Product details
Overview
LT1229CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual 100MHz current feedback amplifier in an 8-lead SOIC package, featuring 1000V/µs slew rate, ±2V to ±15V supply range, 30mA output drive, and 0.04% differential gain for video applications. It serves as a high-speed buffer and cable driver in RGB and composite video signal paths.
For engineers reviewing the LT1229CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1229CS8#PBF pinout, LT1229CS8#PBF application, or LT1229CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include closed-loop bandwidth stability across gains ≥2, input common-mode range within 1.5V of rails, output swing within 0.8V of supplies, and thermal performance in SO8 packages at 70°C ambient.
Technical Context
The LT1229CS8#PBF employs a current feedback architecture with high-impedance noninverting input (25MΩ, 3pF) and low-impedance inverting input, enabling constant bandwidth over voltage gains from 2 to 100 when using resistive feedback networks. Its transresistance gain (100–200kΩ) and fast internal node settling support sub-45ns 0.1% settling time.
It operates on split supplies from ±2V to ±15V (or single 4V–30V), with input common-mode range extending to within 1.5V of either rail and outputs swinging to within 0.8V of supplies into 400Ω loads. Supply current is 6mA per amplifier at 25°C with negative temperature coefficient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 100MHz small-signal –3dB BW at G = 2, RL = 100Ω, RF = RG = 750Ω; maintains >10MHz even at G = 100. |
| Slew Rate | 2500V/µs (overdriven inverting mode); 300–700V/µs typical under standard test conditions. |
| Output Drive | 30mA continuous output current; drives 150Ω video cables with 0.04% differential gain and 0.1° phase error. |
| Input Impedance | 25MΩ || 3pF at noninverting input; enables high-Z buffering without loading source circuits. |
| Supply Range | ±2V to ±15V (4V–30V total); supports single-supply 5V operation with proper DC biasing. |
| Settling Time | 45ns to 0.1% for 10V step; thermal settling tail <1mV/V ensures stable video waveform fidelity. |
| CMRR | 55–69dB over full temp range; sufficient for analog video gain stages where common-mode rejection is critical. |
Pinout & Package
LT1229CS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package, 150°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in still air, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, body size 3.9mm × 4.9mm × 1.75mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input A (–IN A) | Current-summing node for amplifier A; requires resistive feedback for stability; sensitive to stray capacitance. |
| 2 | Noninverting Input A (+IN A) | High-impedance voltage-sensing node; common-mode range extends to within 1.5V of supplies. |
| 3 | Output A (OUT A) | Class-AB output stage capable of ±12V swing into 400Ω; optimized for low-impedance cable driving. |
| 4 | Negative Supply (V–) | Power rail connection; supports asymmetric supplies; mismatch shifts offset by ~350µV/V. |
| 5 | Positive Supply (V+) | Power rail connection; quiescent current decreases with rising temperature (negative TC). |
| 6 | Noninverting Input B (+IN B) | Independent high-Z input for second amplifier; no shared circuitry between channels. |
| 7 | Inverting Input B (–IN B) | Second current-summing node; crosstalk to channel A is >65dB at 10MHz on well-laid PCBs. |
| 8 | Output B (OUT B) | Independent output; 100dB channel isolation enables dual-channel video processing without interference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current feedback topology | Maintains 100MHz bandwidth across closed-loop gains of 2–100, unlike voltage-feedback op-amps whose GBW collapses with gain. |
| Video-optimized linearity | 0.04% differential gain / 0.1° differential phase error at NTSC composite video levels (2VP, RL = 150Ω). |
| Wide supply flexibility | Operates from ±2V to ±15V; validated for single 5V supply with external DC bias networks (e.g., TA11 circuit). |
| Thermally robust SO8 layout | Specified max supply voltage of ±10.6V at 70°C ambient in S8 package, based on 0.533W max power dissipation. |
| Low inter-channel crosstalk | ≥100dB up to 100kHz, >65dB at 10MHz-enables independent dual-channel amplification without signal coupling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1227CS8#PBF | Single-channel version; identical bandwidth (140MHz), higher slew rate (1500V/µs), same SO8 package. | Requires two devices for dual-channel use; better suited for space-constrained single-channel designs. | Select LT1227CS8#PBF only when dual-channel integration is unnecessary and higher slew rate is prioritized. |
| LT1395CS6#TRMPBF | SOT-23-6 single CFA; 400MHz bandwidth, 1000V/µs slew, lower supply current (3.5mA), but no dual-channel option. | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign; optimized for ultra-compact portable instrumentation. | Choose LT1395CS6#TRMPBF only for new designs targeting miniaturization and higher bandwidth, not drop-in replacement. |
Compared with LT1229CS8#PBF, LT1227CS8#PBF offers higher speed in half the channel count and footprint, while LT1395CS6#TRMPBF trades integration and thermal robustness for extreme bandwidth and size reduction-neither is pin-compatible, but both serve overlapping high-speed analog signal path roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LT1229CS8#PBF in a 70°C ambient environment?
The LT1229CS8#PBF has a maximum recommended supply voltage of ±10.6V (21.2V total) when operating at 70°C ambient in its SO8 package, based on thermal limits of 0.533W max power dissipation and 150°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Exceeding this risks junction temperature exceeding 150°C.
Does LT1229CS8#PBF support single-supply operation?
Yes, LT1229CS8#PBF supports single-supply operation down to 4V total (e.g., +5V with ground). Application Note TA11 demonstrates a 5V composite video driver using external DC biasing to maintain input/output headroom; input common-mode range extends to within 1.5V of either rail.
What is the small-signal rise time of LT1229CS8#PBF under standard test conditions?
The LT1229CS8#PBF achieves a small-signal rise time of 3.5ns (10% to 90%) when configured with RF = RG = 750Ω, RL = 100Ω, and ±15V supplies-consistent with its 100MHz small-signal bandwidth and optimized for high-frequency video and test signal fidelity.
How does LT1229CS8#PBF compare to voltage-feedback op-amps in bandwidth vs. gain behavior?
Unlike voltage-feedback op-amps whose bandwidth drops inversely with closed-loop gain (GBW constant), the LT1229CS8#PBF maintains ~100MHz bandwidth from G = 2 to G = 10 due to its current feedback architecture-enabling consistent high-speed performance across multiple gain settings without sacrificing bandwidth.
Can LT1229CS8#PBF drive capacitive loads directly?
Yes, LT1229CS8#PBF can drive capacitive loads directly when using appropriate feedback resistor values per the "Maximum Capacitive Load vs Feedback Resistor" curve in the datasheet; for worst-case 1kΩ load at G = 2, up to 10,000pF is supported with ≤5dB peaking. Adding a 10–20Ω series resistor at the output provides additional isolation if needed.
