Product details
Overview
LT1211ACN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual precision operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation with 14MHz gain-bandwidth, 7V/µs slew rate, and 275µV max input offset voltage at 25°C. It operates from 2.5V to 36V total supply, delivers ±20mA output drive, and supports rail-to-rail input (including ground) and near-rail output swing-ideal for 12-bit DAC current-to-voltage conversion in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1211ACN8#PBF datasheet, LT1211ACN8#PBF pinout, LT1211ACN8#PBF application, or LT1211ACN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 275µV VOS and 3µV/°C drift over –40°C to 85°C, low 12nV/√Hz input noise, and compatibility with 3.3V/5V/±15V supplies without performance degradation.
Technical Context
The LT1211ACN8#PBF implements a high-speed bipolar input stage with bias current cancellation, enabling low input offset current (30nA max) and stable DC precision across temperature. Its architecture supports fast settling (900ns to 0.01% on 2V step) while maintaining >105dB CMRR and >115dB PSRR at 5V supply.
It features internal compensation for unity-gain stability, operates with input common-mode voltage extending 0.3V below negative rail and 3.8V above it at 5V supply, and maintains ≥1200V/mV open-loop gain into 500Ω loads-enabling precision closed-loop configurations without external trimming.
Key Specifications

| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 14MHz typ - enables stable unity-gain buffers and 10x amplifiers up to 1.4MHz. |
| Slew Rate | 7V/µs typ - supports clean 10Vpp signals up to ~1.1MHz without slewing distortion. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 275µV max at 25°C - ensures ≤0.45LSB error in 2.5V full-scale 12-bit systems. |
| Input Offset Drift | 3µV/°C max - limits VOS shift to <240µV over –40°C to 85°C industrial range. |

Pinout & Package
LT1211ACN8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DIP (N8) package with 0.3-inch width, JEDEC MS-001 compliant footprint, and 100°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Amplifier A output - capable of sourcing 20mA or sinking 20mA with <0.5V saturation at 15mA sink. |
| 2 | –IN A | Inverting input of Amp A - high-impedance node (≥10MΩ differential) with 0.2pA/√Hz noise current. |
| 3 | +IN A | Non-inverting input of Amp A - accepts common-mode voltages from –0.3V to +3.8V at 5V supply. |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail - must be bypassed with 0.01µF capacitor within 1 inch for stability. |
| 5 | V+ | Positive supply rail - supports single (2.5–36V) or split (±1.2–±18V) operation. |
| 6 | OUT B | Amplifier B output - electrically identical to Pin 1; channel separation >128dB at 10kHz. |
| 7 | –IN B | Inverting input of Amp B - independent of Amp A; no crosstalk in precision dual-channel designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1211CN8#PBF | Higher 275µV max VOS and 6µV/°C drift vs. LT1211ACN8#PBF's 275µV/3µV/°C - same package and pinout. | Less suitable for 12-bit systems requiring <0.5LSB error over temperature; acceptable for 10-bit or room-temp-only use. | Select LT1211CN8#PBF only when cost sensitivity outweighs drift-critical performance; verify VOS distribution in production lot. |
| OP2177ARZ-REEL7 | Lower 60µV max VOS but slower 1.3MHz GBW and 0.7V/µs slew; SO-8 package, not DIP. | Unsuitable for high-speed filtering or fast-settling DAC buffers; better for ultra-precision DC-coupled sensors. | Choose OP2177ARZ-REEL7 only for sub-100kHz DC-stable applications where VOS dominates; avoid for >100kHz signal paths. |
Compared with LT1211CN8#PBF, LT1211ACN8#PBF offers half the offset drift for the same VOS ceiling, enabling tighter system accuracy over temperature; versus OP2177ARZ-REEL7, it trades ultra-low VOS for 10× higher bandwidth and 10× faster settling-making it superior for mixed-signal timing-critical roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LT1211ACN8#PBF?
The LT1211ACN8#PBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This extended industrial range is guaranteed by characterization and testing, unlike the LT1211C grade which is only tested from 0°C to 70°C but characterized for the full –40°C to 85°C range. The LT1211ACN8#PBF's 3µV/°C max offset drift ensures predictable performance across this span.
Does the LT1211ACN8#PBF support true single-supply operation with input referenced to ground?
Yes, the LT1211ACN8#PBF supports true single-supply operation with input common-mode voltage extending to V– (ground), as confirmed by its 0V minimum input voltage specification at 5V supply. Its input stage allows signals from –0.3V to +3.8V, enabling direct connection of ground-referenced sensors without level-shifting circuitry - a key feature distinguishing LT1211ACN8#PBF from many older precision op-amps.
What is the typical output voltage swing for LT1211ACN8#PBF on a 5V single supply?
On a 5V single supply, the LT1211ACN8#PBF delivers a typical output swing of 4.40V high (at no load) and 0.006V low (at no load), meaning it swings within 60mV of ground and 600mV of V+. When sourcing 15mA, the high output drops to 4.00V; when sinking 15mA, the low rises to 0.500V - confirming robust drive capability into real-world loads without external buffers.
Can LT1211ACN8#PBF drive capacitive loads without instability?
Yes, the LT1211ACN8#PBF is designed to drive ≥1000pF capacitive loads without oscillation or excessive overshoot, as verified in typical performance graphs (e.g., Figure G12 showing <25% overshoot at 1000pF with AV = 1). This eliminates the need for isolation resistors in ADC input buffers or coaxial cable drivers - a critical advantage over many general-purpose op-amps that require external compensation.
How does the input bias current cancellation architecture benefit LT1211ACN8#PBF in high-impedance applications?
The LT1211ACN8#PBF uses internal bias current cancellation to achieve ≤30nA max input offset current and ≤125nA max input bias current - significantly lower than uncanceled bipolar op-amps. In high-impedance applications like photodiode TIAs with >1MΩ feedback, this reduces voltage errors and drift, preserving accuracy without requiring guard rings or complex PCB layout techniques. The LT1211ACN8#PBF's cancellation is inherent to its die design, not external circuitry.
