Product details
Overview
LT1078IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower dual precision operational amplifier in an 8-pin SOIC package, optimized for single-supply operation at 5V. It delivers 70μV max input offset voltage, 50μA max supply current per amplifier, 200kHz gain bandwidth, 0.07V/μs slew rate, and rail-to-ground output swing while sinking current-enabling battery-powered instrumentation and remote sensor amplification.
For engineers reviewing the LT1078IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1078IS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1078IS8#TRPBF application, or LT1078IS8#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in thermocouple amplification and micropower filters, and confirmed alternative options for low-power precision analog signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The LT1078IS8#TRPBF employs an all-NPN output stage enabling true ground-swing capability without pull-down resistors, critical for micropower single-supply systems. Its input stage includes series input protection resistors preventing destructive substrate conduction and phase reversal when inputs fall up to 5V below ground-unlike LM124 or OP-290.
It achieves 0.6μVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) voltage noise and 3pAP-P current noise with a 0.7Hz 1/f corner-performance previously seen only in op amps drawing >10× more supply current. Offset voltage drift is specified at 0.6μV/°C (max) over –40°C to +85°C for the IS8 grade.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current per Amp | 50μA max - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in portable sensors. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 180μV max (8-pin SO) - ensures <1mV error in 100× gain thermocouple amplifiers at room temperature. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 200kHz - supports stable closed-loop operation up to 20kHz in unity-gain-stable configurations. |
| Slew Rate | 0.07V/μs - sufficient for 100Hz full-scale sine output with <0.1% distortion in 5V single-supply systems. |
| Output Swing (Low) | ≤130mV above ground at 100μA sink - eliminates need for power-wasting pull-down resistors in instrumentation interfaces. |
| Input Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 0.6μVP-P - enables sub-μV resolution in DC-coupled sensor front-ends without chopper stabilization. |
| Common Mode Range | Includes ground and extends 3.5V above V– - allows direct interfacing with 0–3.3V ADC references and transducer outputs. |
Pinout & Package
LT1078IS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package, following the industry-standard LT1013DS8 pinout-not the traditional DIP configuration. Thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (–IN A) | Inverting input of Amplifier A | Accepts differential signals down to 0.3mV below ground; protected against phase reversal to –1V. |
| 2 (+IN A) | Non-inverting input of Amplifier A | High-impedance node (6GΩ common-mode); bias current ≤0.25nA enables megohm-level source resistors. |
| 3 (OUT A) | Output of Amplifier A | Drives 5mA load; sinks to within 130mV of ground at 100μA-no external pull-down required. |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply terminal | Connected to ground in single-supply mode; input common-mode range extends 0.3V below this pin. |
| 5 (+IN B) | Non-inverting input of Amplifier B | Matched to Pin 2 for instrumentation amplifier applications; typical VOS match ≤110μV (98% yield). |
| 6 (–IN B) | Inverting input of Amplifier B | Electrically identical to Pin 1; supports matched dual-amplifier topologies like difference amplifiers. |
| 7 (OUT B) | Output of Amplifier B | Independent output stage; capable of sourcing/sinking 5mA with same ground-swing performance as OUT A. |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply terminal | Operates from 2.2V to ±22V; minimum 1.8V functional (with offset skew), enabling lithium-cell (2.7–4.2V) compatibility. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-ground output swing | Eliminates external pull-down resistors, reducing quiescent power by ≥300μA in dual-amplifier instrumentation circuits. |
| Phase reversal protection | Prevents output lockup in servo loops when inputs transiently drop to –1V-critical for industrial sensor interfaces. |
| Ultra-low 0.1–10Hz noise | 0.6μVP-P enables high-resolution DC measurements in thermopile and RTD signal chains without post-processing filtering. |
| Single-supply optimized design | Specified at 5V/0V with VCM = 0.1V; offset trimmed at these voltages for minimal drift in battery-powered systems. |
| Micropower precision trade-off avoidance | Delivers 2× higher GBW and 10× lower noise than prior micropower op amps (e.g., OP-290), without sacrificing drive strength. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2050CMS8#TRPBF | Zero-drift architecture; 0.5μV max VOS, 0.005μV/°C drift, but 175μA supply current per amp. | Superior DC accuracy for ultra-stable references; higher power disqualifies it for >5-year battery life requirements. | Select LTC2050 only when sub-μV offset stability over temperature/time outweighs micropower constraints. |
| OPA2333AIDR | Auto-zeroed; 10μV max VOS, 0.02μV/°C drift, 17μA supply current-but limited 160kHz GBW and no guaranteed ground-swing sink capability. | Better for low-drift DC sensors (e.g., strain gauges); unsuitable for applications requiring output sinking without pull-downs. | Choose OPA2333AIDR for lowest drift in low-bandwidth (<10kHz) applications where ground-swing sinking is not required. |
Compared with LTC2050CMS8#TRPBF and OPA2333AIDR, LT1078IS8#TRPBF uniquely balances micropower (50μA), precision (180μV VOS), and true ground-swing sinking-making it irreplaceable in long-life, single-supply instrumentation where both low power and output drive integrity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply current per amplifier for LT1078IS8#TRPBF over temperature?
The LT1078IS8#TRPBF has a maximum supply current of 60μA per amplifier over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, as specified in the I-grade electrical characteristics table. At 25°C, typical current is 43μA, and the device remains fully functional down to 1.8V supply-though offset voltage may shift by –300μV at that minimum voltage. This makes LT1078IS8#TRPBF suitable for multi-year deployments in lithium primary battery systems.
Does LT1078IS8#TRPBF require external pull-down resistors to achieve ground-swing output?
No, LT1078IS8#TRPBF does not require external pull-down resistors. Its all-NPN output stage sinks current to within 130mV of ground at 100μA load and to ≤1.0mV under no-load conditions-enabling true rail-to-ground operation in single-supply configurations. This eliminates the 150–300μA quiescent current penalty imposed by pull-down resistors in competing micropower op amps like OP-290 or HA5141, preserving battery life in portable instrumentation.
Can LT1078IS8#TRPBF be used as a comparator with TTL-compatible output?
Yes, LT1078IS8#TRPBF can function as a precision comparator in single-supply systems. With its ability to swing close to ground while sinking current and its 200kHz gain bandwidth, it delivers TTL-compatible logic-level outputs (0V–5V) when used open-loop with hysteresis. Rise/fall times to 2mV overdrive are ~200μs (at 5V supply), making it suitable for low-speed threshold detection in battery-powered sensors-though dedicated comparators like LT1716 offer faster response.
What is the guaranteed input offset voltage specification for LT1078IS8#TRPBF at –40°C to +85°C?
For the LT1078IS8#TRPBF (I-grade, 8-pin SO), the guaranteed maximum input offset voltage over –40°C to +85°C is 280μV, as stated in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 4 of the datasheet. This applies under VS = 5V/0V, VCM = 0.1V conditions. The typical value is 80μV, and long-term drift is limited to 0.5μV/month, supporting stable performance in uncalibrated field-deployed equipment.
How does LT1078IS8#TRPBF handle input voltages below ground?
LT1078IS8#TRPBF incorporates series input protection resistors that prevent destructive substrate conduction when inputs fall as low as –5V below ground. More critically, its unique phase reversal protection circuitry ensures the output remains stable-even when inputs reach –1V-avoiding lockup in servo or feedback systems. This behavior is verified in Figure 2 of the datasheet and distinguishes LT1078IS8#TRPBF from LM124 or OP-220, which exhibit output inversion under the same condition.
