Product details
Overview
LT1167ACN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision instrumentation amplifier requiring only one external resistor to set gains from 1 to 10,000. It delivers 7.5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, 0.3 μV/°C max input offset drift, and 90 dB CMRR at G = 1 - enabling high-accuracy bridge sensor signal conditioning in industrial pressure transducers and medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1167ACN8#PBF datasheet, LT1167ACN8#PBF pinout, LT1167ACN8#PBF application, or LT1167ACN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0.08% max gain error at G = 10, ±2.3V to ±15V supply operation, 8-pin PDIP package with 0°C to 70°C temperature range, and laser-trimmed input offset voltage ≤40 μV.
Technical Context
The LT1167ACN8#PBF implements a three-op-amp instrumentation architecture with laser-trimmed 24.7 kΩ internal resistors and superbeta NPN input transistors. Its gain equation G = 1 + (49.4 kΩ / RG) enables precise programmability using a single external resistor while maintaining matched transconductance scaling across gain settings.
Input bias current remains ≤350 pA via superbeta processing, and ESD protection withstands 13 kV (HBM). The device supports capacitive loads up to 1000 pF without instability and meets IEC 1000-4-2 Level 4 when used with two external 5 kΩ resistors.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar instrumentation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8421ARMZ | Higher bandwidth (12 MHz vs 1 MHz at G = 1), lower noise (3.5 nV/√Hz), but requires dual-supply and has no integrated REF pin | Better suited for high-speed data acquisition; lacks REF pin flexibility for single-ended ADC interfacing | Select AD8421ARMZ when bandwidth >10× LT1167ACN8#PBF is required and REF pin functionality is not needed |
| INA128UA | Lower max gain (10,000 vs same), higher input bias current (1 nA vs 350 pA), wider supply range (±2.25V to ±18V), but lower cost | Acceptable for general-purpose industrial sensing where ultra-low bias current is not critical | Select INA128UA for cost-sensitive applications with relaxed DC accuracy and bias current requirements |
Compared with AD8421ARMZ and INA128UA, the LT1167ACN8#PBF uniquely balances laser-trimmed DC precision, single-resistor gain control, and REF-pin-based level shifting - making it optimal for embedded sensor nodes requiring calibrated, low-drift, low-component-count signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum gain achievable with LT1167ACN8#PBF?
The LT1167ACN8#PBF supports gains from 1 to 10,000, set by a single external resistor RG using the formula G = 1 + (49.4 kΩ / RG). At G = 10,000, RG = 4.945 Ω; practical layout and tolerance considerations recommend using precision metal-film resistors with ≤0.1% tolerance for gains above 100. The LT1167ACN8#PBF maintains 10 ppm nonlinearity even at G = 1000.
Does LT1167ACN8#PBF support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LT1167ACN8#PBF supports single-supply operation when the REF pin is tied to a defined bias voltage (e.g., mid-supply) and input common-mode voltage stays within specified limits (e.g., ≥2.5 V above ground for ±15 V equivalent operation). The barometer application in the datasheet demonstrates valid single-supply use with output referenced to ground. The LT1167ACN8#PBF does not require dual supplies but benefits from them in high-CMRR applications.
What is the purpose of the REF pin on LT1167ACN8#PBF?
The REF pin on the LT1167ACN8#PBF sets the output voltage reference level: VOUT = VREF + G × (V+IN – V–IN). It enables level-shifting without external op amps - for example, connecting REF to an ADC's reference voltage eliminates offset errors in digitized measurements. Series resistance >2 Ω degrades CMRR; the LT1167ACN8#PBF datasheet specifies that low-impedance buffering is essential for best performance.
How does LT1167ACN8#PBF handle capacitive loads?
The LT1167ACN8#PBF is internally compensated to drive capacitive loads up to 1000 pF in any gain configuration without oscillation or excessive overshoot. This capability simplifies interface to ADC input capacitors, long PCB traces, or shielded cables. For loads >1000 pF, external isolation resistance (e.g., 10–50 Ω in series with output) restores stability. The LT1167ACN8#PBF maintains ≤1% overshoot at 1000 pF per typical performance curves.
Is LT1167ACN8#PBF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the LT1167ACN8#PBF carries the #PBF suffix, indicating lead-free finish and full RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The part uses matte tin lead plating and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH. The LT1167ACN8#PBF is qualified for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standards.
