Product details
Overview
LT1013IN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual precision operational amplifier in an 8-pin PDIP package, designed for low-voltage, single-supply instrumentation applications. It delivers guaranteed input offset voltage ≤150 µV, drift ≤2 µV/°C, supply current ≤500 µA per amplifier, and rail-to-rail output swing to ground while sinking current - enabling high-accuracy signal conditioning in battery-powered thermocouple amplifiers and strain gauge interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LT1013IN8#PBF datasheet, LT1013IN8#PBF pinout, LT1013IN8#PBF application, or LT1013IN8#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, thermal-rated package details (–40°C to +85°C), single-supply operation guidance, and real-world design context for precision analog front-ends in industrial sensing and portable instrumentation.
Technical Context
The LT1013IN8#PBF integrates two matched, laser-trimmed op amps with all-NPN output stages that maintain high open-loop gain (>1.5 million at ±15 V, >1.0 million at 5 V) and low crossover distortion even under single-supply conditions. Its input stage includes 400 Ω series resistors and phase-reversal protection circuitry (Q21–Q28), allowing safe operation with inputs extending 5 V below ground without latch-up or output inversion.
It supports true single-supply operation from 3.4 V to ±22 V, with input common-mode range including ground and output swing to within 3.2 mV of ground (at 1 mA sink, 5 V supply). Channel separation exceeds 120 dB at 1 kHz, minimizing crosstalk in multi-channel sensor systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤150 µV max - enables sub-mV DC accuracy in bridge amplifiers without nulling pins |
| Offset Drift | ≤2 µV/°C max - ensures stable calibration over industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) |
| Supply Current | ≤500 µA per amplifier - allows ultra-low-power operation in 9 V battery systems (e.g., portable DMMs) |
| Output Swing (Low) | ≤3.2 mV above ground (RL = 600 Ω, ISINK = 1 mA) - supports true 0 V reference in 4–20 mA transmitters |
| Common-Mode Rejection | ≥97 dB - rejects noise in high-impedance sensor interfaces like thermocouples and RTDs |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | ~0.8 MHz - sufficient for anti-alias filtering and low-frequency active filters (e.g., <100 Hz seismic sensors) |
| Noise (0.1–10 Hz) | 0.55 µVP-P - critical for high-resolution DC measurements in strain gauge bridges |
Pinout & Package
LT1013IN8#PBF uses the N8 (8-lead PDIP) package with JEDEC MS-001AC footprint, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation and 130°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | –IN A | Inverting input of Amplifier A - referenced to ground in single-supply configurations |
| 2 | +IN A | Non-inverting input of Amplifier A - accepts signals down to 0 V (ground) |
| 3 | OUT A | Amplifier A output - drives loads to within millivolts of ground while sinking ≥1 mA |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply pin - tied to ground in single-supply mode (0 V) |
| 5 | V+ | Positive supply pin - accepts 3.4 V to +22 V (single) or ±22 V (dual) |
| 6 | OUT B | Amplifier B output - independently buffered; no shared output stage |
| 7 | +IN B | Non-inverting input of Amplifier B - electrically isolated from Amplifier A inputs |
| 8 | –IN B | Inverting input of Amplifier B - protected by internal 400 Ω series resistor against negative overvoltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply operation from 3.4 V | Enables direct use with 3× NiCd or Li-ion cells without charge pumps or LDOs |

| Output swings to ground while sinking current | Supports true 0 V output in 4–20 mA loop transmitters without external pull-down resistors |
| Phase reversal protection | Prevents catastrophic lock-up in servo loops when inputs go ≤ –400 mV (e.g., ESD transients on thermocouple lines) |
| Guaranteed low noise (0.55 µVP-P) | Meets 16-bit ADC resolution requirements in 24-bit sigma-delta systems with proper gain staging |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| OP2177ARZ | Lower offset (25 µV typ), higher cost, SO-8 only - no PDIP option | Requires PCB redesign; better for new designs needing tighter DC specs | Select if offset drift <0.6 µV/°C is mandatory and PDIP is not required |
| LM358DR | Higher offset (3 mV max), no phase reversal protection, 700 µA supply current | Acceptable for non-critical consumer-grade applications; fails under negative input transients | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-precision applications where ground-referenced inputs are guaranteed |
Compared with OP2177ARZ and LM358DR, the LT1013IN8#PBF uniquely balances guaranteed precision (150 µV offset), robust single-supply operation (input/output to ground), phase reversal immunity, and through-hole PDIP packaging - making it irreplaceable for legacy industrial upgrades and ruggedized portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LT1013IN8#PBF?
The LT1013IN8#PBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C, matching the "I" grade designation in Linear Technology's ordering matrix. This range is validated across all key parameters including input offset voltage, drift, and output swing - making LT1013IN8#PBF suitable for industrial control cabinets and outdoor sensor nodes without derating.
Does LT1013IN8#PBF support true single-supply operation with input and output referenced to ground?
Yes, LT1013IN8#PBF fully supports single-supply operation from 3.4 V to 5 V. Its input common-mode range extends to ground (0 V), and its output can swing to within 3.2 mV of ground while sinking 1 mA - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VS = 5 V, 0 V conditions. This eliminates level-shifting circuitry in LT1013IN8#PBF-based sensor interfaces.
How does LT1013IN8#PBF prevent phase reversal during negative input transients?
LT1013IN8#PBF incorporates dedicated phase reversal protection circuitry (transistors Q21, Q22, Q27, Q28) that clamps internal node voltages during inputs ≤ –400 mV. Unlike LM358 or OP27, LT1013IN8#PBF maintains correct polarity even at –1.5 V input - critical for protecting servo loops in LT1013IN8#PBF-based motion controllers.
Can LT1013IN8#PBF drive a 600 Ω load while maintaining precision performance?
Yes, LT1013IN8#PBF guarantees large-signal voltage gain ≥1.0 V/µV (1 million) with RL = 600 Ω at ±15 V supply, and ≥0.8 million at 5 V supply. Its all-NPN output stage sustains high open-loop gain under heavy loading - ensuring LT1013IN8#PBF maintains accuracy in 4–20 mA transmitter output stages and active filter buffers driving coaxial cables.
Is LT1013IN8#PBF pin-compatible with legacy dual op amps like MC1458 or LM158?
LT1013IN8#PBF uses the standard 8-pin DIP pinout (N8 package) and is functionally pin-compatible with MC1458, LM158, and OP-221 - but with superior specifications: 150 µV vs. 3000 µV max offset, 2 µV/°C vs. 10 µV/°C drift, and guaranteed ground-swing output. No PCB changes are needed to upgrade existing MC1458 designs to LT1013IN8#PBF.
