Product details
Overview
LT1011IS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision voltage comparator with open-collector output, designed for high-accuracy threshold detection in single-supply (5V) and dual-supply (±15V) systems. It delivers guaranteed max 0.5mV input offset voltage, 25nA input bias current, 250ns response time, and 50mA output sink/source capability - enabling use in 12-bit SAR A/D converters, precision RC oscillators, and motor speed control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LT1011IS8#PBF datasheet, LT1011IS8#PBF pinout, LT1011IS8#PBF application, or LT1011IS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, SO-8 package compatibility, differential input voltage tolerance up to ±30V, and strobe-enabled output blanking for synchronized sampling.
Technical Context
The LT1011IS8#PBF employs a bipolar input stage with matched transistor pairs to achieve low offset drift (15µV/°C) and high DC gain (≥200,000 V/mV), fully specified across its operating temperature range. Its floating open-collector output supports load referencing to ground, positive supply, or negative supply - with 40V maximum collector-to-V– rating and 50mA continuous sink capability.
Strobe functionality is implemented via Pin 6 (BALANCE/STROBE), requiring current drive (≥500µA) to force output transistor off; offset adjustment uses Pin 5 (BALANCE), allowing fine-tuning of input offset or hysteresis injection. Input common-mode range extends from 300mV above V– to 1.5V below V+, independent of supply voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | Max 0.5mV - ensures ≤0.5mV error in threshold detection at room temperature |
| Input Bias Current | Max 25nA - enables high-impedance sensor interfacing without significant loading |
| Response Time | Max 250ns - supports fast edge detection in pulse generators and timing circuits |
| Output Sink Current | 50mA - drives relays, LEDs, or TTL/CMOS logic directly without external buffers |
| Supply Range | Single 5V or dual ±3V to ±18V - simplifies power architecture in mixed-voltage systems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor control and instrumentation |
| Differential Input Voltage | ±30V - allows direct connection to unconditioned signals like line-synchronized inputs |
Pinout & Package
LT1011IS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (S8) package, RoHS-compliant and lead-free (PBF suffix). The package measures 4.9mm × 3.9mm × 1.75mm with standard SOIC footprint and gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference terminal | Provides return path for internal bias currents; used as emitter output when configured for ground-referenced loads |
| 2 (INPUT+) | Non-inverting input | Positive input node for differential comparison; accepts common-mode voltages up to 1.5V below V+ |
| 3 (INPUT–) | Inverting input | Negative input node; differential input voltage up to full supply rails permitted |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply pin | Connects to negative rail (or ground in single-supply); sets lower bound of input common-mode range |
| 5 (BALANCE) | Offset adjustment / hysteresis injection | Current-driven pin for trimming input offset or adding DC hysteresis (0.5mV/µA sensitivity) |
| 6 (BALANCE/STROBE) | Strobe enable / secondary offset pin | Current-sink input to force output transistor OFF; must be driven (not grounded) for reliable strobing |
| 7 (OUT) | Open-collector output collector | Active-low output node; sinks up to 50mA; can be pulled up to any voltage ≤50V above V– |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply pin | Connects to positive rail; sets upper bound of input common-mode range and powers internal circuitry |

Applications
| SAR A/D Converter Front-End | Precision RC Oscillator |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used as the comparator in a 12-bit successive-approximation ADC (e.g., with AM2504 SAR register and 7475 latch). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compares integrator output against reference to generate bit decisions during conversion cycles. Use Value: Low 0.5mV offset and 250ns response ensure <1 LSB error contribution and support ≥1.4MHz conversion clock rates. | Use Scenario: Forms the core timing element in a low-drift relaxation oscillator using precision resistors and polystyrene capacitors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Switches state at precise thresholds to define charge/discharge intervals of timing capacitor. Use Value: 15µV/°C offset drift and rejection of bias current effects yield <10ppm/°C frequency stability below 10kHz. |
| Motor Speed Controller | Peak Detector |
Use Scenario: Implements error amplifier and zero-crossing detection in closed-loop DC motor tachometer feedback systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compares tach signal against setpoint to generate PWM enable/disable pulses for switch-mode driver (e.g., 2N6667). Use Value: Industrial temp range (–40°C to +85°C) and 50mA output sustain reliable operation in thermally demanding motor enclosures. | Use Scenario: Captures maximum amplitude of analog signals (e.g., sensor outputs or audio envelopes) with minimal droop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects positive/negative peaks and triggers hold capacitor charging via external FET gate control. Use Value: High input impedance (25nA bias) prevents loading of high-Z source impedances; strobe pin enables synchronized peak capture. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM311DR | Higher 2mV max offset, 250nA bias current, slower 200ns typical (not guaranteed) response | Lacks strobe function and guaranteed single-5V specs; requires external pull-up | Lower-cost option where 0.5mV offset and strobe are not required |
| TLV3501CDR | Rail-to-rail input, 4.5ns propagation delay, CMOS output (push-pull), 2.7–5.5V supply only | No open-collector output or strobe pin; incompatible with dual-supply or >5V load interfaces | Better for ultra-fast, low-voltage digital systems but cannot replace LT1011IS8#PBF in industrial analog designs |
Compared with LM311DR and TLV3501CDR, the LT1011IS8#PBF uniquely combines guaranteed low offset, strobe control, wide supply flexibility, and robust open-collector output - making it irreplaceable in precision industrial timing and measurement circuits requiring deterministic behavior across temperature and supply variations.

FAQ
What is the maximum differential input voltage specification for LT1011IS8#PBF?
The LT1011IS8#PBF supports a guaranteed ±30V differential input voltage, meaning the voltage difference between INPUT+ and INPUT– may safely reach 60V total. This rating holds across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range and enables direct interface with high-voltage transducers or unclamped line-derived signals without external attenuation.
Can LT1011IS8#PBF operate from a single 5V supply?
Yes, the LT1011IS8#PBF is fully specified for single 5V operation - including input offset voltage, response time, and output saturation - unlike many comparators that only guarantee performance under dual-supply conditions. This makes LT1011IS8#PBF suitable for integration into modern low-voltage embedded systems without auxiliary supplies.
What is the purpose of the BALANCE/STROBE pin (Pin 6) on LT1011IS8#PBF?
The BALANCE/STROBE pin (Pin 6) serves dual functions: as a strobe input to force the output transistor OFF (providing high-impedance or "hi" collector state), and as a secondary offset adjustment node. For strobing, it must be current-driven (≥500µA), not grounded; for offset trim, it's used with Pin 5 in balanced configurations per the datasheet application circuits.
Does LT1011IS8#PBF have a guaranteed response time over temperature?
Yes, the LT1011IS8#PBF guarantees ≤250ns response time across its full –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, measured with 100mV step and 5mV overdrive into a 500Ω load tied to 5V. This specification appears in the Electrical Characteristics table under "LT1011I" grade, confirming worst-case timing behavior in real-world thermal environments.
How does the open-collector output of LT1011IS8#PBF support load referencing to different supply rails?
The LT1011IS8#PBF open-collector output (Pin 7) allows the collector to be pulled up to any voltage ≤40V above V–, enabling loads referenced to ground, negative supply, or a separate positive rail. This flexibility lets LT1011IS8#PBF interface directly with TTL, CMOS, or relay coils without level-shifting components - a key advantage over push-pull comparators.
