Product details
Overview
LT1167ACS8#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 and medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1167ACS8#PBF datasheet, LT1167ACS8#PBF pinout, LT1167ACS8#PBF application, or LT1167ACS8#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified gain error (0.08% max at G = 10), input bias current (350 pA max), supply range (±2.3 V to ±15 V), ESD rating (13 kV HBM), and SO-8 package compatibility for rapid design-in and layout validation.
Technical Context
The LT1167ACS8#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 while maintaining matched thermal tracking across temperature.
It features a differential input stage with constant-current biasing via feedback loops, delivering low input offset voltage (40 μV max), high input impedance (200 GΩ), and robust common-mode rejection - even with 1 kΩ source imbalance and ±10 V common-mode swing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Range | 1 to 10,000 via single external resistor RG - eliminates multi-resistor networks and matching errors. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 7.5 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - supports low-level sensor signals (e.g., thermocouples, strain gauges) without amplifying noise floor. |
| Input Offset Drift | 0.3 μV/°C max - ensures stable DC accuracy over industrial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). |
| CMRR | 90 dB min at G = 1 with 1 kΩ source imbalance - rejects interference from noisy industrial environments. |
| Supply Current | 1.3 mA max - enables low-power operation on ±2.3 V to ±15 V supplies, suitable for battery-backed systems. |
| ESD Rating | 13 kV HBM - survives handling and board-level ESD events without external protection circuitry. |
| Capacitive Load Drive | Up to 1000 pF - allows direct connection to ADC input capacitors or long traces without instability. |
Pinout & Package
LT1167ACS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8) surface-mount package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | RG (Gain Set) | Connects external resistor to set gain per G = 1 + (49.4 kΩ / RG); pins are internally tied for Kelvin connection. |
| 2 | –IN | Inverting input terminal; accepts differential input voltage referenced to common-mode range. |
| 3 | +IN | Non-inverting input terminal; matched to Pin 2 for optimal CMRR and offset performance. |
| 4 | –VS | Negative supply rail connection; supports operation down to –2.3 V. |
| 5 | REF | Reference output node; output voltage is VOUT = VREF + G × (V+IN – V–IN); series resistance degrades CMRR. |
| 6 | OUTPUT | Single-ended amplified output; drives loads ≥2 kΩ and capacitive loads ≤1000 pF stably. |
| 7 | +VS | Positive supply rail connection; supports operation up to +15 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed input offset | 40 μV max ensures <0.1 mV error in 10 V full-scale bridge measurements without trimming. |
| Single-resistor gain programming | Eliminates precision resistor matching and reduces BOM count versus discrete 3-op-amp designs. |
| High input impedance | 200 GΩ input resistance prevents loading of high-Z sources like piezoelectric sensors. |
| IEC 1000-4-2 Level 4 compliance | Passes 8 kV contact / 15 kV air discharge tests when used with two 5 kΩ external resistors. |
| Wide supply range | Operates from ±2.3 V to ±15 V - supports both low-voltage portable and industrial ±12 V systems. |
Applications

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 lacks IEC 1000-4-2 qualification. | Better suited for high-speed data acquisition; less ideal for cost-sensitive industrial sensors with ESD requirements. | Select AD8421ARMZ when bandwidth >100 kHz and noise <4 nV/√Hz are critical; verify layout for ESD robustness. |
| INA128UA | Lower max gain (10,000 vs 1000), higher input bias current (500 pA vs 350 pA), no guaranteed 13 kV HBM rating. | Widely used in legacy medical designs; lacks the LT1167ACS8#PBF's laser-trimmed 0.08% gain error at G = 10. | Choose INA128UA for pin-compatible replacement in existing boards where gain ≤1000 suffices and ESD margin is secondary. |
Compared with AD8421ARMZ and INA128UA, the LT1167ACS8#PBF uniquely balances ultra-low drift (0.3 μV/°C), IEC-compliant ESD robustness, and single-resistor programmability - making it optimal for precision, low-maintenance sensor interfaces in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum gain achievable with LT1167ACS8#PBF?
The LT1167ACS8#PBF supports gains from 1 to 10,000 using a single external resistor RG, calculated as G = 1 + (49.4 kΩ / RG). At G = 10,000, RG = 4.94 Ω (±0.1% tolerance recommended). The LT1167ACS8#PBF maintains 10 ppm nonlinearity at G = 100 and 20 ppm at G = 1000 under specified conditions.
Does LT1167ACS8#PBF support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LT1167ACS8#PBF operates with single supplies down to +4.6 V (e.g., +4.6 V and GND), provided the REF pin is biased within the input common-mode range and output remains within swing limits. The barometer reference design in the datasheet demonstrates valid single-supply use with output centered at mid-rail.
What is the guaranteed input offset voltage specification for LT1167ACS8#PBF?
The LT1167ACS8#PBF has a maximum input offset voltage of 60 μV at G = 10 and ±15 V supplies, tested over the 0°C to 70°C temperature range. This is laser-trimmed at wafer level and does not require external nulling circuitry in most precision applications.
Can LT1167ACS8#PBF drive ADC input capacitors directly?
Yes, the LT1167ACS8#PBF is characterized to drive capacitive loads up to 1000 pF stably in all gain configurations. This allows direct connection to SAR or delta-sigma ADC inputs without isolation resistors or buffer stages, preserving signal integrity and simplifying layout.
Is LT1167ACS8#PBF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the LT1167ACS8#PBF carries the #PBF suffix indicating lead-free finish and full RoHS compliance. It uses matte tin plating over copper leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3) for standard SMT assembly.
