Product details
Overview
LT1028CN8#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 typical voltage noise at 1kHz, 50MHz minimum gain-bandwidth product, 11V/µs minimum slew rate, ±11.5V output swing into 2kΩ, and 0.1µV/°C typical input offset drift - enabling high-fidelity amplification in photodiode transimpedance stages and audio front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LT1028CN8#PBF datasheet, LT1028CN8#PBF pinout, LT1028CN8#PBF application, or LT1028CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 10Hz–1kHz voltage noise performance, guaranteed gain-bandwidth under ±15V supply, thermal stability across 0°C to 70°C, and compatibility with legacy OP-27/OP-37 sockets without layout modification.
Technical Context
The LT1028CN8#PBF employs a high-bias-current bipolar input stage (≈1mA collector current per side) to achieve sub-1nV/√Hz voltage noise - lower than the thermal noise of a 50Ω resistor. Its architecture avoids JFET inputs to preserve voltage noise dominance while maintaining 25nA max input bias current via precision current mirroring.
Stability is ensured for inverting configurations (gain ≥ –1) through internal compensation; unity-gain stability requires the LT1128 variant. The device features dual trim pins (VOS TRIM) for post-mount offset adjustment without degrading temperature drift, and robust ±22V absolute maximum supply rating supports industrial ±15V systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage Noise Density | 0.85nV/√Hz typ @ 1kHz - enables detection of signals buried below thermal noise of ≤50Ω sources |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 50MHz min - supports stable closed-loop gain of 100 up to 500kHz |
| Slew Rate | 11V/µs min - preserves fidelity of >10VP-P signals at >1MHz without slewing distortion |
| Input Offset Voltage | 40µV max - ensures ≤4mV error in 100× gain stages without trimming |
| Offset Drift | 0.8µV/°C max - limits drift-induced error to <56µV over 70°C ambient range |
| Supply Current | 10.5mA max - balances ultralow noise against power budget in precision analog chains |
| CMRR | 110dB min - rejects common-mode interference in bridge sensor interfaces |
Pinout & Package
LT1028CN8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DIP (N8 package), 0.300" wide, with JEDEC MS-001AC footprint and 150°C max junction temperature. Pin 1 is top-left corner (notch-down orientation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 (–IN) | Inverting input | High-impedance differential node; matched to Pin 3 for CMRR optimization |
| 3 (+IN) | Non-inverting input | Accepts low-impedance sensor signals; thermally symmetric layout critical for drift control |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply | Must be decoupled with 0.1µF ceramic near pin; supports –22V abs max |
| 5 (OUT) | Output | Capable of ±11.5V swing into 2kΩ; drives 600Ω loads with ≤1.5V drop |
| 6 (OVER-COMP) | Overcompensation | Optional capacitor (15–30pF) to Pin 7 improves stability with capacitive loads >10pF |
| 7 (+IN) | Positive supply | Must be decoupled with 0.1µF ceramic near pin; supports +22V abs max |
| 8 (VOS TRIM) | Offset null reference | Completes trim network; tie to Pin 1 via potentiometer wiper |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA1612AIDR | 2.1nV/√Hz noise @ 1kHz, 40MHz GBW, JFET input, lower IB (1.3pA) | Better for high-Z sources (>10kΩ); unsuitable for <100Ω source impedance due to higher voltage noise | Select when input bias current dominates noise budget and source impedance exceeds 1kΩ |
| LT1007CN8#PBF | 2.0nV/√Hz noise @ 1kHz, 8MHz GBW, bipolar input, 40nA IB | Lower bandwidth suits DC–100kHz sensor interfaces; less demanding on PCB layout for stability | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-frequency applications where 0.85nV/√Hz noise is unnecessary |
Compared with OPA1612AIDR and LT1007CN8#PBF, the LT1028CN8#PBF uniquely delivers sub-1nV/√Hz noise with 50MHz bandwidth - making it irreplaceable in ultralow-noise, wideband applications like photodiode TIA and RF receiver IF amplifiers where both noise floor and speed are simultaneously critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for LT1028CN8#PBF?
The LT1028CN8#PBF is specified for operation from 0°C to 70°C (Commercial grade). Its absolute maximum junction temperature is 150°C, and storage temperature range extends from –65°C to +150°C. For extended temperature ranges (e.g., –40°C to +85°C), consult Analog Devices' I-grade variants such as LT1028ACN8#PBF.
Can LT1028CN8#PBF be used in unity-gain non-inverting configurations?
No - the LT1028CN8#PBF is only stable for inverting gains of –1 or greater. Unity-gain buffer operation requires the LT1128CN8#PBF, which is explicitly gain-of-+1 stable. Attempting unity-gain non-inverting use with LT1028CN8#PBF will cause oscillation due to insufficient phase margin.
How is input offset voltage trimmed in LT1028CN8#PBF?
The LT1028CN8#PBF undergoes wafer-level laser trimming of input offset voltage, achieving 40µV max without external components. Pins 1 and 8 support optional fine-tuning using a 1kΩ potentiometer; adjusting to zero preserves the 0.1µV/°C typical drift, while non-zero settings add (VOS/300)µV/°C drift penalty.
Does LT1028CN8#PBF require external compensation capacitors?
External compensation is optional. Pin 6 (OVER-COMP) allows connection of a 15–30pF capacitor to Pin 7 (+VS) to improve phase margin when driving capacitive loads >10pF. For purely resistive loads ≤10pF, no external capacitor is needed - the LT1028CN8#PBF is internally compensated for gain ≥ –1.
Is LT1028CN8#PBF lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the "#PBF" suffix denotes lead-free finish and RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin plating over copper leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
