Product details
Overview
LT1228CS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-function 8-pin SOIC current feedback amplifier with integrated transconductance amplifier, enabling electronic DC-to-video gain control. It delivers 100MHz small-signal bandwidth, 1000V/µs slew rate, and ±15V supply operation. It is used in video keyer/fader circuits, AGC amplifiers, and tunable filter designs requiring wide dynamic range and high-speed analog signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LT1228CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1228CS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1228CS8#TRPBF application, or LT1228CS8#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package mapping, real-world use scenarios, validated alternatives, and supply-chain support for industrial and video signal-path design.
Technical Context
The LT1228CS8#TRPBF integrates two functionally distinct amplifiers on one die: a high-impedance differential-input transconductance amplifier (gm amp) with ISET-controlled gain (gm = 10 × ISET), and a high-input-impedance current feedback amplifier (CFA) optimized for low-impedance loads. The gm amp's output current drives the CFA's noninverting input (Pin 1), forming a complete variable-gain voltage amplifier without external interstage coupling.
Its architecture supports wide supply range (±2V to ±15V), rail-to-rail input common-mode range (within 1.5V of supplies), and output swing within 0.8V of rails. Gain control is implemented via externally sourced current into Pin 5 (ISET), with gm linear over 1µA–1mA and temperature-compensatable using a 2.5V reference.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar variable-gain amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8367ARUZ | 500MHz gain-bandwidth, logarithmic dB-linear transfer function, internal RMS detector; requires external power-down control | Designed for RF/IF automatic gain control, not video baseband; lacks differential input and DC-coupled capability | Select AD8367ARUZ for RF AGC above 10MHz; avoid for DC-coupled video or precision differential applications. |
| THS7530DR | Triple-channel, fully differential, 300MHz bandwidth, fixed-gain options only; no ISET-based gain control | Targeted at RGB video routing and distribution; no analog gain programming interface | Select THS7530DR for multi-channel video routing with fixed gain; use LT1228CS8#TRPBF when per-channel electronic gain adjustment is required. |
Compared with AD8367ARUZ and THS7530DR, the LT1228CS8#TRPBF uniquely combines DC-coupled differential input, ISET-programmable transconductance, and current-feedback output drive - making it the only option among the three for precision analog video gain control with sub-1% distortion and microsecond settling.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe ISET current for LT1228CS8#TRPBF?
The absolute maximum ISET current into Pin 5 is 15mA, but operation above 1mA degrades gm linearity and increases thermal stress. The datasheet specifies optimal performance across 1µA–1mA, with gm = 10 × ISET holding within ±5% over this range. Exceeding 15mA will destroy the LT1228CS8#TRPBF due to internal junction failure.
Can LT1228CS8#TRPBF operate from a single 5V supply?
Yes, LT1228CS8#TRPBF supports single-supply operation from 4V to 30V (i.e., +4V to +30V with ground referenced). At +5V, input common-mode range is ±2V to ±3.5V, output swing is ±2.5V into 150Ω, and supply current is ~7mA. Pin 4 (V–) connects to ground, and Pin 5 bias remains ~1.2V above ground - requiring appropriate ISET resistor sizing.
Does LT1228CS8#TRPBF require external compensation capacitors?
No, LT1228CS8#TRPBF is internally compensated for unity-gain stability with resistive feedback. However, capacitive load driving (>100pF) or peaking enhancement in high-gain configurations may require a series isolation resistor (10–20Ω) at Pin 6 or controlled capacitance at Pin 8. The datasheet provides "Maximum Capacitive Load vs Feedback Resistor" curves to guide selection without instability.
What is the typical THD performance of LT1228CS8#TRPBF at video frequencies?
LT1228CS8#TRPBF achieves 0.2% total harmonic distortion at 30mVRMS input and 1kHz, and maintains <0.5% THD up to 10MHz under ±15V supply conditions. This performance is validated with 75Ω termination and matches broadcast video requirements - confirmed in TPC20 and TPC21 plots showing distortion ≤ –40dBc through NTSC bandwidth.
How does temperature affect the transconductance (gm) of LT1228CS8#TRPBF?
LT1228CS8#TRPBF exhibits –3300ppm/°C transconductance drift versus absolute temperature. However, its Pin 5 bias voltage has a compensating +3300ppm/°C coefficient. When combined with a 2.5V reference (e.g., LT1004-2.5), the net gm drift is reduced to <1% over –55°C to 125°C - a design feature explicitly documented in the Applications Information section of the LT1228 datasheet.
