Product details
Overview
LT1128CN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision, ultralow-noise, unity-gain-stable operational amplifier in an 8-lead PDIP package. It delivers 0.85nV/√Hz typical input voltage noise at 1kHz, 13MHz minimum gain-bandwidth product, 5V/µs minimum slew rate, and 40µV maximum input offset voltage - optimized for high-fidelity audio preamplification, photodiode transimpedance amplification, and low-noise sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LT1128CN8#PBF datasheet, LT1128CN8#PBF pinout, LT1128CN8#PBF application, or LT1128CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10Hz–1kHz voltage noise performance, ±15V dual-supply operation, 0.1µV/°C typical offset drift, stable +1 closed-loop gain configuration, and compatibility with low-impedance (<400Ω) source networks where voltage noise dominates total system noise.
Technical Context
The LT1128CN8#PBF uses a high-bias-current bipolar input stage (≈1mA collector current per input transistor) to achieve sub-1nV/√Hz voltage noise, while maintaining only 25nA typical input bias current via internal cancellation circuitry. Its unity-gain stability is achieved through internal compensation, eliminating external capacitors required by the LT1028 variant.
It operates over 0°C to 70°C (Commercial grade), supports ±4.5V to ±18V supply ranges, and features 110dB minimum CMRR and 114dB minimum PSRR - enabling precision DC-coupled amplification in noisy industrial or instrumentation environments without significant common-mode or supply-induced error.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage Noise Density | 0.85nV/√Hz typ @ 1kHz - enables detection of sub-µV signals in low-Z transducer interfaces |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 13MHz min - supports stable 100kHz closed-loop bandwidth at gain = 100 |
| Slew Rate | 5V/µs min - ensures <1% THD for 20VP-P output at 10kHz with 600Ω load |
| Input Offset Voltage | 40µV max - reduces DC error to <4mV in ×100 gain stages without trimming |
| Offset Drift | 0.8µV/°C max - limits thermal drift to <56µV over 70°C ambient range |
| Supply Current | 10.5mA max - balances ultralow noise with moderate power consumption in battery-adjacent analog front-ends |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 110dB min - rejects >100,000:1 of supply- or ground-borne interference |
Pinout & Package
LT1128CN8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DIP (N8) package with 0.3-inch width, JEDEC MS-001 compliant footprint, and through-hole mounting. Thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W enables operation up to 70°C ambient without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (–IN) | Differential input node; high-impedance, low-bias-current terminal for feedback network connection |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (+IN) | Differential input node; referenced to system ground or bias voltage in single-ended configurations |
| 3 | V– | Negative supply rail; must be decoupled with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 4 | V+ | Positive supply rail; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass to minimize supply-induced noise coupling |
| 5 | Output (OUT) | Class-A output stage capable of ±11.5V swing into 2kΩ load; drives cables or ADC inputs directly |
| 6 | Over-Compensation (OVER-COMP) | Internal compensation node; left unconnected for unity-gain stability (default configuration) |
| 7 | VOS TRIM | Offset nulling terminal; used with 1kΩ potentiometer between Pins 1 and 5 for fine DC adjustment |
| 8 | VOS TRIM | Second offset nulling terminal; completes 3-terminal potentiometer connection for VOS trimming |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow 1kHz voltage noise | 0.85nV/√Hz typ - outperforms most precision op amps below 400Ω source impedance |
| Unity-gain stable architecture | No external compensation required - simplifies layout and eliminates stability tuning for buffer applications |
| 100% tested voltage noise | 1kHz en guaranteed per unit - eliminates sampling uncertainty in noise-critical production test |
| Low 10Hz flicker noise | 1.0nV/√Hz typ - maintains signal integrity in DC-coupled EEG, hydrophone, and bridge amplifier designs |
| High PSRR & CMRR | 114dB PSRR / 110dB CMRR min - preserves accuracy in shared-supply mixed-signal systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision low-noise op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1028CN8#PBF | Inverting-stable only (gain ≥ –1); 75MHz GBW; 11V/µs SR; higher noise at >10kHz due to wider bandwidth | Better for high-speed inverting gain stages (>100kHz), less suitable for unity-gain buffers or photodiode TIAs | Select LT1028CN8#PBF when closed-loop gain is ≥ –1 and bandwidth >20MHz is required |
| OPA1612AIDR | FET-input; 1.1nV/√Hz @ 1kHz; rail-to-rail output; 40MHz GBW; lower IB (1.3pA) but higher voltage noise | Preferred for ultra-high-Z sources (>100kΩ) or single-supply systems; unsuitable for <400Ω source impedance | Choose OPA1612AIDR for JFET-input benefits and rail-to-rail output where voltage noise >1nV/√Hz is acceptable |
Compared with LT1028CN8#PBF and OPA1612AIDR, LT1128CN8#PBF uniquely combines unity-gain stability, sub-0.9nV/√Hz noise, and bipolar input linearity - making it the optimal choice for low-impedance, DC-coupled, high-dynamic-range analog front-ends where gain = +1 is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LT1128CN8#PBF?
The LT1128CN8#PBF is specified for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to 70°C. It is not rated for extended industrial (–40°C to 85°C) or military (–55°C to 125°C) ranges; those grades require LT1128ACN8#PBF or LT1128AMN8#PBF variants. The N8 package has θJA = 150°C/W, limiting practical ambient use to ≤65°C at full 10.5mA supply current without heatsinking.
Can the LT1128CN8#PBF drive a 600Ω load at ±10V output swing?
Yes - the LT1128CN8#PBF guarantees ±10.5V minimum output swing into 600Ω at 0°C to 70°C, per Electrical Characteristics table on page 4 of the datasheet. At 25°C and ±15V supplies, typical performance reaches ±11.0V. This makes LT1128CN8#PBF suitable for driving legacy audio line inputs, ADC drivers, and low-impedance sensor interfaces without external buffering.
Is the LT1128CN8#PBF pin-compatible with the OP-27 or LT1007?
No - the LT1128CN8#PBF uses an 8-pin DIP pinout optimized for its internal compensation and offset trim architecture (Pins 6–8 assigned to OVER-COMP and dual VOS TRIM). OP-27 and LT1007 follow standard 8-pin op amp pinouts (Pin 1 = NC or offset null, Pin 5 = NC or offset null, Pin 6 = OUT). Direct socket replacement is not possible without PCB modification or adapter.
Does the LT1128CN8#PBF require external compensation capacitors?
No - the LT1128CN8#PBF is internally compensated for unity-gain stability. Pin 6 (OVER-COMP) is reserved for optional external over-compensation in specialized low-noise, low-distortion configurations but must remain unconnected for standard +1 gain operation. Unlike the LT1028, no external capacitor is needed to ensure stability at gain = +1.
How is input offset voltage trimmed in the LT1128CN8#PBF?
The LT1128CN8#PBF undergoes wafer-level laser trimming of input offset voltage, achieving 40µV max without external components. For finer adjustment, a 1kΩ potentiometer is connected between Pin 1 (–IN), Pin 5 (OUT), and Pin 7/8 (VOS TRIM terminals), enabling ±1.1mV adjustment range. Trimming introduces predictable drift: (VOS/300) µV/°C - e.g., 300µV trim adds 1µV/°C drift.
