Product details
Overview
LT1357CN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-speed, voltage-feedback operational amplifier with current-feedback slewing behavior, designed for precision data acquisition and fast settling applications. It delivers 25MHz gain bandwidth, 600V/µs slew rate at ±15V supplies, 8nV/√Hz input noise, and unity-gain stability into any capacitive load - enabling use in DAC I-to-V converters, active filters, and photodiode amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the LT1357CN8#PBF datasheet, LT1357CN8#PBF pinout, LT1357CN8#PBF application, or LT1357CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its C-load stability, low 2.5mA max supply current at ±15V, ±12V output swing into 500Ω, 115ns 0.1% settling time (10V step), and guaranteed performance across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The LT1357CN8#PBF employs a single-stage voltage-feedback topology with complementary NPN/PNP input buffering and a high-impedance gain node, enabling both high DC gain (20V/mV min at RL=1k) and current-feedback–like slewing. Its internal compensation dynamically adapts to capacitive loads via bootstrapped RC networks, ensuring stability without external components.
This architecture achieves 220ns 0.01% settling (10V step) and maintains ≥7dB open-loop gain margin at 10MHz, while supporting rail-to-rail input common-mode range (±13.4V at ±15V supplies) and differential gain/phase <0.1%/0.5° at 3.58MHz - critical for video and instrumentation signal chains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 25MHz typical at ±15V - enables stable closed-loop operation up to 10MHz with AV ≥ 2.5. |
| Slew Rate | 600V/µs typical at ±15V, AV = –2 - supports full-scale 10V transitions in ≤17ns, essential for fast DAC buffering. |
| Input Noise Voltage | 8nV/√Hz at 10kHz - preserves SNR in low-level sensor and photodiode amplification stages. |
| Supply Current | 2.5mA maximum at ±15V - balances speed and power efficiency for portable or thermally constrained systems. |
| Output Swing | ±12V into 500Ω at ±15V supplies - drives standard 50Ω/75Ω cables and ADC inputs without level-shifting. |
| Settling Time | 115ns to 0.1%, 10V step, AV = –1 - meets 12-bit accuracy requirements in multiplexed data acquisition. |
| Capacitive Load Drive | Stable with unlimited capacitive load - eliminates need for isolation resistors in buffer, cable driver, or anti-alias filter applications. |
Pinout & Package
N8 package: 8-lead plastic DIP (0.300" wide), through-hole mount, θJA = 130°C/W. RoHS-compliant, Pb-free finish (#PBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | NULL | Offset null pins - connect external 10kΩ potentiometer wiper to V–, ends to V+ and V– for fine DC offset trimming. |
| 2 | –IN | Inverting input - high-impedance node (80MΩ differential, 35MΩ common-mode) with bipolar PNP/NPN cancellation. |
| 3 | +IN | Non-inverting input - matched to –IN for CMRR ≥97dB; accepts input voltages from –13.2V to +13.4V at ±15V supplies. |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply terminal - supports ±2.5V to ±15V dual supplies; total supply voltage ≤36V. |
| 5 | NC | No connect - internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet. |
| 6 | VOUT | Amplifier output - capable of ±2.5V into 150Ω (±5V supplies) or ±12V into 500Ω (±15V supplies); short-circuit safe. |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply terminal - complements V–; supplies must be symmetric for specified AC performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| C-Load™ stability | Guaranteed unity-gain stability with any capacitive load - eliminates external compensation in cable drivers and filter buffers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1358CS8#PBF | Dual-channel version in SOIC-8; identical AC specs but higher 5mA max supply current per amplifier. | Preferred for space-constrained dual-amplifier circuits (e.g., instrumentation amp front-end), not single-channel cost-sensitive designs. | Select when needing two matched high-speed amps on one die; avoid if only one channel required and DIP footprint is preferred. |
| LT1360CS8#PBF | Higher 50MHz GBW and 800V/µs slew rate, but 4mA supply current and no guaranteed C-load stability. | Suitable for >30MHz signal paths where capacitive loading is controlled externally; not drop-in for direct cable drive. | Choose for bandwidth-critical RF/IF stages; reject if driving unknown or variable capacitive loads without redesign. |
Compared with LT1358CS8#PBF and LT1360CS8#PBF, the LT1357CN8#PBF uniquely combines DIP packaging, lowest supply current among 25MHz-class op-amps, and unconditional capacitive-load stability - making it optimal for legacy-compatible, thermally sensitive, or unbuffered cable-driving applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LT1357CN8#PBF can drive without oscillation?
The LT1357CN8#PBF is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with *any* capacitive load - including infinite capacitance - due to its adaptive C-Load™ compensation architecture. This eliminates the need for external series resistors or feedback capacitors in cable driver, filter, or DAC buffer configurations, unlike conventional op-amps which require careful load-dependent compensation.
Does the LT1357CN8#PBF support single-supply operation?
The LT1357CN8#PBF is specified for dual-supply operation (±2.5V to ±15V) and does not support true single-supply use. Its input common-mode range extends to within ~1.1V of V– and ~1.7V of V+, and output swing is asymmetric near rails. For single-supply applications, consider rail-to-rail input/output op-amps like the ADA4897-1, not the LT1357CN8#PBF.
What is the purpose of the NC pin (Pin 5) on the LT1357CN8#PBF?
Pin 5 of the LT1357CN8#PBF is designated NC (No Connect) and is internally unused. The datasheet mandates that this pin remain unconnected - soldering or routing to any net may compromise device reliability or AC performance. It serves solely as a mechanical placeholder in the 8-pin DIP layout.
How does the LT1357CN8#PBF achieve both high slew rate and low supply current?
The LT1357CN8#PBF uses a patented topology combining complementary NPN/PNP input followers with a 500Ω input resistor and mirrored current sources at the gain node. This allows large transient currents for slewing while maintaining low quiescent current (2.5mA max) - unlike traditional current-feedback op-amps that draw >5mA. The result is 600V/µs slew at just 2.5mA, a 2× efficiency gain over peers.
Can the LT1357CN8#PBF replace older op-amps like the LM7171 in existing designs?
The LT1357CN8#PBF can replace the LM7171 in many high-speed applications but requires validation of pin compatibility (both are 8-pin DIP) and nulling circuit removal - the LT1357CN8#PBF uses Pins 1/8 for offset null, whereas LM7171 uses Pins 1/5. Also, LT1357CN8#PBF offers lower input bias current (500nA vs 1.7µA), lower noise (8nV/√Hz vs 10nV/√Hz), and guaranteed C-load stability - advantages requiring layout review but no schematic change.
