Product details
Overview
LT1013DP from Texas Instruments is a dual precision operational amplifier in an 8-pin PDIP package, featuring 150 µV max input offset voltage (LT1013AM grade), 2 µV/°C max offset drift, 0.5 mA max supply current per amplifier, and rail-to-rail output swing capability near ground under sinking load-enabling low-side current sensing and thermocouple amplification in industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1013DP datasheet, LT1013DP pinout, LT1013DP application, or LT1013DP equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, validated dual-channel pin mapping for PDIP-8, real-world use cases in precision analog front-ends, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LT1013DP implements a bipolar input stage with matched transistor pairs to achieve low input offset voltage and drift. Its architecture supports single-supply operation down to 5 V with common-mode input range extending to VCC– (ground), and output swing within millivolts of ground when sinking current-critical for unipolar sensor interfaces.
It features phase reversal protection to prevent output inversion during input overdrive, and achieves 114 dB typical CMRR and 117 dB kSVR at ±15 V, ensuring stable closed-loop gain in noisy industrial environments where supply ripple and common-mode transients are present.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | 150 µV max (LT1013AM grade at 25°C) - enables sub-1 mV error in 10 V full-scale measurement systems |
| Offset Tempco | 2 µV/°C max - limits drift to ≤20 µV over 10°C ambient change, critical for uncalibrated temperature-sensitive circuits |
| Supply Current | 0.5 mA max per amplifier - allows dual op-amp operation below 1 mA total, suitable for low-power portable instrumentation |
| Output Swing | Swings to ground while sinking current - supports true zero-output capability in low-side current shunt monitors without level-shifting |
| Gain Bandwidth | 1.5 V/µV min (0.8 V/µV at 600 kΩ load) - provides ≥1.2 MHz unity-gain bandwidth for stable DC-coupled signal conditioning |
| Input Noise | 0.55 µV p-p (0.1–10 Hz), 22 nV/√Hz @1 kHz - preserves signal integrity in µV-level thermocouple and strain gauge amplifiers |
| CMRR | 114 dB typical - rejects >500 kV/V of common-mode interference, essential for high-impedance sensor nodes |
Pinout & Package
LT1013DP uses an 8-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP) with 9.81 mm × 6.35 mm body size and 0.3 inch lead spacing. Pin 1 is located at the left end of the top row when viewed from the top with notch or dot oriented left.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1OUT | Output of amplifier channel 1 - drives feedback network or next-stage input; capable of sourcing/sinking ≥1 mA |
| 2 | 1IN− | Inverting input of channel 1 - connects to feedback resistor in inverting configuration or reference node in differential setup |
| 3 | 1IN+ | Noninverting input of channel 1 - accepts high-impedance sensor signals (e.g., thermocouple, bridge) with minimal loading |
| 4 | VCC− | Negative supply terminal - tied to ground in single-supply mode; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| 5 | 2IN− | Inverting input of channel 2 - isolated from channel 1 for independent dual-signal processing (e.g., dual sensor channels) |
| 6 | VCC+ | Positive supply terminal - accepts 5 V to 30 V total supply range; requires local 0.1 µF bypass to VCC− |
| 7 | 2OUT | Output of amplifier channel 2 - electrically isolated from channel 1 output; shares same supply rails but no internal crosstalk |
| 8 | 2IN+ | Noninverting input of channel 2 - supports simultaneous dual-input conditioning without shared reference path interference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply operation | Operates from 5 V supply with input common-mode range including ground and output swing to ground - eliminates need for negative rail in battery-powered sensors |
| Phase reversal protection | Prevents output inversion when input exceeds supply rails - avoids catastrophic control loop errors in motor driver feedback or safety-critical monitoring |
| Low peak-to-peak noise | 0.55 µV p-p (0.1–10 Hz) - enables resolution of <1 µV signals in 1-second integration windows for precision weigh scales |
| High open-loop gain | 1.5 V/µV minimum (RL = 2 kΩ) - ensures <0.001% gain error in unity-gain buffers driving 2 kΩ loads |
| Low input bias current | −30 nA max (full temp range) - reduces voltage error across 1 MΩ source impedances to <30 mV, preserving accuracy in photodiode amps |
Applications
| Thermocouple Amplifier | Low-Side Current Measurement |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual precision operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OP27GP | Higher speed (2.8 V/µs slew rate), lower noise (3.5 nV/√Hz), but no single-supply ground-swing output capability | Requires dual ±15 V supplies; unsuitable for low-side shunt monitoring without level-shifting circuitry | Select OP27GP only when bandwidth >1 MHz and noise <5 nV/√Hz are required, and dual supply is available |
| TL082CP | JFET input (50 pA IB), higher VIO (10 mV max), no guaranteed ground-swing output or phase reversal protection | Limited to non-critical AC-coupled or high-source-impedance applications; not recommended for precision DC measurements | Choose TL082CP only for cost-sensitive, non-precision designs where input bias current matters more than offset or noise |
Compared with OP27GP and TL082CP, LT1013DP uniquely combines ground-swing output, phase reversal protection, and 150 µV VIO in a PDIP package-making it irreplaceable for single-supply, low-drift, low-side sensing where output headroom and reliability are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LT1013DP?
The LT1013DP is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C, matching the commercial-grade LT1013C/LT1013D specification. It is not rated for extended temperature ranges like the LT1013M (–55°C to 125°C) or LT1013DI (–40°C to 105°C). For designs requiring wider thermal margins, the LT1013DM or LT1013AM in PDIP should be evaluated, though LT1013DP itself remains strictly 0°C–70°C.
Does the LT1013DP support true rail-to-rail input and output operation?
The LT1013DP supports rail-to-rail output swing only on the low side - its output can swing to within millivolts of VCC− (ground) while sinking current, but cannot reach VCC+ (e.g., +5 V) under load. Input common-mode range extends to VCC− but stops ~2 V below VCC+, so it is not rail-to-rail on either port. This makes it ideal for single-supply low-side sensing but unsuitable for full-swing AC coupling.
Can the LT1013DP be used with a single 3.3 V supply?
No - the LT1013DP requires a minimum total supply voltage of 5 V (VCC+ − VCC− ≥ 5 V) per the Recommended Operating Conditions table. At 3.3 V, the internal circuitry fails to bias correctly, resulting in undefined output behavior, excessive offset, and potential phase reversal. Valid single-supply configurations include 5 V (VCC+ = 5 V, VCC− = 0 V) or higher, up to 30 V total.
Is the LT1013DP pin-compatible with other dual op-amps in PDIP-8 packages?
Yes - the LT1013DP follows the industry-standard dual op-amp pinout for PDIP-8: Pin 1 = OUT A, Pin 2 = −IN A, Pin 3 = +IN A, Pin 4 = V−, Pin 5 = −IN B, Pin 6 = V+, Pin 7 = OUT B, Pin 8 = +IN B. This matches LM358, TL082, and OP27GP in PDIP-8, enabling drop-in replacement where electrical specs align - though functional equivalence must be verified per application.
What is the typical input bias current of the LT1013DP at 25°C?
The typical input bias current of the LT1013DP at 25°C is –20 nA (per input), based on the LT1013D specification table. The maximum value across the full 0°C to 70°C range is –38 nA. This bipolar input stage bias current is significantly higher than JFET or CMOS op-amps but enables lower voltage noise and better DC precision in low-impedance sensor interfaces.
