Product details
Overview
LT1128CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision, ultralow-noise, unity-gain-stable operational amplifier in an 8-lead SOIC package. It delivers 0.85nV/√Hz typical 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 LT1128CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1128CS8#PBF pinout, LT1128CS8#PBF application, or LT1128CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10Hz–1kHz voltage noise performance, ±15V dual-supply operation, 0.1µV/°C typical drift, 7-million minimum open-loop gain, and compatibility with low-source-impedance (<400Ω) transducer interfaces where voltage noise dominates total system noise.
Technical Context
The LT1128CS8#PBF uses a high-bias-current bipolar input stage (≈1mA collector current per input transistor) to achieve sub-1nV/√Hz voltage noise - lower than the thermal noise of a 50Ω resistor. Its unity-gain stability is achieved via internal compensation, eliminating external capacitors required by the LT1028 (gain-of–1 stable variant).
Unlike general-purpose op amps, the LT1128CS8#PBF features fully tested 1kHz voltage and current noise, 100% production screening for noise parameters, and a 1/f voltage noise corner at 14Hz - enabling predictable low-frequency noise modeling in precision DC-coupled measurement chains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage Noise Density | 0.85nV/√Hz typ @ 1kHz - enables detection of microvolt-level signals in low-Z sensor interfaces without dominating system noise floor |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 13MHz min - supports stable closed-loop bandwidth up to ~13MHz at unity gain for fast pulse amplification |
| Slew Rate | 5V/µs min - ensures <100ns rise time for 0.5V step inputs, critical for distortion-free audio and transient capture |
| Input Offset Voltage | 40µV max - reduces DC error in precision instrumentation without requiring external nulling circuitry |
| Open-Loop Voltage Gain | 7 million min - provides >137dB loop gain at 10Hz, ensuring high linearity and low harmonic distortion in feedback networks |
| Supply Current | 10.5mA max - balances ultralow-noise performance with moderate power consumption in ±15V systems |
| Input Bias Current | ±240nA max @ 85°C - remains low enough to avoid significant IR drop across high-value source resistors in TIA applications |
Pinout & Package
LT1128CS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, surface-mount compatible, with JEDEC MS-012AC footprint, 1.27mm lead pitch, and 4.9mm × 3.9mm body size. Thermal resistance θJA = 140°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOS TRIM) | Offset Null Input | Connects to wiper of 1kΩ potentiometer for fine VOS adjustment; does not degrade temperature drift when trimmed to zero |
| 2 (–IN) | Inverting Input | Differential input node; low input capacitance (5pF) minimizes phase shift in high-frequency feedback paths |
| 3 (+IN) | Non-Inverting Input | Differential input node; matched to Pin 2 for CMRR >110dB up to 10kHz |
| 4 (V–) | Negative Supply Rail | Accepts –15V (max –22V); internal ESD protection diodes clamp differential input voltage to ±1.8V |
| 5 (OVER-COMP) | Overcompensation Node | Internal compensation pin; unused in standard configuration but allows external capacitor for enhanced stability with capacitive loads |
| 6 (OUT) | Output | Capable of ±11.0V swing into 2kΩ load; open-loop output impedance is 80Ω for predictable RC rolloff with feedback networks |
| 7 (V+) | Positive Supply Rail | Accepts +15V (max +22V); supply rejection ratio >114dB ensures immunity to rail noise in mixed-signal systems |
| 8 (VOS TRIM) | Offset Null Input | Second terminal of offset trim network; used with Pin 1 to form balanced nulling path |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1028CS8#PBF | Gain-of–1 stable; higher GBW (50MHz min) and slew rate (11V/µs min); 0.85nV/√Hz same noise but requires external compensation | Better for high-speed inverting configurations (>10MHz closed-loop), less suitable for direct unity-gain buffering | Select LT1028CS8#PBF only when gain ≥ –1 is fixed and layout allows compensation capacitor; otherwise LT1128CS8#PBF offers simpler, more robust unity-gain operation |
| OPA1612AIDR | Lower supply current (2.6mA/ch); higher input impedance (10¹³Ω FET input); 1.1nV/√Hz noise at 1kHz - 0.25nV/√Hz noisier | Better for ultra-low-power, high-Z sources (>100kΩ); unsuitable for low-Z photodiode or bridge applications due to higher voltage noise | Choose OPA1612AIDR for battery-powered portable audio or piezoelectric sensors; avoid for <400Ω source impedances where LT1128CS8#PBF's voltage noise advantage is decisive |
Compared with LT1028CS8#PBF, the LT1128CS8#PBF trades 3.8× lower GBW for guaranteed unity-gain stability and simplified layout, while matching ultralow noise; versus OPA1612AIDR, it delivers 23% lower voltage noise at the cost of 4× higher supply current - making it superior for fixed-line, low-Z, high-SNR instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum source resistance for optimal noise performance with the LT1128CS8#PBF?
