Product details
Overview
LT1013CD from Texas Instruments is a dual precision operational amplifier optimized for low-offset, low-noise, single-supply operation in instrumentation and sensor signal conditioning. It features 150 µV max input offset voltage (25°C), 2 µV/°C max offset drift, 0.5 mA max supply current per amplifier, and rail-to-rail output swing to ground under sink load - enabling accurate DC-coupled amplification in 5-V systems such as thermocouple interfaces and low-side current sensing.
For engineers reviewing the LT1013CD datasheet, LT1013CD pinout, LT1013CD application, or LT1013CD equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-8 package details, functional pin roles, real-world use cases in precision analog front-ends, and two validated alternative parts with documented performance trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LT1013CD employs a bipolar input stage with phase reversal protection and crossover distortion elimination, supporting both ±15 V and single 5 V supply operation. Its input common-mode range extends to VCC− (ground), and output can swing within millivolts of ground while sinking current - critical for unipolar signal chains.
It delivers 1.5 V/µV minimum large-signal voltage gain (RL = 2 kΩ), 97 dB minimum CMRR, and 100 dB minimum PSRR across its 0°C to 70°C operating range. Noise performance includes 0.55 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) and 22 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz, confirming suitability for high-resolution DC measurement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | 200 µV max at 25°C - ensures ≤0.5 mV error in unity-gain buffer at room temperature |
| Offset Drift | 0.7–5 µV/°C max - limits thermal-induced error to <1.5 µV over 10°C ambient shift |
| Supply Current | 0.55 mA max per amplifier - enables dual-channel operation below 1.2 mA total at 5 V |
| Output Swing (5 V) | 0.22 V min above ground (1 mA sink) - supports direct interfacing to 3.3 V ADC reference rails |
| Gain Bandwidth | 0.4 V/µs slew rate - sufficient for <10 kHz small-signal bandwidth in closed-loop gain ≥10 |
| Input Bias Current | −30 nA max - minimizes voltage error across >100 kΩ source impedances |
| CMRR | 97 dB min - rejects >7 kV/V of common-mode interference in differential sensor bridges |
Pinout & Package
LT1013CD is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and gull-wing leads. Thermal resistance is RθJA = 101.6°C/W, suitable for moderate-power analog PCB layouts without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1OUT | Amplifier 1 output - drives feedback network or next-stage input; capable of sinking ≥1 mA to ground |
| 2 | 1IN− | Inverting input of channel 1 - connects to feedback resistor or sensor bridge leg |
| 3 | 2IN+ | Noninverting input of channel 2 - accepts reference voltage or second sensor signal |
| 4 | VCC− | Negative supply terminal - tied to ground in single-supply 5 V operation |
| 5 | 2OUT | Amplifier 2 output - independent channel for dual-path signal conditioning |
| 6 | VCC+ | Positive supply terminal - accepts 5 V (single) or +15 V (dual-supply) input |
| 7 | 1IN+ | Noninverting input of channel 1 - primary sensor input node with ground-referenced common-mode range |
| 8 | 2IN− | Inverting input of channel 2 - used for differential configuration or gain-setting feedback |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply operation | Operates from 5 V with input range including ground and output swing to ground - eliminates need for negative rail in portable sensors |
| Phase reversal protection | Prevents output latch-up when input common-mode exceeds supply rails - enhances robustness in transient-prone industrial environments |
| Low peak-to-peak noise | 0.55 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) - enables sub-16-bit resolution in slow-sampling thermocouple amplifiers |
| High open-loop gain | ≥0.5 V/µV at ±15 V (RL = 600 Ω) - ensures <0.01% gain error in precision instrumentation amplifier configurations |
| ESD tolerance | ±1000 V HBM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for handling in non-ESD-controlled assembly areas |
Applications
