Product details
Overview
LT1167CN8#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 conditioning in industrial and medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1167CN8#PBF datasheet, LT1167CN8#PBF pinout, LT1167CN8#PBF application, or LT1167CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include gain error (0.08% max at G = 10), input bias current (350 pA max), supply range (±2.3 V to ±18 V), and PDIP-8 package compatibility with legacy analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The LT1167CN8#PBF implements a three-op-amp topology with laser-trimmed 24.7 kΩ internal resistors and superbeta NPN input transistors, enabling precise gain setting via single external RG and achieving <0.3 μV/°C input offset drift. Its preamp stage transconductance scales with programmed gain, maintaining bandwidth efficiency across G = 1–1000.
It supports single-supply operation with REF pin referenced to negative rail, handles capacitive loads up to 1000 pF, and meets IEC 1000-4-2 Level 4 ESD (13 kV HBM) when used with two external 5 kΩ resistors - critical for ruggedized sensor front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Range | 1 to 10,000 set by single external resistor RG; enables flexible scaling without complex resistor networks. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 7.5 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz; ensures low-noise amplification of microvolt-level sensor outputs like strain gauges. |
| Input Offset Drift | 0.3 μV/°C max; minimizes thermal-induced errors in unregulated environments (0°C to 70°C operating range). |
| CMRR | 90 dB min at G = 1; rejects common-mode interference from noisy industrial power supplies or long sensor cables. |
| Supply Current | 1.3 mA max; supports low-power portable instrumentation and battery-backed systems. |
| Input Bias Current | 350 pA max; preserves signal integrity with high-impedance sources (e.g., thermocouples, piezoresistive sensors). |
| Output Swing | ±VS − 1.3 V (RL = 10 kΩ); delivers full-rail-compatible output into standard ADC reference ranges. |
Pinout & Package
LT1167CN8#PBF is housed in an 8-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), suitable for through-hole prototyping and legacy PCB layouts. Thermal resistance θJA = 130°C/W enables stable operation at ambient temperatures up to +70°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | RG (Gain Set) | Connects external resistor to program gain per G = 1 + 49.4 kΩ/RG; no trimming required. |
| 2 | −IN | Inverting input terminal; differential pair base node for high-CMRR signal acquisition. |
| 3 | +IN | Non-inverting input terminal; matched to −IN for <10 ppm nonlinearity at G = 10. |
| 4 | −VS | Negative supply rail; supports ±2.3 V to ±18 V operation; must be decoupled locally. |
| 5 | REF | Reference output node; sets output common-mode level; series resistance degrades CMRR. |
| 6 | OUTPUT | Single-ended amplified output; drives capacitive loads ≤1000 pF without instability. |
| 7 | +VS | Positive supply rail; complements −VS for bipolar or single-supply configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed precision | 40 μV max input offset voltage and 0.08% gain error at G = 10 ensure calibration-free accuracy. |
| Single-resistor gain programming | Eliminates matching errors and layout sensitivity associated with discrete resistor networks. |
| ESD-hardened inputs | 13 kV human-body-model protection enables direct connection to exposed sensor terminals. |
| Capacitive load drive | Stable operation with up to 1000 pF on OUTPUT simplifies anti-aliasing filter integration. |
| Wide supply range | ±2.3 V to ±18 V operation supports both low-voltage portable designs and industrial ±15 V rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar instrumentation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD620ARZ | Higher supply current (1.3 mA vs 1.3 mA typ), lower CMRR (100 dB min at G = 1), no integrated ESD protection. | Requires external ESD diodes for harsh environments; less suitable for direct sensor interface without protection circuitry. | Preferred where ultra-low cost and wide availability outweigh need for integrated ESD robustness. |
| INA128UA | Lower input bias current (50 pA), higher gain error (0.15% max at G = 10), narrower supply range (±2.25 V to ±18 V). | Better for ultra-high-impedance pH or ion-selective electrodes; less optimal for wide-temp industrial use due to higher drift. | Select when bias current dominates design constraints and temperature range is limited to 0°C–70°C. |
Compared with AD620ARZ and INA128UA, the LT1167CN8#PBF offers superior ESD immunity (13 kV HBM), tighter gain error (0.08% vs ≥0.15%), and guaranteed performance across its full 0°C–70°C range - making it optimal for ruggedized, calibration-sensitive sensor interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum gain achievable with LT1167CN8#PBF?
The LT1167CN8#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 LT1167CN8#PBF maintains 10 ppm nonlinearity at G = 100 and 20 ppm at G = 1000 under specified conditions.
Does LT1167CN8#PBF require external trimming for offset voltage?
No - the LT1167CN8#PBF is laser trimmed to deliver ≤40 μV input offset voltage and ≤0.3 μV/°C drift, eliminating the need for external nulling circuits in most applications. Optional offset adjustment is possible via the REF pin using an external op-amp buffer, as shown in Figure 2 of the datasheet.
Can LT1167CN8#PBF operate from a single 5V supply?
Yes - the LT1167CN8#PBF supports single-supply operation down to +4.6 V total (±2.3 V equivalent). With REF tied to ground or mid-rail, and inputs biased within −VS + 2.1 V to +VS − 1.3 V, the LT1167CN8#PBF delivers rail-to-rail compatible output swing while maintaining CMRR and PSRR specifications.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LT1167CN8#PBF package?
The LT1167CN8#PBF uses an 8-lead PDIP package with θJA = 130°C/W. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2S2P test board conditions; actual junction temperature rise depends on PCB copper area, airflow, and ambient temperature. For continuous operation at +70°C ambient, power dissipation should remain below 156 mW.
How does LT1167CN8#PBF handle capacitive loads on its output?
The LT1167CN8#PBF is internally compensated to drive capacitive loads up to 1000 pF in any gain configuration without oscillation or excessive overshoot. This allows direct connection to RC anti-aliasing filters or ADC input capacitance without external isolation resistors - verified in Typical Performance Characteristic Figure 1167 G25.
