Product details
Overview
LT1167IS8#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 LT1167IS8#PBF datasheet, LT1167IS8#PBF pinout, LT1167IS8#PBF application, or LT1167IS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed –40°C to +85°C operation, laser-trimmed 40 μV max input offset voltage, single-resistor gain programming, ESD-hardened inputs (13 kV HBM), and SO-8 package compatibility with IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 compliance when used with two 5 kΩ resistors.
Technical Context
The LT1167IS8#PBF implements a three-op-amp architecture with laser-trimmed 24.7 kΩ internal resistors and matched NPN superbeta input transistors, ensuring precise gain accuracy (0.08% max at G = 10) and low thermal drift. Its transconductance-based preamp stage scales bandwidth inversely with gain - delivering 1 MHz BW at G = 1 but maintaining 12 kHz at G = 1000 - without proportional bandwidth collapse.
Input bias current remains ≤350 pA across the full –40°C to +85°C range due to superbeta processing, while the REF pin establishes output reference potential with 1 ±0.0001 gain accuracy. The device supports true single-supply operation down to ±2.3 V, with rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending to within 1.9 V of either supply rail.

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 (12 MHz vs 1 MHz at G = 1), lower noise (3.5 nV/√Hz), but requires dual supply ≥±4.5 V and lacks IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 qualification | Better suited for high-speed data acquisition; less ideal for low-voltage battery-powered or ESD-critical industrial sensors | Select AD8421ARZ when bandwidth >1 MHz and noise <4 nV/√Hz are required; verify supply headroom and ESD test compliance separately |
| INA128UA | Lower quiescent current (700 μA vs 1.3 mA), wider supply range (±2.25 V to ±18 V), but higher input offset (125 μV max) and no guaranteed –40°C to +85°C performance | Preferred for ultra-low-power portable devices; not recommended for extended-temperature industrial deployments | Select INA128UA only for cost-sensitive, room-temperature applications where power budget is tighter than accuracy requirements |
Compared with AD8421ARZ and INA128UA, LT1167IS8#PBF uniquely balances extended-temperature operation, ESD robustness, and single-resistor gain simplicity - making it optimal for industrial sensor modules requiring long-term calibration stability and field-reliability certification.

FAQ
What is the maximum gain achievable with LT1167IS8#PBF?
The LT1167IS8#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 - requiring careful layout and low-tolerance resistor selection. The LT1167IS8#PBF maintains 12 kHz bandwidth and 0.16% max gain error even at this highest gain setting under full temperature range conditions.
Does LT1167IS8#PBF require external trimming for offset voltage?
No, the LT1167IS8#PBF is laser-trimmed during manufacturing to achieve ≤40 μV max input offset voltage at G = 10 and ≤0.3 μV/°C drift - eliminating the need for external trim circuits in most applications. An optional offset adjustment circuit using an external op amp buffer is documented in the datasheet (Figure 2) only for cases demanding sub-10 μV RTI offset.
Can LT1167IS8#PBF operate from a single 5 V supply?
Yes, the LT1167IS8#PBF supports single-supply operation from +5 V (with ground as –VS). The input common-mode range extends to within 1.9 V of either rail, and the output swings to within 1.3 V of each rail at RL = 10 kΩ. For proper operation, the REF pin must be biased appropriately (e.g., to 2.5 V), and one input must remain ≥2.5 V above ground - as demonstrated in the barometer application circuit.
What is the purpose of the REF pin on LT1167IS8#PBF?
Pin 5 (REF) sets the DC reference level for the LT1167IS8#PBF output voltage. The output follows VOUT = VREF + G × (V+IN – V–IN). This allows level-shifting the output to match downstream ADC input ranges. Series resistance on the REF pin degrades CMRR and gain accuracy - a 2 Ω resistor reduces CMRR from 90 dB to 80 dB and adds 0.02% gain error.
How does LT1167IS8#PBF meet IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD requirements?
The LT1167IS8#PBF passes IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (8 kV contact / 15 kV air) when used with two external 5 kΩ resistors between each input and the REF pin - forming a current-limiting network that clamps ESD transients before they reach the internal input stage. This configuration is validated in the datasheet and requires no additional TVS diodes or layout changes beyond the specified resistor placement.
