Product details
Overview
LT1217CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a current feedback amplifier optimized for high-speed, low-power signal conditioning in video, data acquisition, and cable driver applications. It delivers 10MHz bandwidth, 500V/µs slew rate, 280ns settling to 0.1%, and operates from ±5V to ±15V supplies with only 1mA quiescent current. Its shutdown pin enables power gating for system-level energy management.
For engineers reviewing the LT1217CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1217CS8#PBF pinout, LT1217CS8#PBF application, or LT1217CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its current-feedback architecture, 50mA minimum output drive, ±1mV input offset voltage, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with legacy op-amp footprints.
Technical Context
The LT1217CS8#PBF uses a proprietary complementary bipolar process to achieve low 1mA supply current while maintaining high-speed performance. Its current-feedback topology decouples bandwidth from closed-loop gain-bandwidth remains stable across gains when RF is held constant, unlike voltage-feedback amplifiers.
It features dual-stage slew limiting: input stage ~50V/µs, output stage up to 850V/µs (dependent on RF), enabling predictable large-signal response. The shutdown function (Pin 8) reduces supply current to ≤350µA and places the output in high-impedance state without external circuitry.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 10MHz at AV = 1, RF = RG = 3kΩ - supports high-fidelity video and IF signal amplification |
| Slew Rate | 500V/µs (typical, non-inverting, ±15V) - enables clean 10V step reproduction with minimal distortion |
| Settling Time | 280ns to 0.1% for 10V step - meets timing requirements of 8–12-bit ADC drivers and fast DAC buffers |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1mV (max) - ensures DC accuracy in precision gain stages and sensor signal chains |
| Output Drive | ≥50mA (min) into short circuit - drives 75Ω coaxial cables and low-Z loads without external buffering |

Pinout & Package
LT1217CS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package with standard industry pinout and 150°C maximum junction temperature. Thermal resistance θJA is 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Null / Offset Adjust | Connects to internal offset null network; pulling ~30µA adjusts output offset voltage |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–IN) | Current-summing node for feedback; requires resistive (not capacitive) termination for stability |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input (+IN) | High-impedance (100MΩ || 3pF) input node; common-mode range extends to ±12V |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail connection; supports operation down to –5V |
| 5 | Null / Offset Adjust | Second terminal for external offset trim; used with Pin 1 for 100kΩ potentiometer interface |
| 6 | Output (OUT) | Class-AB output stage capable of ±13V swing into 2kΩ and ≥50mA short-circuit current |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply rail connection; supports operation up to +15V |
| 8 | Shutdown | Active-low control: sinking ≥50µA forces shutdown mode (350µA ICC, high-Z output) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current Feedback Architecture | Maintains >10MHz bandwidth across gains of 2–100 when RF fixed at 3kΩ - eliminates gain-bandwidth trade-off |
| Programmable Shutdown | Pin 8 interface requires no external components; logic-level compatible with open-drain GPIO or microcontroller outputs |
| Robust Output Drive | Delivers ≥50mA into 0Ω load and drives 75Ω cables directly - replaces discrete buffer stages in video distribution |
| Wide Supply Flexibility | Operates from ±4.5V to ±18V; tolerates asymmetric rails with only 350µV/V mismatch-induced offset degradation |
| Low Input Bias Current | ±100nA (max) - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance transducer interfaces and filter networks |
| Stable Capacitive Load Driving | Supports direct drive of flash ADC inputs via increased RF; maximum capacitive load defined per RF value (e.g., 1000pF @ RF = 5.1kΩ) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1360CS8#PBF | Higher 220MHz GBW, 1000V/µs slew rate, 2.5mA IQ; same SOIC-8 pinout | Better suited for >50MHz IF stages but consumes >2× power | Select when bandwidth >20MHz is required and thermal budget allows higher IQ |
| AD811ARZ | 100MHz GBW, 2500V/µs slew, ±15V supply only, SOIC-8; no shutdown pin | Lacks power-gating capability and has narrower supply range | Choose for ultra-high slew applications where shutdown is unnecessary and supply rails are fixed |

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LT1217CS8#PBF can drive stably?
The LT1217CS8#PBF can drive up to 1000pF with RF = 5.1kΩ (5dB peaking limit), or 100pF with RF = 3kΩ. For heavier loads, isolate with a 10–20Ω series resistor at the output or increase RF proportionally. Direct capacitive loading is supported for flash ADC interfaces where bandwidth reduction is acceptable.
Does the LT1217CS8#PBF require external compensation components?
No, the LT1217CS8#PBF is internally compensated and requires no external capacitors for stability under standard configurations. Stability depends critically on keeping the inverting input node resistive-stray capacitance at Pin 2 must be minimized, and feedback must be implemented with pure resistance (RF) rather than reactive elements.
How does shutdown mode affect the output state of the LT1217CS8#PBF?
In shutdown mode (Pin 8 pulled low with ≥50µA), the LT1217CS8#PBF disables its output stage and places the OUT pin (Pin 6) in a high-impedance state. This prevents loading of downstream circuits and eliminates output current flow, making it safe to multiplex or isolate signal paths without additional switches.
Can the LT1217CS8#PBF operate from a single +12V supply?
Yes-the LT1217CS8#PBF supports single-supply operation. With V+ = +12V and V– = 0V, the input common-mode range extends from 0V to +10V and output swings from +1V to +11V into 2kΩ. Ensure input signals remain within these rails and use appropriate level-shifting if interfacing with bipolar sources.
What is the typical input noise performance of the LT1217CS8#PBF?
The LT1217CS8#PBF exhibits 6.5nV/√Hz input voltage noise density at 1kHz (RF = 1kΩ, RG = 10Ω) and 0.7pA/√Hz input current noise density under the same conditions. These values make it suitable for medium-bandwidth, moderate-impedance applications where noise contribution must stay below 10nV/√Hz.
