Product details
Overview
ICL7616AMTV from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, ultra-low-input-bias-current CMOS operational amplifier in an 8-pin TO-99 metal-can package, rated for -55°C to +125°C operation. It delivers 1 pA typical input bias current, ±1V to ±8V dual-supply (or 2V–16V single-supply) operation, and programmable quiescent current (10 µA / 100 µA / 1 mA) - enabling precision long-time-constant integrators and picoammeter front-ends in harsh-environment instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7616AMTV datasheet, ICL7616AMTV pinout, ICL7616AMTV application, or ICL7616AMTV equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1 pA bias current at extended temperature, TO-99 hermetic packaging for reliability in aerospace or downhole systems, programmable IQ for trade-offs between bandwidth (up to 1.4 MHz) and power, and validated performance with high-impedance pH and photodiode sensors.
Technical Context
The ICL7616AMTV implements a monolithic CMOS input stage with gate-protected inputs, achieving 10¹² Ω input resistance and 0.01 pA/√Hz input noise current. Its programmable quiescent current is set via the IOSET pin, directly controlling transconductance and thus unity-gain bandwidth (0.044–1.4 MHz) and slew rate (0.016–1.6 V/µs).
Unlike fixed-IQ variants, the ICL7616AMTV supports three discrete IQ modes without external components: IOSET tied to V+ selects 10 µA; floating near mid-rail selects 100 µA; tied to V− selects 1 mA. Output swing reaches within millivolts of rails under light loads (1 MΩ), and its extended common-mode voltage range (–1.3 V to –0.3 V relative to V− at 10 µA IQ) enables true rail-to-rail input operation in single-supply configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical at +25°C; ≤4 nA max at +125°C - enables femtoampere-level signal integrity in picoammeters and electrochemical sensors. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±1 V to ±8 V dual or 2 V to 16 V single - supports battery-powered portable instruments and industrial 12 V/24 V systems. |
| Quiescent Current | Programmable: 10 µA / 100 µA / 1000 µA - allows dynamic optimization of power vs. bandwidth in energy-constrained designs. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 0.044 MHz (10 µA), 0.48 MHz (100 µA), 1.4 MHz (1 mA) - scales linearly with IQ for predictable gain-bandwidth trade-off. |
| Input Resistance | 10¹² Ω - preserves signal fidelity with >100 MΩ source impedances, e.g., glass pH electrodes or unbiased photodiodes. |
| Common-Mode Range | Extends to –1.3 V below V− at 10 µA IQ - permits direct sensing of signals referenced to negative rail or ground in single-supply setups. |
| Output Swing | ±4.7 V into 1 MΩ at ±5 V supplies and –55°C to +125°C - ensures full dynamic range utilization without clipping in wide-temp applications. |
Pinout & Package
ICL7616AMTV uses an 8-pin TO-99 metal-can package with hermetic sealing and case-connected pin 7, optimized for low-leakage, high-reliability analog signal conditioning in extreme environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | V− | Negative supply connection; also reference for IOSET logic level when selecting 100 µA IQ mode. |
| 2 | OUT | Amplifier output; capable of sourcing/sinking current up to ±10 mA depending on load and IQ setting. |
| 3 | OFFSET | Inverting offset null terminal; used with external 25 kΩ potentiometer (wiper to V+) for trimming VOS. |
| 4 | OFFSET | Non-inverting offset null terminal; paired with Pin 3 for manual VOS adjustment. |
| 5 | –IN | Inverting input; guarded layout required to preserve 1 pA bias current spec in PCB design. |
| 6 | +IN | Non-inverting input; same guarding requirement as Pin 5; accepts signals within extended CMVR. |
| 7 | Case | Internally connected to metal can; must be grounded or held at defined potential to prevent leakage paths. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply connection; also reference for IOSET logic level when selecting 10 µA (tie to V+) or 1 mA (tie to V−) IQ modes. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-bias-current op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMP7721MA/NOPB | 1 fA typical bias current (1000× lower), but only rated to +125°C (no –55°C spec); SOIC-8 package only. | Superior for room-temperature lab equipment; unsuitable for extended cold-start or military-spec thermal cycling. | Select LMP7721MA/NOPB only if ambient never drops below –40°C and hermeticity is not required. |
| ADA4530-1ARZ | 0.1 fA bias current, integrated guard buffer, but limited to ±2.5 V supplies and no programmable IQ; 16-lead SOIC. | Optimized for femtoampere electrometers; lacks wide supply range and temperature grade for industrial field use. | Choose ADA4530-1ARZ when ultimate low-current resolution is needed and supply/headroom constraints permit. |
Compared with LMP7721MA/NOPB and ADA4530-1ARZ, the ICL7616AMTV uniquely combines –55°C to +125°C operation, TO-99 hermetic packaging, and programmable IQ - making it the only option qualified for high-reliability, wide-temperature, low-power precision analog front-ends where environmental robustness is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed input bias current for ICL7616AMTV across its full operating temperature range?
The ICL7616AMTV guarantees ≤4 nA maximum input bias current over its full –55°C to +125°C operating range, with 1 pA typical at +25°C. This specification is validated per the manufacturer's electrical characteristics table for ICL76XXM-grade devices under ±5 V supplies and 10 µA quiescent current conditions - critical for maintaining accuracy in picoammeter and integrator applications where bias current directly contributes to offset error.
How does the IOSET pin configure quiescent current in ICL7616AMTV, and what are the valid voltage thresholds?
The IOSET pin on ICL7616AMTV sets quiescent current in three discrete modes: tie to V+ for 10 µA, float between V− + 0.8 V and V+ − 0.8 V for 100 µA, or tie to V− for 1000 µA. These thresholds are specified in the "Detailed Description" section of the datasheet and enable deterministic bandwidth/power scaling without external resistors - a key differentiator versus fixed-IQ op-amps like the ICL7621 series.
Does ICL7616AMTV support single-supply operation, and what is its minimum usable supply voltage?
Yes, ICL7616AMTV supports true single-supply operation from 2 V to 16 V. At 2 V, it maintains functional operation with reduced output swing and bandwidth, verified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Its extended common-mode range (down to –1.3 V below V− at 10 µA IQ) allows input signals referenced to ground even in 2 V systems - essential for battery-powered portable pH or gas sensors.
What is the purpose of the two OFFSET pins on ICL7616AMTV, and how are they used in practice?
The two OFFSET pins (Pins 3 and 4) on ICL7616AMTV provide access to the internal offset-nulling network. A 25 kΩ potentiometer is connected between them, with its wiper tied to V+, allowing manual trimming of input offset voltage. This capability is fully supported at 100 µA and 1 mA IQ settings; at 10 µA IQ, nulling range may be insufficient for higher-VOS variants (e.g., ICL7616D), per the datasheet's "Input Offset Nulling" subsection.
Why is the TO-99 metal-can package used for ICL7616AMTV, and how does pin 7 function electrically?
The TO-99 metal-can package provides hermetic sealing and superior moisture/contamination resistance - critical for maintaining 1 pA input bias current in humid or corrosive environments. Pin 7 is internally bonded to the metal case and must be connected to a clean, low-impedance ground or defined reference potential; leaving it floating creates uncontrolled leakage paths that degrade bias current performance, as emphasized in the "PC Board Layout" section of the datasheet.
