Product details
Overview
LT1167CS8-1#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 signal conditioning in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LT1167CS8-1#PBF datasheet, LT1167CS8-1#PBF pinout, LT1167CS8-1#PBF application, or LT1167CS8-1#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 ±18 V), and IEC 1000-4-2 Level 4 ESD compliance with two 5 kΩ resistors - all critical for medical transducer amplification and strain gauge front-ends.
Technical Context
The LT1167CS8-1#PBF implements a three-op-amp architecture with laser-trimmed 24.7 kΩ internal resistors and superbeta NPN input transistors, ensuring tight matching and low drift. Its gain equation G = 1 + (49.4 kΩ / RG) enables precise programmability while maintaining 10 ppm max nonlinearity at G = 10.
Unlike the standard LT1167, the "-1" variant features improved input current behavior at high common-mode voltages, supporting high-impedance sensor interfaces without degradation of CMRR or offset stability - confirmed in the Applications Information section of the datasheet.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Range | 1 to 10,000 via single external resistor RG; enables flexible sensor scaling without complex resistor networks. |
| Input Offset Drift | 0.3 μV/°C max (0°C to 70°C); ensures stable DC accuracy across industrial temperature ranges. |
| CMRR at G = 1 | 90 dB min; rejects common-mode interference in noisy plant-floor environments. |
| Supply Current | 1.3 mA max (±2.3 V to ±18 V); supports low-power portable instrumentation designs. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 7.5 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz; preserves signal integrity in low-level thermocouple and strain gauge outputs. |
| ESD Rating | 13 kV HBM; meets IEC 1000-4-2 Level 4 with two external 5 kΩ resistors - validated for field-deployed sensors. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C; specified and tested for commercial/industrial control systems. |
Pinout & Package
LT1167CS8-1#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (S8) package, 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm, with standard SOIC footprint and gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RG (Gain Set) | Connects to external resistor to program gain per G = 1 + (49.4 kΩ / RG); defines full-scale sensitivity. |
| 2 | –IN | Inverting input; accepts differential signal from bridge or transducer with 200 GΩ input resistance. |
| 3 | +IN | Non-inverting input; matched to Pin 2 for >90 dB CMRR; requires symmetric bias paths for best performance. |
| 4 | –VS | Negative supply rail; supports operation down to ±2.3 V; must be decoupled locally for noise immunity. |
| 5 | REF | Reference output node; sets output common-mode level; series resistance degrades CMRR and gain accuracy. |
| 6 | OUTPUT | Single-ended amplified output; drives capacitive loads up to 1000 pF without instability. |
| 7 | +VS | Positive supply rail; supports wide supply range (±2.3 V to ±18 V); enables single-supply operation when REF = –VS. |
| 8 | RG (Gain Set) | Duplicate RG terminal; used for Kelvin connection to minimize PCB trace resistance impact on gain accuracy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed input offset | 40 μV max (G = 10), enabling <10 ppm linearity in precision weigh scales without calibration. |
| Superbeta input stage | 350 pA max input bias current, permitting direct interface to high-impedance piezoresistive sensors. |
| Single-resistor gain programming | G = 1 + (49.4 kΩ / RG) eliminates trimming potentiometers and reduces BOM count in production systems. |
| IEC 1000-4-2 Level 4 compliant | Validated with two 5 kΩ resistors; satisfies EMC requirements for medical and industrial equipment without external protection. |
| Capacitive load drive | Stable with up to 1000 pF output capacitance; eliminates need for isolation resistors in ADC driver stages. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar instrumentation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8421ARZ | Higher bandwidth (10 MHz vs 1 MHz at G = 1), lower noise (3.5 nV/√Hz), but requires dual-supply and lacks IEC 1000-4-2 validation. | Better suited for high-speed data acquisition; not drop-in for legacy LT1167CS8-1#PBF layouts due to different pinout and gain-set topology. | Select AD8421ARZ when bandwidth >1 MHz and noise <4 nV/√Hz are required; verify PCB layout compatibility. |
| INA128UA | Lower supply current (700 μA vs 1.3 mA), wider temp range (–40°C to 85°C), but higher gain error (0.15% vs 0.08% at G = 10). | Preferred for extended-temperature embedded systems where power is constrained but absolute linearity is secondary. | Choose INA128UA for ultra-low-power remote sensors; accept minor gain accuracy trade-off for 46% lower quiescent current. |
Compared with AD8421ARZ and INA128UA, the LT1167CS8-1#PBF uniquely balances IEC-compliant ESD robustness, single-resistor gain simplicity, and sub-μV/°C drift in a commercial-grade SOIC package - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, field-deployed industrial transducers.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT1167CS8-1#PBF and the standard LT1167CS8#PBF?
The LT1167CS8-1#PBF features enhanced input current behavior at high common-mode voltages, as explicitly documented in the Applications Information section of the datasheet. This makes it better suited for high-impedance sensor interfaces where input bias current stability under varying CMV is critical - unlike the standard LT1167CS8#PBF, which does not guarantee this performance.
Can LT1167CS8-1#PBF operate from a single 5 V supply?
Yes, LT1167CS8-1#PBF supports single-supply operation: tie the REF pin to the negative rail (Pin 4), ensure one input remains ≥2.5 V above ground, and keep the output within the specified swing limits (e.g., –VS + 1.4 V to +VS – 1.3 V). The barometer application circuit in the datasheet demonstrates this configuration.
What is the maximum capacitive load LT1167CS8-1#PBF can drive without compensation?
LT1167CS8-1#PBF is stable driving up to 1000 pF capacitive load in any gain configuration, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Typical Performance Characteristics sections. No external isolation resistor or compensation network is required for loads ≤1000 pF.
How is gain set on LT1167CS8-1#PBF, and what tolerance resistor is recommended?
Gain is set by a single external resistor RG connected between Pins 1 and 8, using G = 1 + (49.4 kΩ / RG). For 0.08% gain error at G = 10, a 0.1% tolerance metal-film resistor is recommended - the datasheet confirms 0.05% absolute matching of internal 24.7 kΩ resistors enables this accuracy.
Does LT1167CS8-1#PBF require external offset trimming in typical applications?
No, LT1167CS8-1#PBF is laser-trimmed for low input offset voltage (40 μV max at G = 10) and drift (0.3 μV/°C), eliminating the need for external trimming in most applications. The datasheet states "no external offset trimming is required for most applications," and Figure 2 shows optional circuitry only for edge-case calibration.
