Product details
Overview
LT1259IN#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel 130MHz current feedback amplifier with independent shutdown pins, designed for high-fidelity video signal distribution across 75Ω coaxial cables. It delivers 60mA output current, 1600V/µs slew rate, and maintains 0.1dB gain flatness beyond 30MHz - enabling precise RGB and composite video cable driving in broadcast and professional AV equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LT1259IN#PBF datasheet, LT1259IN#PBF pinout, LT1259IN#PBF application, or LT1259IN#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include fast 100ns turn-on/40ns turn-off timing, ±2V to ±15V supply flexibility, differential gain of 0.016%, differential phase of 0.075°, and industrial-grade –40°C to +85°C operation confirmed for the IN package variant.
Technical Context
The LT1259IN#PBF implements a complementary bipolar current feedback architecture optimized for low-distortion, wideband video amplification. Its transresistance-based topology enables stable gain-setting with external RF/RG resistors and supports unity-gain and non-inverting configurations up to AV = 10 without peaking.
Each channel features independent enable (EN) logic that places the output in true high-impedance state with zero supply current draw during shutdown - critical for MUX applications requiring seamless channel switching and power gating in portable or spread-spectrum systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 130MHz (–3dB, ±12V, RL = 150Ω, AV = 2) - supports full NTSC/PAL baseband video spectrum with margin. |
| Slew Rate | 1600V/µs (±15V supplies, RF = 1kΩ) - ensures minimal distortion on fast-rising video sync pulses and square waves. |
| Differential Gain / Phase | 0.016% / 0.075° - meets broadcast-grade color fidelity requirements for RGB and composite video routing. |
| Supply Range | ±2V to ±15V (4V–30V total) - compatible with legacy ±5V, ±12V, and modern low-voltage industrial rails. |
| Shutdown Current | 0µA per amplifier - eliminates quiescent drain in inactive channels, essential for battery-powered MUX designs. |

| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - specified and tested for industrial environments, distinct from commercial-grade CN/CS variants. |
Pinout & Package
LT1259IN#PBF is supplied in a 14-pin plastic DIP (N package) with 0.300″ wide body, rated for θJA = 70°C/W and junction temperature up to 150°C. Pin assignments are validated per LTC DWG #05-08-1510.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | –IN A | Inverting input of Amplifier A - requires resistive feedback to OUT A for stability; sensitive to stray capacitance. |
| 2 | +IN A | Noninverting input of Amplifier A - high-impedance node (≥2MΩ at ±5V); referenced to system ground. |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference for both amplifiers - must be connected directly to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 4 | GND | Second ground pin - isolated internally; improves PSRR and reduces crosstalk between channels. |
| 5 | GND | Third ground pin - dedicated to power return path; minimizes supply-induced noise coupling. |
| 6 | +IN B | Noninverting input of Amplifier B - electrically identical to +IN A; supports independent signal routing. |
| 7 | –IN B | Inverting input of Amplifier B - shares same layout rules as –IN A; avoid shared traces with other channels. |
| 8 | EN A | Enable control for Amplifier A - pulled high internally; drive ≤2V below V+ to activate; draws 60µA when enabled. |
| 9 | OUT A | Amplifier A output - capable of 60mA into short circuit; presents 4.4pF + 75kΩ load when disabled. |
| 10 | V+ | Positive supply rail - accepts ±2V to ±15V; mismatch >1V increases offset voltage by ~500µV/V. |
| 11 | GND | Fourth ground pin - provides additional return path for V– decoupling and output stage current. |
| 12 | V– | Negative supply rail - symmetrical to V+; allows single-supply operation with V– tied to ground. |
| 13 | OUT B | Amplifier B output - fully independent; supports simultaneous dual-channel video drive or MUX summing. |
| 14 | EN B | Enable control for Amplifier B - identical behavior to EN A; enables true 2-channel time-multiplexing. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel current feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1252CN8#PBF | Single-channel, no shutdown, 140MHz bandwidth, 1100V/µs slew rate, commercial temp range (0°C to 70°C). | Lacks independent enable and dual-channel integration; requires two units for MUX function. | Select when cost-sensitive single-channel video buffering is needed and industrial temperature range is not required. |
| LMH6720MA/NOPB | Dual-channel, no shutdown, 380MHz bandwidth, 1600V/µs slew rate, industrial temp range (–40°C to +85°C), different pinout. | Higher bandwidth but no enable logic; requires external MOSFET switches for MUX functionality. | Select when maximum small-signal bandwidth is prioritized over integrated power gating and cable-drive linearity. |
Compared with LT1259IN#PBF, LT1252CN8#PBF offers lower cost but sacrifices channel integration and industrial temperature rating, while LMH6720MA/NOPB delivers higher bandwidth at the expense of added external switching complexity and reduced differential phase accuracy (0.15° vs. 0.075°).

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LT1259IN#PBF?
The LT1259IN#PBF is an industrial-grade variant, specified and tested over –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Specified Temperature Range (Note 2)" and distinguishes it from commercial-grade LT1259CN/LT1259CS parts rated only from 0°C to 70°C. Thermal derating follows θJA = 70°C/W for the N-package DIP.
Does LT1259IN#PBF support single-supply operation?
Yes, LT1259IN#PBF supports true single-supply operation: V– can be tied to ground while V+ operates from +4V to +30V (i.e., ±2V to ±15V interpreted as 4V–30V total). Input common-mode range extends to within 2V of either rail, and output swing reaches ±3.7V into 150Ω on ±5V supplies - enabling use in +5V-only video line drivers with proper level-shifting.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on LT1259IN#PBF?
The EN pin on LT1259IN#PBF is internally pulled high; pulling it ≥2V below V+ disables the amplifier, reducing supply current to 0µA and placing the output in high-impedance state (4.4pF || 75kΩ). When enabled, EN draws ~60µA. The enable/disable transitions occur in 100ns and 40ns respectively - verified under ±5V supplies with 0.1V input step and 150Ω load.
Can LT1259IN#PBF drive 75Ω coaxial cable directly?
Yes, LT1259IN#PBF is explicitly characterized for 75Ω cable driving: typical application circuits show RF = RG = 1.6kΩ, RL = 150Ω (dual-terminated), delivering 30MHz square wave response with <5% overshoot. Output current capability of 60mA ensures stable 2VPP into 75Ω, and differential phase/gain specs (0.075°/0.016%) confirm broadcast compliance.
What is the difference between LT1259IN#PBF and LT1259IS#PBF?
LT1259IN#PBF uses a 14-pin PDIP (N) package with θJA = 70°C/W, while LT1259IS#PBF uses a 14-pin SOIC (S) package with θJA = 110°C/W. Both share identical electrical specifications and industrial –40°C to +85°C rating, but the SOIC version offers surface-mount compatibility and higher thermal resistance - requiring careful PCB copper area design for equivalent thermal performance.