| Thermocouple Amplifiers | Low-Side Current Measurement |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Amplifying µV-level outputs from Type-K thermocouples in HVAC controllers with 5 V microcontroller supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual op-amp configured as precision instrumentation amplifier front-end, rejecting common-mode noise from long sensor wires. Use Value: Input offset ≤200 µV and drift ≤5 µV/°C limit temperature error to <0.5°C over 0–70°C ambient range. |
Use Scenario: Sensing motor phase current via 10 mΩ shunt resistor in battery-powered BLDC drives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-supply difference amplifier with ground-referenced inputs measuring voltage drop across low-side shunt. Use Value: Output swing to ground enables direct interface to 0–3.3 V ADC, avoiding level-shifting circuitry. |
| Instrumentation Amplifiers | Medical Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|
Use Scenario: Building 3-op-amp IA for ECG front-end requiring high CMRR and low 1/f noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two LT1013CD units serve as matched input buffers; third implements gain stage. Use Value: Channel separation ≥120 dB prevents crosstalk between differential inputs, preserving signal integrity. |
Use Scenario: Amplifying piezoresistive pressure sensor output in portable patient monitors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel signal conditioner: one amp for sensor excitation regulation, one for output amplification. Use Value: 0.07 pA/√Hz input current noise avoids degradation when driving high-impedance sensor elements (>1 MΩ). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OP27GP | Lower VIO (25 µV typ), higher ICC (1.2 mA), no single-supply rail-to-ground output | Requires ±15 V supplies; unsuitable for 5 V-only systems needing ground-swing output | Select when ultra-low offset dominates over supply constraints and power budget |
| TL072CD | Higher VIO (10 mV max), JFET input (higher Zin), no guaranteed ground-swing output | Not specified for low-voltage single-supply operation; lacks phase reversal protection | Select only for AC-coupled, high-Z source applications where offset and DC accuracy are secondary |
Compared with OP27GP and TL072CD, the LT1013CD uniquely combines guaranteed ground-swing output, phase reversal immunity, and sub-1 mV total offset in a 5 V system - making it irreplaceable for DC-critical, single-rail sensor interfaces where layout simplicity and reliability are prioritized over ultimate speed or input impedance.

FAQ
What supply voltages does the LT1013CD support?
The LT1013CD operates from dual ±15 V supplies or a single 5 V supply. Its input common-mode range extends to VCC− (ground), and output swings to within 220 mV of ground while sinking 1 mA - enabling true single-supply functionality without level-shifting circuitry in the LT1013CD design.
Is the LT1013CD pin-compatible with other dual op-amps in SOIC-8?
The LT1013CD uses standard SOIC-8 pinout (1OUT, 1IN−, 2IN+, VCC−, 2OUT, VCC+, 1IN+, 2IN−), matching industry conventions. However, functional compatibility requires verification of input/output swing, bias current, and supply range - for example, TL072CD lacks guaranteed ground-swing output, so direct substitution in LT1013CD circuits may fail.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LT1013CD?
The LT1013CD is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature. This commercial-grade rating aligns with office and indoor industrial environments. For extended ranges, TI offers the LT1013DI (−40°C to 105°C) and LT1013M (−55°C to 125°C) variants - but the LT1013CD itself is not rated beyond 70°C.
Does the LT1013CD include ESD protection?
Yes, the LT1013CD features ±1000 V HBM and ±500 V CDM ESD ratings per JEDEC standards. These values meet typical handling requirements in automated assembly and field service, though external protection (e.g., series resistors, TVS diodes) remains recommended for high-energy transient environments per TI's application guidance for the LT1013CD.
Can the LT1013CD drive capacitive loads directly?
The LT1013CD is not unity-gain stable into purely capacitive loads. Driving >100 pF directly risks peaking or oscillation. TI recommends isolating capacitive loads with a series resistor (e.g., 10–100 Ω) or using a dedicated buffer stage. This limitation is documented in the LT1013CD datasheet's "Capacitive Load Drive" section and applies regardless of supply configuration.
