Product details
Overview
LT1224CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a unity-gain stable, very high speed voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for precision data acquisition and wideband signal conditioning. It delivers 45MHz gain-bandwidth, 400V/µs slew rate, 90ns 0.1% settling time for 10V steps, ±12V output swing into 500Ω with ±15V supplies, and drives all capacitive loads without external compensation - making it suitable for DAC current-to-voltage conversion, video line driving, and active filter stages.
For engineers reviewing the LT1224CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1224CS8#PBF pinout, LT1224CS8#PBF application, or LT1224CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 2mV max input offset voltage, 7mA supply current at ±15V, stability with unlimited capacitive loading, differential gain/phase performance at 3.58MHz, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with legacy HA2541/AD847 designs after nulling circuit removal.
Technical Context
The LT1224CS8#PBF employs a single-stage bipolar complementary architecture delivering fast settling via internal slew enhancement that balances rising/falling edges in noninverting configurations. Its input stage features 24–40MΩ input resistance and ±12V common-mode range at ±15V supplies, enabling robust operation in DC-coupled wideband systems.
It achieves 50° phase margin in unity-gain and maintains stability across load capacitances up to 10,000pF by sensing the load-induced output pole and applying adaptive compensation at the gain node - eliminating need for external isolation resistors in cable driver applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 45MHz at f = 1MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to ~30MHz in gain-of-2 configurations. |
| Slew Rate | 400V/µs (typ), 250V/µs (min) - supports full-scale 10V transitions in <25ns without slewing distortion. |
| Settling Time | 90ns to 0.1% for 10V step - meets timing requirements of 10-bit+ data acquisition systems sampling ≥10MSps. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 2mV max (C-grade, TA = 25°C) - ensures ≤20mV error in unity-gain buffer with 10V input. |
| Output Swing | ±12.0V min into 500Ω with ±15V supplies - delivers rail-to-rail usable dynamic range for ±12V signal chains. |
| Supply Current | 7–9mA at ±15V - enables high-speed performance without excessive thermal load in SOIC-8 packages. |
| Capacitive Load Drive | Stable with unlimited capacitive loads - eliminates series isolation resistor in coaxial cable drivers and ADC input buffers. |
Pinout & Package
LT1224CS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC dimensions (0.150" width, 1.27mm pitch). Thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W enables operation up to +70°C ambient without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NULL | Offset null adjustment terminal - requires external 5kΩ potentiometer between Pins 1 and 5 for precision trimming. |
| 2 | –IN | Inverting input - high-impedance node (2pF capacitance); sensitive to stray coupling; requires matched source impedance for DC accuracy. |
| 3 | +IN | Noninverting input - same impedance and noise specs as Pin 2; common-mode range extends to ±12V with ±15V supplies. |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail - must be bypassed with 0.01–0.1µF ceramic capacitor close to pin for high-frequency stability. |
| 5 | NULL | Second offset null terminal - connected to wiper of 5kΩ potentiometer (other ends to Pins 1 and 4) for VOS correction. |
| 6 | OUT | Amplifier output - capable of sourcing/sinking ≥24mA; drives 150Ω loads to ±3V on ±5V supplies or 500Ω to ±12V on ±15V supplies. |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply rail - requires low-ESR 1–10µF tantalum bypass for high-current transient response. |
| 8 | NC | No connect - internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid parametric shift. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain stable architecture | Guaranteed stable at AV = +1 without external compensation - simplifies design of buffers and integrators. |
| Capacitive load immunity | Operates stably with any capacitive load (0–10,000pF) - removes need for series output resistors in cable drivers. |
| Balanced slew enhancement | Equalized rising/falling edge rates in noninverting mode - eliminates asymmetry in pulse response critical for video and instrumentation. |
| High DC gain at bandwidth | 7V/mV large-signal voltage gain into 500Ω - provides >130dB open-loop gain for precision closed-loop accuracy. |
| Wide supply range | Operates from ±2.5V to ±15V - supports both low-voltage portable systems (±5V) and industrial ±12V signal chains. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD847JRZ | Lower GBW (50MHz), higher VOS (1.5mV typ), no built-in capacitive load immunity - requires external compensation for >100pF loads. | Preferred in cost-sensitive audio preamps where load capacitance is fixed and known; not recommended for variable-cable-length video drivers. | Select AD847JRZ only when layout allows strict control of output node capacitance and lower power (5.5mA) is prioritized over universal stability. |
| LM6361IM/NOPB | Higher supply current (12mA), lower slew rate (300V/µs), wider input voltage range (±16V), but unstable with >500pF loads without isolation resistor. | Suitable for high-voltage industrial signal conditioning where output drive >±13V is required, but unsuitable for direct coaxial cable driving. | Choose LM6361IM/NOPB when operating beyond ±15V supplies is mandatory and external compensation can be accommodated in PCB layout. |
Compared with LT1224CS8#PBF, AD847JRZ trades capacitive load flexibility for slightly higher bandwidth and lower quiescent current, while LM6361IM/NOPB extends supply voltage range at the cost of stability headroom and increased power - making LT1224CS8#PBF the optimal choice for unmodified drop-in replacement in HA2541/EL2020 designs requiring guaranteed stability with unknown or variable capacitive loads.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LT1224CS8#PBF can drive without oscillation?
The LT1224CS8#PBF is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with all capacitive loads, including up to 10,000pF. This is achieved through internal compensation that senses the load-induced pole and adapts feedback - eliminating need for external isolation resistors in cable driver or ADC buffer applications. No external components are required for stability regardless of load capacitance.
Does the LT1224CS8#PBF require offset nulling in precision applications?
Yes - the LT1224CS8#PBF includes dedicated NULL pins (1 and 5) for external offset voltage trimming using a 5kΩ potentiometer. While its maximum input offset voltage is specified at 2mV (C-grade), nulling reduces residual error to <0.5mV, which is essential for 12-bit+ DC-coupled measurement systems where 0.01% gain accuracy is required.
Can the LT1224CS8#PBF operate from a single +5V supply?
No - the LT1224CS8#PBF is a dual-supply operational amplifier requiring symmetric positive and negative rails (±2.5V to ±15V). It does not support true single-supply operation because its input common-mode range does not extend to the negative rail, and output swing is specified relative to both V+ and V–. For single-supply designs, consider rail-to-rail input/output amplifiers like the LTC6228.
What is the thermal limitation of the LT1224CS8#PBF in SOIC-8 package?
The LT1224CS8#PBF in SOIC-8 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 150°C/W. With 9mA max supply current at ±15V (270mW total dissipation), junction temperature rise is 40.5°C above ambient. At 70°C ambient, TJ reaches 110.5°C - well below the 150°C absolute maximum, confirming safe operation without heatsinking in typical industrial environments.
Is the LT1224CS8#PBF pin-compatible with the HA2541 or AD847?
The LT1224CS8#PBF shares identical SOIC-8 pinout with HA2541 and AD847, but requires removal of their external nulling networks due to integrated null terminals. The datasheet confirms direct insertion into existing HA2541/AD847 layouts provided nulling circuitry is omitted - making it a functional and mechanical drop-in replacement for those legacy high-speed op-amps.
