Product details
Overview
LT1360CN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a single, high-speed voltage-feedback operational amplifier with 50MHz gain bandwidth, 800V/µs slew rate, and unity-gain stability. It delivers ±13V output swing into 500Ω at ±15V supplies and drives any capacitive load without external compensation-making it ideal for video line drivers, active filters, and precision data acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LT1360CN8#PBF datasheet, LT1360CN8#PBF pinout, LT1360CN8#PBF application, or LT1360CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its C-load capability, low 9nV/√Hz input noise, 1mV max input offset voltage, ±40°C to +85°C operating range, and PDIP-8 packaging suitable for prototyping and industrial signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The LT1360CN8#PBF employs a proprietary voltage-feedback topology with current-feedback slewing behavior, enabling fast settling (60ns to 0.1%) while retaining high DC precision. Its dual-input stage-comprising complementary NPN/PNP emitter followers-provides first-order bias current cancellation and supports balanced source impedances for minimized offset drift.
Internal compensation ensures unconditional stability with all capacitive loads up to 10,000pF, achieved via bootstrapped RC network that dynamically adjusts phase margin. The amplifier is specified across ±2.5V, ±5V, and ±15V supplies, with performance validated over –40°C to 85°C for industrial-grade operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LT1360CN8#PBF can drive without external compensation?
The LT1360CN8#PBF is guaranteed stable with any capacitive load up to 10,000pF, per the datasheet's "Capacitive Loading" section and large-signal transient curves (TA33–TA36). This C-Load™ capability eliminates need for isolation resistors or feedback capacitor tuning in cable driver and buffer applications-verified under ±15V supply and room-temperature conditions.
Does the LT1360CN8#PBF require external offset nulling in precision applications?
Offset nulling is optional but supported: Pins 1 and 8 form a 3-terminal network for trimming input offset voltage using a 10kΩ potentiometer. While the LT1360CN8#PBF has only 1.0mV max VOS, nulling reduces residual error to <100µV-critical in 16-bit DAQ systems. The circuit is shown in Figure AI01 of the official datasheet.
Can the LT1360CN8#PBF operate from a single +5V supply?
Yes-the LT1360CN8#PBF supports single-supply operation with V– tied to ground and V+ at +5V. Input common-mode range extends to 0.5V above V– and 1.1V below V+, while output swing reaches ±1.7V into 500Ω. For rail-to-rail input/output, external level-shifting or a different amplifier family is required.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LT1360CN8#PBF in its N8 package?
The LT1360CN8#PBF in the N8 (PDIP-8) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 130°C/W, as specified in the "Package/Order Information" section (Page 8). This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual θJA improves with copper pour and thermal vias.
How does the LT1360CN8#PBF differ from traditional current-feedback amplifiers (CFAs)?
Unlike CFAs, the LT1360CN8#PBF features high-impedance inputs (not low-Z inverting input), bandwidth that decreases with gain (voltage-feedback behavior), and immunity to inverting-input capacitance-induced peaking. It supports integrators and I-to-V converters-applications where CFAs fail-while delivering comparable slew rates (800V/µs) and superior DC precision.
