Product details
Overview
LT1167CS8#TRPBF 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, 0.08% max gain error at G = 10, and 40 μV max input offset voltage (laser-trimmed), operating from ±2.3 V to ±15 V supplies. It is widely used in strain gauge and thermocouple amplification where high CMRR and low drift are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LT1167CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1167CS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1167CS8#TRPBF application, or LT1167CS8#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SO-8 package terminal mapping, real-world bridge-sensor interface use cases, and validated alternative parts for design continuity and sourcing flexibility.
Technical Context
The LT1167CS8#TRPBF implements a three-op-amp instrumentation architecture with laser-trimmed 24.7 kΩ internal resistors enabling accurate gain setting via a single external RG resistor (G = 1 + 49.4 kΩ/RG). Its superbeta NPN input stage achieves 350 pA max input bias current and 200 GΩ input resistance while maintaining 90 dB min CMRR at G = 1 over temperature.
It features fully differential input stage with constant-current biasing through feedback loops that impress input differential voltage across RG, ensuring gain accuracy independent of source imbalance. The output stage drives capacitive loads up to 1000 pF without instability and supports reference-level shifting via the dedicated REF pin for single-supply operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Range | 1 to 10,000 set by single external resistor RG - eliminates multi-resistor matching errors in discrete designs |
| Input Offset Voltage | 40 μV max (G = 10, TA = 25°C) - enables sub-100 μV system-level offset budgets in precision sensor front-ends |
| CMRR | 90 dB min at G = 1 (0°C to 70°C) - rejects common-mode interference from noisy industrial environments |
| Supply Current | 1.3 mA max (±2.3 V to ±18 V) - supports low-power portable and battery-backed instrumentation |
| Input Voltage Noise | 7.5 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - preserves signal integrity in low-level transducer outputs like strain gauges |
| Bandwidth | 1000 kHz at G = 1, 12 kHz at G = 1000 - supports DC-coupled static measurements and moderate-speed dynamic sensing |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial and industrial control applications without extended thermal validation |
Pinout & Package
LT1167CS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant and tape-and-reel packaged for automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RG (Gain Set) | Connects to external resistor to define gain (G = 1 + 49.4 kΩ/RG); high-impedance node sensitive to leakage |
| 2 | –IN (Inverting Input) | Differential input terminal; requires matched impedance path to avoid CMRR degradation |
| 3 | +IN (Non-inverting Input) | Differential input terminal; paired with Pin 2 for bridge, thermocouple, or other differential sources |
| 4 | –VS (Negative Supply) | Ground or negative rail connection; must be low-impedance to maintain PSRR >105 dB |
| 5 | REF (Reference) | Output reference level; output = VOUT – VREF = G × (V+IN – V–IN); series resistance degrades CMRR |
| 6 | OUTPUT | Single-ended amplified output; capable of driving ≥2 kΩ load with <10 ppm nonlinearity |
| 7 | +VS (Positive Supply) | Positive supply rail; supports wide range from ±2.3 V to ±18 V for flexible system integration |
| 8 | RG (Gain Set) | Duplicate RG terminal - internally connected to Pin 1; both pins must be tied to same external resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed gain-setting resistors | 24.7 kΩ absolute value with 0.05% accuracy at G = 100 - ensures gain error ≤0.08% without calibration |

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 (10 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, low-noise applications (e.g., fast transient detection); lacks single-supply flexibility of LT1167CS8#TRPBF | Select AD8421ARMZ when bandwidth >1 MHz and noise <4 nV/√Hz are required; verify REF-level handling in system architecture |
| INA128UA | Lower max gain (10,000), higher input bias current (500 pA), wider temp range (–40°C to 125°C), but lower cost and pin-compatible SO-8 footprint | Preferred for cost-sensitive, extended-temperature industrial controls where 0.15% gain error is acceptable | Choose INA128UA for high-volume production with tighter BOM cost targets; confirm 0.15% gain error meets system accuracy budget |
Compared with AD8421ARMZ and INA128UA, the LT1167CS8#TRPBF uniquely balances ultra-low input bias current (350 pA), integrated REF pin for flexible level-shifting, and IEC 1000-4-2 compliance - making it optimal for precision, low-power, and EMC-robust sensor interfaces in commercial-grade equipment.

FAQ
What is the maximum gain achievable with LT1167CS8#TRPBF and how is it set?
The LT1167CS8#TRPBF supports gains from 1 to 10,000, set precisely using a single external resistor RG connected between Pins 1 and 8. The gain equation is G = 1 + 49.4 kΩ/RG; for G = 10,000, RG = 4.94 Ω. The LT1167CS8#TRPBF's laser-trimmed internal resistors ensure 0.08% max gain error at G = 10, eliminating need for multi-resistor networks or calibration.
Does LT1167CS8#TRPBF support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LT1167CS8#TRPBF supports single-supply operation by tying the REF pin (Pin 5) to a defined reference voltage (e.g., mid-rail or ground), provided the input common-mode voltage stays within spec (e.g., ≥2.5 V above ground for ±15 V equivalent operation) and output remains within swing limits. The barometer application in the datasheet demonstrates valid single-supply use with LT1167CS8#TRPBF.
What is the input bias current specification for LT1167CS8#TRPBF and why does it matter?
The LT1167CS8#TRPBF has a maximum input bias current of 350 pA at 25°C, achieved via superbeta NPN input transistors. This ultra-low value prevents voltage errors when interfacing with high-impedance sources like piezoresistive bridges or thermocouples - ensuring measurement accuracy isn't degraded by bias current flowing through source impedances. The LT1167CS8#TRPBF's 200 GΩ input resistance further supports such applications.
How does LT1167CS8#TRPBF handle capacitive loads on its output?
The LT1167CS8#TRPBF is internally compensated to remain stable with capacitive loads up to 1000 pF across all gain configurations - a key advantage over many instrumentation amplifiers requiring external isolation resistors. This allows direct connection to ADC input capacitors, long PCB traces, or filtering networks without risk of peaking or oscillation, simplifying layout and improving signal integrity in the LT1167CS8#TRPBF-based design.
Is LT1167CS8#TRPBF compliant with IEC 61000-4-2 ESD standards?
Yes, the LT1167CS8#TRPBF passes IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±8 kV contact, ±15 kV air) when used with two external 5 kΩ resistors on its inputs - a configuration explicitly validated in the datasheet. Its inputs withstand 13 kV HBM ESD stress, making the LT1167CS8#TRPBF suitable for industrial environments where electrostatic discharge immunity is mandatory.
