Product details
Overview
LT1227CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-speed current feedback amplifier optimized for video cable driving, delivering 140MHz bandwidth at AV = 2 into 150Ω, 1100V/µs slew rate, and 30mA output drive. It features 0.01% differential gain and 0.01° differential phase for NTSC composite video, operates from ±2V to ±15V supplies, and includes shutdown mode with <250µA supply current.
For engineers reviewing the LT1227CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1227CS8#PBF pinout, LT1227CS8#PBF application, or LT1227CS8#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SO-8 package terminal mapping, video-system design context, and two validated alternative current feedback amplifiers for RGB/cable driver upgrades.
Technical Context
The LT1227CS8#PBF uses a current feedback architecture where bandwidth remains stable across voltage gains-unlike voltage-feedback op amps-enabling consistent 140MHz small-signal bandwidth at AV = 2 with RF = 1kΩ and RL = 150Ω. Its input stage presents high impedance (14MΩ || 3pF), while the output drives heavy capacitive loads when paired with appropriate feedback resistors (e.g., ≥1kΩ for ≤5dB peaking).
Shutdown is controlled via Pin 8 (SHDN), referenced to V+, requiring >50µA sink current to activate; transition time is 4µs. In shutdown, output impedance rises to ~12pF, isolation reaches 70dB at 10MHz, and supply current drops to ≤500µA, enabling parallel MUX configurations without loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 140MHz at AV = 2, RL = 150Ω - enables full NTSC/PAL baseband video signal integrity up to 10MHz with margin. |
| Slew Rate | 1100V/µs - supports clean 10VP-P video signals at 10MHz without slewing distortion. |
| Differential Gain / Phase | 0.01% / 0.01° at 3.58MHz - meets broadcast-grade video fidelity requirements for RGB and composite systems. |
| Output Drive | 30mA continuous - directly drives 75Ω coaxial cables and multiple parallel loads without external buffers. |
| Supply Range | ±2V to ±15V - supports single-supply AC-coupled designs (e.g., +5V with biasing) and dual-rail industrial video equipment. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤500µA - reduces system power by >95% during inactive channels in multi-amplifier MUX architectures. |
| Input Impedance | 14MΩ || 3pF - minimizes loading on preceding stages (e.g., DAC outputs or filter networks) in precision signal chains. |
Pinout & Package
LT1227CS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (SO-8, narrow 0.150") package per JEDEC MS-012, with industry-standard pinout compatible with legacy video op amps for drop-in replacement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Null (IN–) | Connects to internal inverting input bias network; used with Pin 5 and external pot to null input offset voltage or bias current. |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–IN) | Current-summing node for feedback; requires low-stray-capacitance PCB layout to avoid peaking/overshoot. |
| 3 | Noninverting Input (+IN) | High-impedance input (14MΩ || 3pF); common-mode range extends to within 1.5V of either supply rail. |
| 4 | Negative Supply (V–) | Accepts –2V to –15V; supplies internal bias circuits and output stage; must be decoupled locally. |
| 5 | Offset Null (IN+) | Reference point for offset adjustment circuitry; tied to V+ for nulling configuration per datasheet Figure TA12. |
| 6 | Shutdown (SHDN) | Active-low control referenced to V+; sinking >50µA places device in high-Z, low-IQ state; open-drain logic compatible. |
| 7 | Positive Supply (V+) | Accepts +2V to +15V; powers input and output stages; thermal performance depends on θJA = 100°C/W (SO-8). |
| 8 | Output (OUT) | Capable of ±13.5V swing into 400Ω; delivers 30mA into short circuit; output impedance <1Ω below 10MHz in active mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current Feedback Architecture | Maintains 140MHz bandwidth from AV = 1 to AV = 10, eliminating gain-bandwidth trade-off in video gain blocks. |
| Video-Optimized Linearity | 0.01% differential gain and 0.01° differential phase at 3.58MHz ensure broadcast-compliant color fidelity in RGB and composite systems. |
