias current return path and common-mode range |
| 5 | IOSET | Quiescent current selection input; voltage level sets IQ to 10 μA (to V+), 100 μA (mid-rail), or 1 mA (to V−) |
| 6 | OUTPUT | Amplifier output; rail-to-rail capable, drives loads ≥10 kΩ depending on IQ setting |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply rail connection; establishes upper common-mode and output swing limit |
| 8 | OFFSET | Second offset null terminal; completes nulling network with Pin 1 and external potentiometer |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low input bias current | 1 pA typical enables direct coupling to >1 GΩ source impedances without measurable error |
| Programmable quiescent current | Three discrete IQ settings allow precise optimization of power vs. speed for each application stage |
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings within <5 mV of V+ and V−, maximizing usable output voltage range in low-supply systems |
| Internal unity-gain compensation | Stable operation at AV = 1 eliminates need for external compensation components in most configurations |
| Offset null capability | Dedicated OFFSET pins support manual trimming to reduce system-level DC error below 1 mV |
| Wide supply range | Operates from ±1 V to ±8 V - compatible with coin-cell, Li-ion, and industrial multi-rail power domains |
Applications

|
Use Scenario: Measuring sub-picoamp leakage currents in semiconductor packaging validation and insulation testing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage current-to-voltage converter with guarded input and active guarding capability. Use Value: Confirmed 1 pA bias current and 0.01 pA/√Hz noise current enable resolution down to 0.1 pA in 1 Hz bandwidth - critical for compliance testing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-bias-current operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1050CS8#PBF | Chopper-stabilized architecture; 0.005 pA typical IB, but higher 1/f noise and 20 µV VOS; fixed 170 µA IQ | Better long-term DC stability; less suitable for high-frequency photodiode TIA due to chopping artifacts | Select when ultra-low drift (<0.01 µV/°C) and near-zero VOS drift outweigh bandwidth needs |
| TLC27L1CDR | Single CMOS op amp; 0.2 pA typical IB at +25°C, but degrades to 500 pA at +70°C; no IQ selection; 1.4 mV VOS max | Lower cost and wider availability; insufficient for >50 °C industrial pH meter use | Select for cost-sensitive, room-temperature, low-bandwidth sensor buffers where 0.5 pA drift is acceptable |
Compared with ICL7611ACSA, LTC1050CS8#PBF offers superior DC precision but sacrifices small-signal bandwidth and introduces switching noise, while TLC27L1CDR provides lower cost and simpler biasing but cannot maintain sub-picoamp performance across the full 0°C to +70°C range.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the ICL7611ACSA?
The ICL7611ACSA supports a total supply voltage (V+ to V−) up to +18 V. This allows operation from ±8 V dual supplies or 2–16 V single supplies. Absolute maximum ratings specify that exceeding +18 V may cause permanent damage; derating is required above +25°C ambient per package thermal limits.
How do I configure the quiescent current for ICL7611ACSA?
Quiescent current in the ICL7611ACSA is set by the voltage applied to Pin 5 (IOSET): connect IOSET to V+ for 10 μA, bias IOSET between V− + 0.8 V and V+ − 0.8 V for 100 μA, or connect IOSET to V− for 1 mA. This selection directly scales bandwidth, slew rate, and output drive capability.
Does the ICL7611ACSA require external frequency compensation?
No - the ICL7611ACSA is internally compensated for stable unity-gain operation. Unlike the ICL7614 variant, it does not require an external capacitor between COMP and OUT pins. This simplifies layout and ensures predictable phase margin across its specified operating conditions.
Can ICL7611ACSA be used in single-supply configurations?
Yes - the ICL7611ACSA operates from single supplies ranging from 2 V to 16 V. Its input common-mode range includes the negative rail (V−), and its rail-to-rail output swings within millivolts of both supply rails, enabling true single-supply signal processing without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the guaranteed input bias current specification for ICL7611ACSA over temperature?
For the ICL7611ACSA (C-temp grade, 0°C to +70°C), input bias current is guaranteed ≤500 pA across the full temperature range. At +25°C, typical value is 1 pA, with a maximum of 4 nA at +125°C - though the latter applies only to M-grade variants, not the AC-grade device.
