Product details
Overview
LT1028CSW#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, audio preamps, and sensor front-ends where noise dominates system performance.
For engineers reviewing the LT1028CSW#PBF datasheet, LT1028CSW#PBF pinout, LT1028CSW#PBF application, or LT1028CSW#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 0.1Hz–10Hz noise (35nVP-P), guaranteed 100% tested 1kHz voltage/current noise, stable operation at unity gain (via external compensation), and compatibility with SOIC-16 wide-body PCB footprints requiring no layout revision from legacy LT1028 variants.
Technical Context
The LT1028CSW#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 noise performance is validated across 0.1Hz–10Hz (35nVP-P) and 10Hz/1kHz spectral densities (1.0/0.85nV/√Hz), with 1/f corner at 3.5Hz.
Stability is managed via external over-compensation capacitor (pin 5 to pin 6), supporting closed-loop gains ≥ –1 while maintaining phase margin >60° with 10pF capacitive load. Input bias current remains low (±30nA max) despite high transconductance, enabled by precision bias cancellation circuitry that minimizes correlated current noise contributions.

Pinout & Package
LT1028CSW#PBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic SOIC (wide) package (SW package), with exposed pad for thermal enhancement and standard 1.27mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by notch/dot; pins 1–8 occupy one side, pins 9–16 the opposite.

| 8 | NC | No Connect - electrically isolated; leave unconnected |
| 9 | NC | No Connect - electrically isolated; leave unconnected |
| 10 | NC | No Connect - electrically isolated; leave unconnected |
| 11 | V+ | Positive supply rail - connects to +15V (or +5V to +18V) with local 0.1µF bypass |
| 12 | OUT | Amplifier output - drives loads ≥600Ω; requires series resistor for capacitive loads >100pF |
| 13 | OVER-COMP | Over-compensation terminal - connect capacitor (15–30pF) from pin 13 to pin 5 to stabilize unity-gain configurations |
| 14 | VOS TRIM (+) | Non-inverting input to internal offset nulling network - connect opposite end of 1kΩ potentiometer here |

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 1kHz voltage noise (2.5nV/√Hz), lower GBW (6MHz), DIP-8 package | Better suited for medium-noise, low-power applications where 0.85nV/√Hz is unnecessary | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs ultralow-noise requirement and SOIC-16 footprint is not mandatory |
| OPA1612AIDR | Lower current noise (0.6pA/√Hz), dual-channel, 100% 1kHz noise tested, SOIC-8 | Preferred for dual-amplifier layouts or high-source-impedance (>1kΩ) sensors where current noise dominates | Choose for space-constrained dual-channel designs or when matching LT1028CSW#PBF's noise floor is not required |
Compared with LT1007CN8#PBF and OPA1612AIDR, the LT1028CSW#PBF uniquely combines sub-1nV/√Hz voltage noise with 50MHz bandwidth in a single-channel SOIC-16 package - making it irreplaceable in ultra-low-noise, wideband single-ended front-ends where voltage noise is the limiting factor.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LT1028CSW#PBF can drive stably?
The LT1028CSW#PBF can drive up to 10pF capacitive load in unity-gain configuration without external compensation. For loads >10pF, stability is ensured by connecting a 15–30pF capacitor between pin 13 (OVER-COMP) and pin 5 (+IN). This over-compensation technique preserves phase margin above 60° while maintaining usable bandwidth - critical for driving ADC input filters or long cables in data acquisition systems. The LT1028CSW#PBF datasheet validates this behavior up to 100pF with appropriate compensation.
Does the LT1028CSW#PBF require external nulling components for precision DC performance?
No - the LT1028CSW#PBF features factory-trimmed input offset voltage (40µV max) and drift (0.8µV/°C max), eliminating need for external nulling in most applications. However, pin 3 (VOS TRIM –) and pin 14 (VOS TRIM +) support connection of a 1kΩ potentiometer for fine adjustment if sub-10µV offset is required. Using this pot adds only (VOS/300)µV/°C drift penalty - e.g., adjusting to 300µV introduces just 1µV/°C extra drift. The LT1028CSW#PBF's internal trimming makes it drop-in compatible with OP-07/OP-27 sockets without modification.
How does the LT1028CSW#PBF's noise performance compare to the LT1128 variant?
The LT1028CSW#PBF is optimized for inverting configurations (gain ≥ –1), delivering 0.85nV/√Hz noise at 1kHz and 50MHz GBW. The LT1128 offers +1-gain stability but trades noise (0.9nV/√Hz) and bandwidth (13MHz GBW) for unity-gain robustness. Both share identical 35nVP-P 0.1Hz–10Hz noise and 0.1µV/°C drift specs. Thus, the LT1028CSW#PBF is preferred when maximum bandwidth and lowest voltage noise are prioritized in inverting topologies, while LT1128 suits non-inverting buffers where stability trumps noise.
Is the LT1028CSW#PBF suitable for single-supply operation?
The LT1028CSW#PBF is specified for dual-supply operation (±4.5V to ±18V) and is not characterized for true single-supply use. Its input common-mode range extends to ±11V with ±15V supplies, but input stage headroom and output swing degrade significantly below ±5V. For single-supply applications requiring similar noise performance, consider the ADA4898-1 (1.1nV/√Hz, 1GHz GBW) or OPA1611 (1.1nV/√Hz, 45MHz GBW) - both designed for 2.7V–36V operation. The LT1028CSW#PBF's architecture assumes symmetric rails for optimal noise and linearity.
What thermal considerations apply to the LT1028CSW#PBF in SOIC-16 wide-body package?
The LT1028CSW#PBF in SW package has θJA = 130°C/W and θJC = 40°C/W. At 10.5mA supply current and ±15V rails, power dissipation reaches ~315mW - raising junction temperature by ~41°C above ambient in standard 2-layer PCB layout. To maintain <125°C TJ, keep ambient ≤84°C or add copper pour under the exposed pad. The LT1028CSW#PBF's noise and drift specs are guaranteed over 0°C–70°C case temperature; exceeding this range risks parametric shift. Thermal design must prioritize heatsinking over speed optimization.