The LT1128CS8#PBF achieves lowest total input-referred noise with matched source resistances below 400Ω. At 1kHz, its 0.85nV/√Hz voltage noise dominates over resistor and current noise in this range. Above 400Ω, resistor noise increases as √R, and above 4kΩ, current noise becomes dominant - making alternative op amps like LT1007 more suitable. For photodiode TIAs, keep feedback and source impedances ≤400Ω to fully leverage the LT1128CS8#PBF's ultralow voltage noise advantage.
Can the LT1128CS8#PBF be used in single-supply applications?
The LT1128CS8#PBF is specified for dual-supply operation (±4.5V to ±22V) and is not characterized for true single-supply use. Its input common-mode range extends to within 1.5V of each rail, and output swing is limited to ±11.0V into 2kΩ with ±15V supplies - meaning it cannot drive rail-to-rail. While it may function with asymmetric supplies (e.g., +15V/0V), input offset drift, CMRR degradation, and reduced output headroom occur. For single-supply designs, consider purpose-built rail-to-rail op amps; the LT1128CS8#PBF should be used only in properly biased dual-supply systems.
Does the LT1128CS8#PBF require external compensation components?
No, the LT1128CS8#PBF is internally compensated for unity-gain stability and requires no external compensation capacitors under standard conditions. Unlike the LT1028CS8#PBF (which is gain-of–1 stable and requires external compensation for unity gain), the LT1128CS8#PBF can be configured as a stable voltage follower or non-inverting amplifier with gain ≥ +1 without additional components. An external capacitor may be added from Pin 5 (OVER-COMP) to ground only if driving heavy capacitive loads (>100pF) to improve phase margin - but this is optional and not required for basic operation.
How is the 10Hz voltage noise of the LT1128CS8#PBF verified?
The 10Hz voltage noise density of the LT1128CS8#PBF is sample-tested on every production lot, not 100% tested. Full 100% testing at 10Hz is available upon request for an additional charge. In contrast, 1kHz voltage and current noise are 100% tested on every unit using automated production test equipment correlated to Quan Tech Model 5173 reference measurements. The 10Hz value (1.0nV/√Hz typ) is inferred from the 1kHz result and 1/f corner frequency (14Hz), validated by correlation testing - ensuring statistical confidence in low-frequency noise performance without full-unit screening.
Is the LT1128CS8#PBF pin-compatible with OP-27 or LT1007 op amps?
Yes, the LT1128CS8#PBF is socket-compatible with OP-27, OP-37, LT1007, and LT1037 in 8-lead DIP or SOIC footprints - including identical pin 1–8 assignments for power, inputs, output, and offset trim. No PCB changes are needed for drop-in replacement. However, because the LT1128CS8#PBF has higher supply current (10.5mA vs. ~4mA for OP-27), ensure thermal and power delivery margins accommodate the increase. Also verify that unity-gain stability meets the target circuit's phase margin requirements - unlike OP-27, the LT1128CS8#PBF does not require external compensation in follower configurations.
