Product details
Overview
LT1191CN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an ultrahigh-speed voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for ±5V and single 5V supply operation, delivering 90MHz gain-bandwidth product, 450V/µs slew rate, ±50mA output drive, 110ns settling time to 0.1%, and integrated output shutdown. It serves as a video cable driver, fast integrator, and pulse amplifier in broadcast, instrumentation, and high-speed data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1191CN8#PBF datasheet, LT1191CN8#PBF pinout, LT1191CN8#PBF application, or LT1191CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include full-power bandwidth (23.9MHz at 6VP-P), differential gain/phase error (0.07%/0.02° @ 1kΩ), shutdown current (1.4mA typ), input offset voltage (2–6mV), and PDIP-8 compatibility with standard op-amp layouts.
Technical Context
The LT1191CN8#PBF employs a voltage-feedback architecture with unity-gain stability and high open-loop gain (>20V/mV min at 1kΩ load). Its internal compensation enables stable operation at AV = 1 while maintaining 90MHz GBW and low distortion across video bandwidths.
It integrates a dedicated shutdown terminal (Pin 5) that reduces supply current to 1.4mA typ and places the output in true high-impedance state (15kΩ || feedback network), enabling time-division multiplexing of multiple amplifiers onto shared video lines without signal contention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 90MHz - Enables stable closed-loop gain ≥1 with bandwidth up to 90MHz; supports NTSC/PAL video reconstruction. |
| Slew Rate | 450V/µs - Supports clean 7.5VP-P output into 100Ω at ±5V supplies; critical for pulse fidelity and fast step response. |
| Settling Time | 110ns to 0.1% - Measured on 3V step; ensures sub-120ns accuracy in ADC buffer and DAC I/V stages. |
| Differential Gain/Phase Error | 0.07% / 0.02° @ RL = 1kΩ - Meets broadcast-grade video linearity requirements for composite video signals. |
| Output Current | ±50mA - Drives double-terminated 75Ω coaxial cables (150Ω total load) with minimal droop or distortion. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 1.4mA typ - Reduces quiescent power to 15mW during inactive periods; enables low-power MUX architectures. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 2–6mV (N8 package, 0°C to 70°C) - Allows DC-coupled video and precision signal conditioning without external trimming. |
Pinout & Package
LT1191CN8#PBF is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP (PDIP-8, N8 package) with industry-standard dual-in-line pinout and 0.300-inch body width. Pin 1 is bottom-left corner when notch faces up.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | BAL (Balance) | Offset null adjustment terminal; connects to wiper of 1kΩ–10kΩ potentiometer for fine VOS trimming. |
| 2 | –IN (Inverting Input) | Differential input node; requires low-impedance source (<10kΩ) to preserve phase margin and bandwidth. |
| 3 | +IN (Noninverting Input) | Differential input node; referenced to common-mode range (–2.5V to +3.5V @ ±5V supplies). |
| 4 | V– (Negative Supply) | Ground reference for single-supply operation or –5V rail for dual-supply; SHDN pin referenced to this node. |
| 5 | SHDN (Shutdown) | Active-low enable; pulled to V– to disable output and reduce ICC to 1.4mA; tOFF = 400ns, tON = 100ns. |
| 6 | OUT (Output) | Class-AB output stage capable of ±50mA; presents high-Z state in shutdown (15kΩ || feedback network). |
| 7 | V+ (Positive Supply) | +5V (single-supply) or +5V rail (dual-supply); supports operation up to ±8V total supply (18V VS). |
| 8 | BAL (Balance) | Second offset null terminal; tied to opposite end of potentiometer from Pin 1 for symmetric trimming. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain stable wideband operation | 90MHz GBW with no external compensation required - simplifies layout and eliminates stability tuning. |
| Video-optimized linearity | 0.07% differential gain / 0.02° differential phase error at 1kΩ load - meets broadcast video fidelity standards. |
| Heavy-load full-power bandwidth | 23.9MHz at 6VP-P into 1kΩ - sustains high-slew performance under realistic video and pulse loads. |
| True high-impedance shutdown | 15kΩ output impedance in shutdown state - prevents loading or crosstalk in multiplexed video bus architectures. |
| Single-supply capability | Operates from +5V only with input CMR = –2.5V to +3.5V and output swing = 0.25V to 3.8V - enables portable and low-voltage systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1363CN8#PBF | Higher slew rate (1000V/µs), lower supply current (7.5mA max), but reduced open-loop gain (12V/mV typ @ 100Ω) and no shutdown pin. | Lacks integrated shutdown; unsuitable for MUX or power-gated video paths; better for continuous high-fidelity pulse amplification. | Select LT1363CN8#PBF when maximum speed and low quiescent current outweigh need for shutdown and video-grade linearity. |
| LT1813CS8#PBF | Higher GBW (100MHz), higher slew rate (750V/µs), SO-8 only, no BAL pins for offset nulling, shutdown not supported. | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign; lacks offset trim and video-optimized AC specs (no diff gain/phase data published). | Choose LT1813CS8#PBF only for new designs prioritizing bandwidth/speed over legacy compatibility, trim capability, or broadcast compliance. |
Compared with LT1191CN8#PBF, LT1363CN8#PBF offers superior speed/power trade-off but sacrifices shutdown and video linearity; LT1813CS8#PBF delivers higher bandwidth in surface-mount form but removes analog trim and video validation - making LT1191CN8#PBF uniquely suited for cost-sensitive, pin-compatible, broadcast-compliant DIP-based video infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum full-power bandwidth of the LT1191CN8#PBF?
The LT1191CN8#PBF achieves a typical full-power bandwidth of 23.9MHz at 6VP-P output into a 1kΩ load. This is derived directly from its 450V/µs slew rate using FPBW = SR/(2π × VP). At heavier loads (e.g., 100Ω), full-power bandwidth drops to 20MHz, still sufficient for 720p60 video reconstruction.
Does the LT1191CN8#PBF support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LT1191CN8#PBF operates from a single +5V supply with input common-mode range from –2.5V to +3.5V and output swing from 0.25V to 3.8V (RL = 100Ω). This allows direct interfacing with CMOS logic and low-voltage ADCs without level-shifting circuitry.
How does the shutdown feature of the LT1191CN8#PBF behave electrically?
When Pin 5 (SHDN) is pulled to V–, the LT1191CN8#PBF disables its output stage, reducing supply current to 1.4mA typ and presenting a true high-impedance output (15kΩ in parallel with external feedback resistors). Output turn-off time is 400ns and turn-on time is 100ns into a 1kΩ load.
Can the LT1191CN8#PBF drive double-terminated 75Ω video cables?
Yes - the LT1191CN8#PBF delivers ±50mA output current, enabling it to drive double-terminated 75Ω coaxial cables (150Ω total load) with 6dB gain compensation. Its 0.07% differential gain and 0.02° differential phase error at 1kΩ confirm suitability for NTSC/PAL video signal integrity.
What is the purpose of Pins 1 and 8 (BAL) on the LT1191CN8#PBF?
Pins 1 and 8 are balance terminals for offset nulling. A 1kΩ–10kΩ potentiometer is connected between them, with its wiper grounded, allowing adjustment of input offset voltage over a ±100mV range - critical for DC-coupled video and precision integrator applications.
