Product details
Overview
LT1101ACN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision micropower instrumentation amplifier with fixed gains of 10 or 100 in an 8-lead PDIP package. It delivers 0.04% max gain error, 0.0008% (8 ppm) max gain nonlinearity, and 4 ppm/°C max gain drift, operating from single 1.8V supplies or dual ±15V rails - ideal for battery-powered bridge transducer signal conditioning in industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the LT1101ACN8#PBF datasheet, LT1101ACN8#PBF pinout, LT1101ACN8#PBF application, or LT1101ACN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed rail-to-rail input/output swing near ground in single-supply mode, no external gain-setting resistor requirement, and validated performance at 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature with ≤105 µA supply current.
Technical Context
The LT1101ACN8#PBF implements a three-op-amp topology with internal 90R/9R resistor network enabling fixed G = 10 or G = 100 configurations via pin-strapping (Pin 2↔1 and Pin 7↔8 for G = 10). Its PNP-input stage supports ±36V differential input voltage and enables operation down to 1.8V total supply while maintaining CMRR ≥98 dB at G = 100.
Unlike competitive instrumentation amplifiers, it achieves true single-supply functionality: both inputs and output swing within millivolts of ground, eliminating need for pull-down resistors. Output drives ±10V into 2kΩ load with <0.06% gain error, and features no output offset voltage contribution to total error - a unique architectural advantage for precision DC-coupled measurement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Options | Fixed G = 10 or G = 100; selected by shorting Pin 2→1 and Pin 7→8 (G = 10) or leaving open (G = 100) |
| Gain Error | 0.04% max at G = 100, RL = 50kΩ - ensures ≤4 mV error on 10 V output for high-accuracy sensor scaling |
| Input Offset Voltage | 160 µV max - contributes <0.16 mV error at G = 10, critical for µV-level thermocouple signals |
| Supply Current | 105 µA max at TA = 25°C - enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA average-power remote sensor nodes |
| CMRR | 100 dB min at G = 100 - rejects 100 mV common-mode noise as <10 µV differential error |
| Min Supply Voltage | 1.8 V total - supports direct operation from single lithium cell or two Ni-Cd batteries |
| 0.1Hz–10Hz Noise | 0.9 µVp-p typ - low-frequency stability essential for static strain gauge and pressure bridge measurements |
Pinout & Package
LT1101ACN8#PBF uses an 8-lead plastic DIP (N8) package with 0.300-inch width, JEDEC MS-001 compliant, rated for 0°C to 70°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Reference (REF) | Ground reference node for output common-mode level; tied to system ground in single-supply configs |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–IN) | Differential input terminal; internally connected to first-stage PNP emitter |
| 3 | Noninverting Input (+IN) | Differential input terminal; accepts signals down to 0 V in single-supply mode |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply pin; may be connected to ground for single-supply operation |
| 5 | NC | No connection; electrically isolated, must remain unconnected |
| 6 | V+ | Positive supply pin; supports 1.8 V to ±22 V total supply range |
| 7 | Output (OUT) | Amplified differential output; sinks current to ground without external pull-down |
| 8 | NC | No connection; electrically isolated, must remain unconnected |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar instrumentation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8221ARMZ | Gain set by external resistor (G = 1–1000); 350 µA supply current; requires dual supply for rail-to-rail input near ground | Used where programmable gain and higher bandwidth (800 kHz) are needed, but unsuitable for 1.8 V single-supply battery operation | Select AD8221ARMZ only when variable gain and >10× bandwidth outweigh micropower and single-supply constraints |
| INA333AIDR | Zero-drift architecture; 50 µA supply current; G = 1–1000 via resistor; specified down to 1.8 V but input common-mode range excludes ground at G = 100 | Preferred for zero-drift DC stability in long-duration data loggers, but requires level-shifting for true 0 V–referenced bridge inputs | Choose INA333AIDR when offset drift <0.005 µV/°C is mandatory and system can accommodate input biasing networks |
Compared with AD8221ARMZ and INA333AIDR, the LT1101ACN8#PBF uniquely combines fixed low-gain accuracy, sub-100 µA power, and guaranteed 0 V input/output swing - making it irreplaceable in space-constrained, single-cell-powered bridge sensor nodes where external resistors and level shifters are prohibited.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LT1101ACN8#PBF?
The LT1101ACN8#PBF has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±22 V across V+ and V– pins. Operation beyond this limit risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, Analog Devices specifies recommended operating conditions up to ±15 V with derating above 70°C ambient. The LT1101ACN8#PBF maintains full specification compliance from 1.8 V to ±15 V supply range.
Can LT1101ACN8#PBF operate with a single 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the LT1101ACN8#PBF is fully specified to operate from a single 1.8 V supply (V+ = 1.8 V, V– = 0 V), delivering guaranteed gain accuracy and rail-to-rail input/output swing within millivolts of ground. This capability is validated per Note 5 in the datasheet and confirmed across 0°C to 70°C for the AC grade. The LT1101ACN8#PBF achieves this using PNP input stages and optimized internal biasing - a key differentiator versus competing instrumentation amplifiers.
How do I configure LT1101ACN8#PBF for G = 10 versus G = 100?
To configure the LT1101ACN8#PBF for G = 10, short Pin 2 (–IN) to Pin 1 (REF) and Pin 7 (OUT) to Pin 8 (NC). For G = 100, leave Pins 1–2 and 7–8 unconnected - Pin 8 remains floating. This pin-strapping method uses the internal 90R/9R resistor network and requires no external components. The LT1101ACN8#PBF datasheet Figure TA01 provides the exact routing diagram and confirms no performance degradation occurs with either configuration.
Does LT1101ACN8#PBF require external offset nulling circuitry?
No, the LT1101ACN8#PBF does not include dedicated offset null pins and is not designed for external trimming. Its 160 µV max input offset voltage and 0.4 µV/°C drift are factory-trimmed and stable over temperature. In bridge applications, system-level calibration (e.g., zeroing the bridge itself) inherently compensates for LT1101ACN8#PBF offset - eliminating need for nulling networks that would increase power consumption and board area. This design choice preserves the LT1101ACN8#PBF's micropower advantage.
What is the common-mode input voltage range for LT1101ACN8#PBF at G = 100 with ±15 V supplies?
With ±15 V supplies and G = 100, the LT1101ACN8#PBF supports a common-mode input voltage range of –14.4 V to +13.8 V - verified per Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet. This wide range enables direct connection to high-voltage bridges without attenuation. At single 5 V supply (V+ = 5 V, V– = 0 V), the common-mode range extends from 0 V to 3.4 V, allowing full utilization of low-voltage sensor outputs. All values are guaranteed for the AC grade (0°C to 70°C).