| Robust Cable Driving | 30mA output current and 1100V/µs slew rate enable direct 75Ω coaxial cable termination without external buffers or level-shifting. |
| Fast Shutdown Switching | 4µs enable/disable time and 70dB input-to-output isolation at 10MHz support high-speed analog MUX applications with minimal crosstalk. |
| Wide Supply Flexibility | Operates from ±2V to ±15V; inputs common-mode to within 1.5V of rails and outputs swing to within 0.8V-ideal for low-voltage portable video and high-voltage broadcast gear. |
Applications
| RGB Video Amplifier | Cable Driver for Broadcast Equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1395CS6#TRMPBF | 400MHz bandwidth, SOT-23-6 package, higher slew rate (2000V/µs), but lower output drive (15mA) and no shutdown pin. | Better for ultra-high-frequency small-signal buffering (e.g., ADC front-end), unsuitable for 75Ω cable driving or MUX architectures. | Select LT1395CS6#TRMPBF only when bandwidth >200MHz is required and load current <15mA; retain LT1227CS8#PBF for video cable drive or shutdown-enabled systems. |
| ADA4870ARZ | High-voltage (±20V), 1000V/µs slew rate, 1000mA output drive, but 100MHz bandwidth and no integrated shutdown. | Targeted at high-power pulse amplification (e.g., laser diode drivers), not video linearity-critical applications. | Choose ADA4870ARZ only for high-current, high-voltage pulse applications; LT1227CS8#PBF remains optimal for broadcast video fidelity and MUX integration. |
Compared with LT1395CS6#TRMPBF and ADA4870ARZ, the LT1227CS8#PBF uniquely balances 140MHz bandwidth, 30mA drive, 0.01° phase accuracy, and integrated shutdown-making it irreplaceable in cost-sensitive, high-fidelity video distribution systems requiring channel selection.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LT1227CS8#PBF can drive stably?
The LT1227CS8#PBF can drive up to 10,000pF with a 10kΩ feedback resistor (per TPC10 curve), but stability depends on feedback resistor value and gain. For 5dB peaking worst-case (AV = 2, RL = 1kΩ), use ≥1kΩ RF with ≤1000pF load. Adding a 10–20Ω series resistor at the output isolates heavier capacitive loads without compromising bandwidth in unloaded conditions. Always verify phase margin with actual layout parasitics.
Does the LT1227CS8#PBF support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LT1227CS8#PBF operates from total supply voltages as low as 4V (±2V) and supports true single-supply configurations. For +5V operation, AC-couple inputs and bias the +IN pin to mid-rail (e.g., 2.5V) using resistive dividers; output swings within 0.8V of rails, yielding ~4.2VPP dynamic range. Datasheet Figures TA08 and TA09 provide verified single-supply schematics for inverting and noninverting modes.
How does shutdown affect the LT1227CS8#PBF's output impedance and isolation?
In shutdown mode (Pin 8 pulled low), the LT1227CS8#PBF output presents ~12pF capacitance with >100MΩ DC resistance, and input-to-output isolation reaches 70dB at 10MHz for 10VP-P signals. This high-Z state prevents loading of downstream stages and enables parallel connection of multiple LT1227CS8#PBF devices in MUX topologies without signal contention or crosstalk degradation.
Can the LT1227CS8#PBF replace older video op amps like the LM1889 or EL2020?
Yes-the LT1227CS8#PBF uses the industry-standard SO-8 pinout and offers superior performance versus LM1889 (10MHz BW, 100V/µs) and EL2020 (100MHz BW, 500V/µs). Its 140MHz bandwidth, 1100V/µs slew rate, and 0.01° differential phase exceed both, while maintaining compatibility with existing PCB footprints and feedback networks. No layout changes are required for most upgrade paths.
What is the thermal limit and package dissipation capability of the LT1227CS8#PBF?
The LT1227CS8#PBF SO-8 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 100°C/W. With a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and ambient up to 70°C, allowable power dissipation is 0.8W. At ±15V supplies and 10mA quiescent current, static dissipation is 0.3W; under full 30mA load, dissipation rises to ~0.45W. Ensure ≥1cm² copper pour under the exposed pad (if present) or adjacent traces for reliable operation at full output.
