Product details
Overview
LT1079SW#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower quad precision operational amplifier in a 16-lead plastic SO wide (SW) 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-rail output sinking capability down to ≤1mV above ground-enabling high-accuracy signal conditioning in battery-powered sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LT1079SW#TRPBF datasheet, LT1079SW#TRPBF pinout, LT1079SW#TRPBF application, or LT1079SW#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 90–480μV offset voltage over temperature (0°C to 70°C), 0.7μV/°C max drift in SW package, 0.1Hz–10Hz voltage noise of 0.6μVP-P, and ability to operate from as low as 2.2V supply while maintaining precision performance without pull-down resistors.
Technical Context
The LT1079SW#TRPBF employs an all-NPN output stage enabling true ground-sinking operation with no external pull-down resistors required. Its input stage incorporates phase-reversal protection, allowing inputs to swing up to –1V below ground without output inversion-a critical feature for transient-tolerant single-supply instrumentation.
Designed specifically for micropower precision, it achieves 2×–10× better noise, speed, and drive capability than prior micropower op amps while maintaining sub-100μA quiescent current per channel. The 0.7Hz 1/f voltage noise corner enables ultra-low-frequency stability essential for thermocouple and RTD amplification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current per Amp | 40–55 μA @ 0°C–70°C - enables multi-channel sensing on coin-cell or Li-ion batteries for >1-year runtime. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 90–480 μV max @ 0°C–70°C - supports 16-bit+ resolution in DC-coupled sensor interfaces without trimming. |
| Offset Voltage Drift | 0.7–4.0 μV/°C max - ensures <100μV total drift over industrial temperature range, critical for unattended remote sensors. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 200 kHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing filters, 60Hz notch designs, and low-frequency transducer signal chains. |
| 0.1Hz–10Hz Voltage Noise | 0.6 μVP-P - enables sub-μV-level resolution in thermocouple and strain gauge amplifiers. |
| Output Low Voltage | ≤130 mV @ 100μA sink - eliminates need for power-wasting pull-down resistors in single-supply comparators and I/V converters. |
| Common Mode Range | Extends to V– – 0.3V - allows direct interfacing with sub-ground transducer outputs or ESD-protected inputs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1079CN | 14-pin PDIP package; 100–150μV max VOS (0°C–70°C); higher θJA = 100°C/W; no SW-package-specific drift spec. | Suitable for prototyping and through-hole PCBs; lacks SW package's thermal and space advantages for compact battery devices. | Select LT1079CN only for breadboard evaluation or legacy through-hole designs where reflow compatibility is not required. |
| OP4177ARZ | Quad precision op amp; 60μV max VOS; 1.3MHz GBW; 1.2mA supply current per amp; SO-16 package; no ground-sinking guarantee. | Higher speed and lower offset, but 26× higher supply current precludes micropower use; requires pull-down resistors for ground swing. | Choose OP4177ARZ only when bandwidth >200kHz or offset <60μV is mandatory and power budget allows ≥1.2mA/amp. |
Compared with LT1079CN and OP4177ARZ, the LT1079SW#TRPBF uniquely balances micropower operation (≤55μA/amp), guaranteed ground-sinking output, and 0.6μVP-P low-frequency noise-making it irreplaceable in long-life, single-supply, ultra-low-noise sensor nodes where both precision and energy efficiency are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum input offset voltage specification for LT1079SW#TRPBF over its operating temperature range?
The LT1079SW#TRPBF has a maximum input offset voltage of 480 μV over the 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for the LT1079SW grade. This value applies under 5V/0V supply conditions and includes statistical process variation across production lots.
Does LT1079SW#TRPBF require external pull-down resistors to achieve ground-swing output?
No, the LT1079SW#TRPBF does not require external pull-down resistors. Its all-NPN output stage sinks current to within ≤130 mV of ground at 100 μA load, enabling true single-supply operation in configurations like instrumentation amplifiers and comparators without added power loss or board space.
Can LT1079SW#TRPBF operate from a single 3V lithium battery?
Yes, the LT1079SW#TRPBF is fully specified for single-supply operation down to 2.2V, making it compatible with a single 3V lithium battery across its entire discharge curve (3.0V to 2.2V). Performance metrics including offset voltage, noise, and output swing remain guaranteed within datasheet limits at 2.2V.
What is the 0.1Hz to 10Hz voltage noise of LT1079SW#TRPBF, and why is it significant?
The LT1079SW#TRPBF exhibits 0.6 μVP-P voltage noise in the 0.1Hz to 10Hz band. This ultra-low flicker noise is critical for DC and near-DC applications such as thermocouple amplification and precision RTD signal conditioning, where 1/f noise dominates error budgets and directly impacts measurement resolution and stability.
Is LT1079SW#TRPBF pin-compatible with other LT1079 variants like LT1079ISW or LT1079ACN?
No, LT1079SW#TRPBF is not pin-compatible with LT1079ISW or LT1079ACN. While all share the same 16-pin SW footprint, the LT1079ISW is rated for –40°C to 85°C and has tighter offset drift (0.7 μV/°C max), whereas LT1079ACN uses a 14-pin PDIP package with different pinout. Package and temperature grade differences preclude direct substitution without layout or thermal redesign.
