Product details
Overview
LT1102CN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-speed, precision JFET-input instrumentation amplifier in an 8-lead PDIP package with fixed gains of 10 or 100. It delivers 30V/μs slew rate, 35MHz gain-bandwidth product, 3μs settling time to 0.01%, and ±150mA output drive capability-optimized for fast analog signal processing in data acquisition and sensor conditioning systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1102CN8#PBF datasheet, LT1102CN8#PBF pinout, LT1102CN8#PBF application, or LT1102CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed gain accuracy (0.05% max), ultra-low input bias current (40pA max at 70°C), <180μV input offset voltage, and robust ±40V differential input rating-critical for high-impedance bridge and photodetector interfaces.
Technical Context
The LT1102CN8#PBF uses a two-op-amp architecture with decompensated second-stage amplification for G = 10 stability, enabling high slew rate and bandwidth while maintaining CMRR >98dB at DC. Its FET input stage ensures minimal input bias current drift (<0.5pA/°C to 70°C) and no doubling per 10°C rise-unlike bipolar-input competitors.
Gain is factory-set to 10 or 100 via internal resistor networks (90R/9R topology); no external gain-setting resistor is required. For G = 100, a 18pF capacitor between pins 1 and 2 improves CMRR by 10× from 200Hz–30kHz, addressing frequency-dependent rejection limitations inherent in fixed-gain topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Slew Rate | 30 V/μs at G = 10 - enables clean 20V step response within 3μs to 0.01% error |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 35 MHz - supports stable closed-loop operation up to 3.5MHz at G = 10 |
| Settling Time (0.01%) | 3 μs for 20V step - meets timing requirements in multiplexed DAQ systems sampling at ≥300kSPS |
| Input Bias Current | 40 pA max at 70°C - preserves signal integrity from >1GΩ source impedances (e.g., piezoelectric sensors) |
| Gain Error | 0.05% max - eliminates need for system-level gain calibration in precision bridge measurements |
| Input Offset Voltage | 600 μV max (input + output referred) - contributes <0.006% error in ±10V full-scale applications |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 98 dB at DC - rejects noise from unshielded industrial wiring without additional filtering |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±20 V - accommodates overvoltage transients and wide dynamic range sensor outputs |
Pinout & Package
LT1102CN8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP, N8), 0.300-inch width, with standard through-hole mounting and RoHS-compliant lead finish (#PBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (–IN) | Differential input node; accepts signals referenced to ground or REF; rated for ±40V differential input |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (+IN) | Differential input node; high-impedance JFET input (≥10¹² Ω) minimizes loading on high-Z sources |
| 3 | Reference Input (REF) | Output common-mode level setting node; tied to ground for single-ended output at mid-supply |
| 4 | Negative Supply (V–) | Connects to –15V (or –20V max); case is internally connected to V– in N8 package |
| 5 | Output (OUT) | Capable of ±150mA short-circuit current; drives 75Ω loads to 330kHz with ±10V swing |
| 6 | Positive Supply (V+) | Connects to +15V (or +20V max); supplies both input and output stages |
| 7 | Ground (GND) | Power ground reference; separate from REF to avoid ground loop errors in precision layouts |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection; left unconnected per datasheet - not used for gain configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed G = 10 / G = 100 operation | Eliminates external gain resistor tolerance errors and layout sensitivity; simplifies BOM and layout |
| FET input stage with 40pA IB max | Enables direct interfacing with capacitive sensors, photodiodes, and high-resistance bridges without signal degradation |
| ±40V differential input rating | Withstands transient overloads common in industrial field wiring without clamping diodes or external protection |
| Indefinite output short-circuit duration | Allows safe operation during test, fault, or hot-plug conditions without thermal shutdown or latch-up |
| 18pF pin-1-to-pin-2 compensation | Restores CMRR above 200Hz in G = 100 mode-critical for AC-coupled sensor signals in noisy environments |
| 0.01% gain accuracy (typical) | Reduces system calibration burden in medical and test equipment requiring traceable measurement uncertainty |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar instrumentation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8429ARZ | G = 100 only; 50V/μs slew rate; 5.5nV/√Hz voltage noise; requires external gain resistor for G ≠ 100 | Better noise performance but lacks G = 10 option and fixed-gain simplicity | Select AD8429ARZ when ultra-low noise dominates over gain flexibility and board space |
| INA128UA | G = 1–10,000 via external resistor; 0.4V/μs slew rate; 125μV offset; bipolar input (2nA IB) | Wider gain range but 50× higher input bias current limits high-Z sensor use | Select INA128UA when variable gain and cost sensitivity outweigh speed and input impedance needs |
Compared with AD8429ARZ and INA128UA, LT1102CN8#PBF uniquely combines fixed high-speed gain (G = 10/100), sub-40pA input bias, and ±40V differential input tolerance-making it optimal for uncalibrated, high-impedance, high-transient industrial sensing where layout simplicity and overload robustness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for LT1102CN8#PBF?
The LT1102CN8#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (C-grade). This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table, where LT1102C specifies 0°C to 70°C, and the N8 package is designated for commercial temperature versions. Industrial-grade variants (e.g., LT1102IN8) extend to –40°C to 85°C, but LT1102CN8#PBF itself is strictly commercial grade.
Does LT1102CN8#PBF require external components to set gain?
No, LT1102CN8#PBF does not require external components to set gain. It is factory-configured for fixed gains of 10 or 100 using internal laser-trimmed resistor networks (90R/9R topology). The datasheet explicitly states "No external gain setting resistor is required," and pin 8 is NC-not used for gain configuration. Gain selection is determined at manufacture and cannot be altered in-circuit.
Can LT1102CN8#PBF drive heavy capacitive loads like 2.2nF?
Yes, LT1102CN8#PBF is characterized to drive 2.2nF capacitive loads without oscillation, as documented in Typical Performance Characteristics (TPC08). At G = 10, overshoot remains below 20% up to 100nF; at G = 100, stability is maintained up to 10nF. For 2.2nF, the device exhibits <5% overshoot and settles within specification-enabling direct interface with ADC input capacitors or long cables without isolation resistors.
What is the input common-mode voltage range for LT1102CN8#PBF?
The input common-mode voltage range for LT1102CN8#PBF is –11V to +11.5V with ±15V supplies, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3). This range is asymmetric due to internal topology and exceeds rail-to-rail capability-allowing inputs to swing 1.5V beyond the negative rail and 1.5V short of the positive rail, critical for interfacing with grounded sensors in split-supply systems.
Is LT1102CN8#PBF pin-compatible with other LT1102 variants like LT1102IN8 or LT1102ACN8?
Yes, LT1102CN8#PBF is pin-compatible with all N8-package variants including LT1102IN8 and LT1102ACN8. All share identical 8-lead PDIP (N8) mechanical dimensions, pin numbering, and terminal functions per the Top View diagrams (pages 2 and 12). Differences are limited to temperature grade (C vs I vs AC) and screening-electrical pinout, supply connections, and gain configuration are functionally identical across N8 variants.
