Product details
Overview
LT1211CN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual precision operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation with 14MHz gain-bandwidth product, 7V/µs slew rate, and rail-to-rail output swing to ground. It delivers 20mA output drive, 275µV max input offset voltage at 25°C, and operates from 2.5V to 36V total supply. It is used in high-accuracy signal conditioning for battery-powered instrumentation and DAC current-to-voltage conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LT1211CN8#PBF datasheet, LT1211CN8#PBF pinout, LT1211CN8#PBF application, or LT1211CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0.01% settling time (900ns for 2V step), low 12nV/√Hz input noise, ±15mA input current rating, and compatibility with 3.3V/5V/±15V supplies across –40°C to 85°C.
Technical Context
The LT1211CN8#PBF implements a bipolar input stage with bias current cancellation, enabling low input bias current (125nA max) and stable DC precision without trimming. Its architecture supports fast settling via high slew rate and wide bandwidth while maintaining excellent common-mode rejection (86dB min) and power supply rejection (87dB min).
It features dual independent amplifiers in an 8-pin PDIP package with inputs that operate down to ground and outputs capable of sinking current to within 3mV of V–. The device is specified for single 3.3V/5V and split ±15V supplies, with quiescent current as low as 1.3mA per amplifier at 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 14MHz typical - enables stable unity-gain operation up to ~14MHz or closed-loop gains with predictable bandwidth. |
| Slew Rate | 7V/µs typical - supports fast transient response in active filters and pulse amplification without distortion. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 275µV maximum at 25°C - ensures ≤0.45LSB error in 2.5V full-scale 12-bit systems. |
| Supply Current per Amp | 1.8mA maximum - allows dual-channel precision amplification in low-power portable designs. |
| Output Drive Current | ±20mA minimum - directly drives 500Ω loads or ADC input buffers without external buffering. |
| Input Noise Voltage | 12nV/√Hz typical at 1kHz - preserves SNR in low-level sensor signal chains like photodiode amplifiers. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and data acquisition environments. |
Pinout & Package

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1211CS8#PBF | Same die, SO-8 surface-mount package; θJA = 150°C/W vs 100°C/W for N8. | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; thermal derating required at high ambient or load. | Select when board area is limited and reflow assembly is available. |
| OP27GPZ | Lower noise (3.5nV/√Hz), slower slew (2.8V/µs), higher VOS (250µV typ), no rail-to-ground output. | Better for ultra-low-noise DC-coupled applications; unsuitable for single-supply ground-swing requirements. | Choose only if noise dominates over speed and output swing in your signal chain. |
Compared with LT1211CS8#PBF, LT1211CN8#PBF offers better thermal performance in through-hole layouts and easier prototyping; versus OP27GPZ, it trades some voltage noise for essential rail-to-ground output and 2.5× faster settling-critical for multiplexed or battery-operated systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LT1211CN8#PBF?
The LT1211CN8#PBF supports a total supply voltage up to 36V, meaning it can operate on single supplies up to +36V/V– = 0V or split supplies such as ±18V. Absolute maximum ratings specify 36V between V+ and V–; exceeding this risks permanent damage. For reliable operation at elevated temperatures or heavy loads, thermal calculations must confirm junction temperature remains below 150°C.
Does LT1211CN8#PBF support true single-supply operation with input and output referenced to ground?
Yes, LT1211CN8#PBF supports true single-supply operation: its input common-mode range includes ground (V–), and its output swings to within 3mV of V– while sinking current. This allows direct interfacing with ground-referenced sensors and ADCs without level-shifting circuitry-confirmed in both 3.3V and 5V single-supply electrical characteristics tables.
What is the guaranteed settling time for LT1211CN8#PBF at 0.01% accuracy?
The LT1211CN8#PBF guarantees 900ns settling time to 0.01% for a 2V output step under standard test conditions (AV = 1, RL = 500Ω, TA = 25°C). This specification is explicitly listed in the "5V Electrical Characteristics" table and applies across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, making it suitable for high-speed data acquisition systems.
Can LT1211CN8#PBF drive a 500Ω load effectively?
Yes, LT1211CN8#PBF is rated for ±20mA minimum output current, enabling direct drive of 500Ω loads. At ISINK = 15mA, the output remains within 0.5V of V–; at ISOURCE = 15mA, it stays within 0.4V of V+. These values are verified in the 5V and ±15V electrical characteristics tables and confirmed by thermal derating guidelines in the datasheet's Power Dissipation section.
Is LT1211CN8#PBF pin-compatible with other dual op amps in 8-pin DIP packages?
No, LT1211CN8#PBF is not pin-compatible with industry-standard dual op amps (e.g., LM358, TL072, OP27) due to its unique pin 4 (V–) and pin 5 (V+) assignment-standard dual op amps place power pins at pins 4 and 8. LT1211CN8#PBF follows Linear's proprietary dual-amplifier pinout: pins 1–3 and 6–8 are signal I/O, with V– at pin 4 and V+ at pin 5. PCB layout must follow the N8 package diagram shown in the datasheet.
