Product details
Overview
LT1102CJ8 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-speed, precision JFET-input instrumentation amplifier in an 8-lead CERDIP package, fixed-gain version (G = 10 or 100), delivering 30V/μs slew rate, 35MHz gain-bandwidth product, and 0.05% max gain error - used for fast bridge amplification and multiplexed data acquisition with high source impedance sensors.
For engineers reviewing the LT1102CJ8 datasheet, LT1102CJ8 pinout, LT1102CJ8 application, or LT1102CJ8 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0.01% gain accuracy at G=10/100, sub-40pA input bias current at 70°C, 3μs 0.01% settling time, ±15V supply operation, and CERDIP hermetic packaging for stable performance in industrial temperature range (0°C to 70°C).
Technical Context
The LT1102CJ8 employs a two-op-amp architecture with decompensated second-stage amplification optimized for G=10 stability, enabling high slew rate and bandwidth while maintaining CMRR >97dB at DC. Its FET input stage provides 10¹²Ω common-mode input resistance and eliminates output offset voltage contribution to total error.
Unlike bipolar-input competitors, the LT1102CJ8 exhibits no doubling of input bias current per 10°C rise; bias remains ≤40pA up to +70°C. Gain nonlinearity is specified at ≤16ppm (G=10, RL=50kΩ), and overdrive recovery is 400ns after 50% overdrive - critical for multiplexed sensor systems recovering from channel switching transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Slew Rate | 30 V/μs at G=10 - enables clean amplification of fast step inputs without distortion in data acquisition. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 35 MHz - supports wideband signal conditioning up to ~3.5MHz at G=10 without phase loss. |
| Settling Time (0.01%) | 3 μs at G=10 - ensures accurate digitization of transient signals in multiplexed ADC front-ends. |
| Input Bias Current | 40 pA max at +70°C - preserves signal integrity from high-impedance bridges & photodetectors. |
| Gain Error | 0.05% max - eliminates need for system-level gain calibration in precision measurement applications. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 600 μV max (input + output referred) - contributes <0.006% error at ±10V output full scale. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 98 dB typical at DC - rejects noise from unshielded industrial sensor wiring. |
Pinout & Package
LT1102CJ8 is housed in an 8-lead CERDIP (ceramic dual in-line package), hermetically sealed, 0.300-inch narrow body, suitable for extended reliability in industrial environments. Pin 1 is identified by a notch or dot; leads are tin-plated for solderability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (–IN) | Differential input node; referenced to internal gain-setting network for G=10/100. |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (+IN) | Main signal input; high-impedance FET node accepting ±10.5V common-mode range. |
| 3 | Reference Input (REF) | Output DC level set point; tied to ground or external reference to shift output baseline. |
| 4 | Negative Supply (V–) | Connects to –15V rail; also serves as case ground in metal-can variants (not applicable to CERDIP). |
| 5 | Output (OUT) | Single-ended amplified output capable of ±13.5V swing into 50kΩ load. |
| 6 | Positive Supply (V+) | Connects to +15V rail; supplies both input and output stages with low-noise biasing. |
| 7 | Gain Select (G=100) | Internally connected to configure fixed G=100; open or grounded for G=10 mode (per datasheet TA03). |
| 8 | NC / Gain Select (G=10) | No-connect in standard configuration; used with pin 7 to select gain via external resistor networks per AI02. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET input stage | Enables ≤40pA input bias current at +70°C - essential for high-resistance sensor interfaces without drift-induced errors. |
| Fixed gain architecture (G=10/100) | Eliminates external gain-setting resistor, reducing layout sensitivity and improving long-term gain stability. |
| No output offset contribution | Removes output-stage offset from total error budget - simplifies system-level calibration and improves DC accuracy. |
| Indefinite output short-circuit duration | Allows safe operation during test, fault, or probe contact events without latch-up or damage. |
| 18pF compensation option (pin 1–2) | Restores CMRR >80dB up to 30kHz in G=100 mode - maintains rejection of high-frequency common-mode noise. |
Applications
| Bridge Amplifier | Multiplexed Data Acquisition |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar instrumentation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8429ARZ | Lower input bias current (0.6pA typ), higher CMRR (140dB), but slower settling (8μs @ 0.01%) and no CERDIP option. | Better for ultra-low-drift lab equipment; less suitable for high-throughput industrial DAQ requiring <4μs settling. | Select AD8429ARZ when ultimate DC precision outweighs speed; verify PCB footprint compatibility (SOIC-8 vs CERDIP-8). |
| INA128U | Slower slew rate (1.5V/μs), wider supply range (±2.25V to ±18V), lower cost, but higher gain error (0.05% typ, not max) and no guaranteed 40pA bias at 70°C. | Preferred for battery-powered portable instruments where power efficiency and supply flexibility matter more than speed. | Choose INA128U for cost-sensitive, low-power designs; confirm thermal derating of bias current in elevated ambient conditions. |
Compared with AD8429ARZ and INA128U, the LT1102CJ8 uniquely balances 30V/μs slew rate, 40pA input bias at +70°C, and hermetic CERDIP packaging - making it optimal for ruggedized, high-speed industrial sensor signal chains where reliability and transient fidelity are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LT1102CJ8?
The LT1102CJ8 is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation, matching the "C" grade designation. This range is validated per datasheet Section "Absolute Maximum Ratings" and confirmed in Electrical Characteristics tables for LT1102C/LT1102AC. The CERDIP package provides thermal stability within this envelope, and supply current remains ≤5.6mA across the full range.
Does the LT1102CJ8 require external components to set gain?
No, the LT1102CJ8 does not require external gain-setting resistors. It offers factory-trimmed fixed gains of 10 and 100, with gain error specified at 0.05% maximum. Pin configuration (e.g., grounding pin 7) selects the gain mode per datasheet Figure TA03. This eliminates resistor tolerance, thermal drift, and layout sensitivity - a core design advantage of the LT1102CJ8.
Can the LT1102CJ8 drive heavy capacitive loads?
Yes, the LT1102CJ8 can drive up to 2.2nF capacitive loads without oscillation, as verified in Typical Performance Characteristic TPC08. For loads >1nF, series output resistance (e.g., 10–50Ω) is recommended to maintain phase margin. The device's ability to drive 2.2nF is explicitly documented in the "Typical Application" section and distinguishes it from many competing instrumentation amplifiers.
What is the input voltage range specification for the LT1102CJ8?
The LT1102CJ8 supports a differential input voltage range of ±40V and a common-mode input voltage range of ±20V (with ±15V supplies). Per datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics, the input stage tolerates overvoltage clamping down to V– – 0.7V and up to V+ + 0.7V, enabling robust operation in noisy industrial settings without external protection circuitry.
Is the LT1102CJ8 pin-compatible with other LT1102 variants like LT1102CN8?
Yes, the LT1102CJ8 is pin-compatible with LT1102CN8 (PDIP) and LT1102ACH (TO-5 metal can) - all share identical 8-pin topology, pin functions, and electrical behavior. However, thermal resistance (θJA) differs: CERDIP (J8) is 130°C/W, PDIP (N8) is 100°C/W, and TO-5 (H) is 60°C/W. Layout and heatsinking must be adapted accordingly for equivalent thermal performance.
