Product details
Overview
LT1028ACN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an ultralow-noise, high-speed precision operational amplifier optimized for low-source-impedance signal conditioning. It delivers 0.85nV/√Hz voltage noise at 1kHz, 50MHz gain-bandwidth product, 11V/µs slew rate, ±11.5V output swing into 2kΩ, and 0.1µV/°C typical offset drift - enabling use in photodiode transimpedance amplifiers, hydrophone front-ends, and precision instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1028ACN8#PBF datasheet, LT1028ACN8#PBF pinout, LT1028ACN8#PBF application, or LT1028ACN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 10Hz–1kHz voltage noise performance, guaranteed AC-grade specifications over 0°C to 70°C, DIP-8 package compatibility with legacy OP-07/OP-27 sockets, and absence of external compensation requirements in unity-gain-stable configurations.
Technical Context
The LT1028ACN8#PBF employs a high-bias-current bipolar input stage (≈1mA collector current per side) to achieve sub-1nV/√Hz voltage noise, while maintaining only 25nA max input bias current via precision current-mirror cancellation. Its internal compensation ensures stability at gain ≥ –1 without external components.
Unlike the LT1128 variant, the LT1028ACN8#PBF is specified for inverting configurations with minimum closed-loop gain of –1; it achieves 50MHz GBW and 11V/µs slew rate under ±15V supply, with 114dB CMRR and 117dB PSRR supporting high-precision DC-coupled measurement paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage Noise Density | 0.85nV/√Hz typ @ 1kHz - enables system noise floor < 1nV/√Hz when source impedance < 400Ω |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 50MHz min - supports stable closed-loop operation up to 500kHz with gain = 100 |
| Slew Rate | 11V/µs min - preserves fidelity of >1MHz small-signal transients without slewing distortion |
| Input Offset Voltage | 15µV max @ 25°C - reduces DC error in precision sensor interfaces without trimming |
| Offset Drift | 0.1µV/°C typ - limits thermal-induced error to < 7µV over 0°C–70°C operating range |
| Supply Current | 8.0mA typ - balances ultralow noise against power budget in battery-sensitive instrumentation |
| Output Swing | ±11.5V min into 2kΩ - provides >23Vpp dynamic range for ±15V supplies |
Pinout & Package
LT1028ACN8#PBF uses an 8-pin plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP), with industry-standard pinout compatible with OP-07 and OP-27 sockets. The package features through-hole mounting, 0.3" width, and JEDEC MS-001 compliant dimensions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VOS TRIM | Connects to wiper of 1kΩ potentiometer for manual offset adjustment; unused pins left open |
| 2 | –IN | Inverting input terminal; low-impedance node for feedback networks and signal inversion |
| 3 | +IN | Non-inverting input terminal; high-impedance node for reference or sensor inputs |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail connection; must be decoupled with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 5 | OVER-COMP | Over-compensation capacitor connection (to V+); optional for enhanced phase margin at high gains |
| 6 | OUT | Amplified output terminal; capable of sourcing/sinking ±35mA peak into resistive loads |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply rail connection; requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling |
| 8 | VOS TRIM | Second trim terminal; used with Pin 1 to form balanced nulling network |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1007CN8#PBF | Higher 2.5nV/√Hz noise at 1kHz; lower 1.5MHz GBW; no 100% noise testing | Acceptable where noise < 3nV/√Hz suffices and bandwidth < 1MHz is adequate | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs ultralow-noise requirement and legacy LT1007 design reuse is prioritized |
| OP27GPZ | 1.9nV/√Hz noise; 8MHz GBW; higher 0.2µV/°C drift; requires external nulling for best DC performance | Preferred in general-purpose lab equipment where moderate noise and proven reliability are sufficient | Choose when replacing aging OP27 designs and full LT1028ACN8#PBF noise performance is unnecessary |
Compared with LT1007CN8#PBF and OP27GPZ, the LT1028ACN8#PBF delivers a 3× noise advantage and 6× bandwidth increase - critical for wideband, low-amplitude signal capture - but requires tighter layout attention to avoid pickup due to its extreme sensitivity.

FAQ
What is the maximum source impedance for optimal noise performance of the LT1028ACN8#PBF?
The LT1028ACN8#PBF achieves minimum total input-referred noise when source impedance is ≤400Ω. Above this value, resistor noise dominates; above 20kΩ, current noise becomes dominant. For photodiode TIA designs with 1MΩ feedback, the LT1028ACN8#PBF remains optimal due to its unmatched voltage noise contribution.
Does the LT1028ACN8#PBF require external compensation capacitors?
No - the LT1028ACN8#PBF is internally compensated for unity-gain stability in inverting configurations (gain ≥ –1). External over-compensation (Pin 5 to Pin 6) is optional and only recommended for marginal phase margin in high-gain non-inverting setups, which the LT1028ACN8#PBF does not support.
Can the LT1028ACN8#PBF replace OP-07 or OP-27 in existing designs?
Yes - the LT1028ACN8#PBF uses identical DIP-8 pinout and operates from ±15V supplies like OP-07/OP-27. It fits directly into their sockets without layout changes. However, its lower input offset (15µV vs. 25µV for OP-27) and higher slew rate may reveal previously masked bandwidth limitations in surrounding circuitry.
Is 10Hz voltage noise tested on every LT1028ACN8#PBF unit?
No - 10Hz voltage noise is sample-tested per lot, not 100% tested. The LT1028ACN8#PBF datasheet guarantees 1.0nV/√Hz max at 10Hz based on statistical correlation with 1kHz 100% testing. Units with 100% 10Hz testing are available on request with additional cost and lead time.
What is the thermal performance limitation of the LT1028ACN8#PBF in continuous operation?
The LT1028ACN8#PBF has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and θJA = 150°C/W in the N8 package. At 8.0mA supply current and ±15V rails, power dissipation is ~240mW; with 150°C/W thermal resistance, junction temperature rise is ~36°C above ambient - well within safe limits for operation up to 70°C ambient.
