Product details
Overview
LT1366CS8#TR from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual precision rail-to-rail input and output operational amplifier in an 8-lead SOIC package. It operates from 1.8V to ±15V supplies, delivers 30mA output drive, maintains 90dB CMRR over full rail-to-rail input range, and achieves 400kHz gain-bandwidth with 0.13V/µs slew rate - ideal for low-voltage signal conditioning in sensor front-ends and supply current sensing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LT1366CS8#TR datasheet, LT1366CS8#TR pinout, LT1366CS8#TR application, or LT1366CS8#TR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated dual-op-amp pin configuration, real-world use cases in rail-to-rail buffering and A/D driver stages, and confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LT1366CS8#TR employs a dual-input-stage architecture: PNP and NPN differential pairs that auto-switch across the full common-mode range (VEE to VCC), enabling true rail-to-rail input operation without clamps. Its complementary Darlington output stage delivers rail-to-rail swing with <120mV low-side and <150mV high-side saturation voltage at 2.5mA load.
Conventional internal compensation ensures stability with capacitive loads ≤1000pF - unlike the LT1368/LT1369 variants requiring 0.1µF external capacitor. This makes LT1366CS8#TR suitable for direct-drive applications where output capacitance must be minimized, such as fast-settling buffer stages before ADC inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | Typically 150µV (25°C, 5V supply); enables precision DC-coupled amplification with <0.015% error in 10-bit systems. |
| CMRR | 90dB over full rail-to-rail input range; rejects supply and ground noise in single-supply sensor interfaces. |
| Supply Range | 1.8V to ±15V; supports battery-powered instrumentation (1.8–3.3V) and industrial ±15V legacy systems. |
| Output Drive | ±30mA short-circuit current; drives 10kΩ loads while maintaining rail-to-rail swing and 400kHz bandwidth. |
| Quiescent Current | 375µA per amplifier (typical); allows dual-channel precision amplification in ultra-low-power portable designs. |
| Gain-Bandwidth | 400kHz at AV = 1000; supports stable unity-gain buffers and low-frequency active filters up to ~300kHz. |
| Slew Rate | 0.13V/µs; settles 4V step to 0.1% in 30µs - sufficient for 100ksps ADC driving with minimal distortion. |
Pinout & Package
LT1366CS8#TR is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package with standard dual op-amp pinout and JEDEC MS-012AC footprint (5.0mm × 6.2mm, 1.27mm pitch).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Amplifier A output; capable of rail-to-rail swing (VEE +12mV to VCC –4mV @ 0.5mA) and ±30mA drive. |
| 2 | –IN A | Inverting input of Amplifier A; part of PNP/NPN auto-switching input pair enabling rail-to-rail common-mode range. |
| 3 | +IN A | Non-inverting input of Amplifier A; same rail-to-rail input capability as Pin 2, with 10nA max bias current. |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail; accepts single-supply (0V) or split-supply (e.g., –15V) configurations. |
| 5 | V+ | Positive supply rail; supports 1.8V to 36V total supply range; powers both amplifiers and internal bias circuitry. |
| 6 | OUT B | Amplifier B output; electrically identical to Pin 1; enables dual-channel signal processing on one die. |
| 7 | –IN B | Inverting input of Amplifier B; matched to Pin 2 for channel-to-channel offset voltage ≤400µV (25°C). |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input & output | Operates with input common-mode voltage from VEE to VCC and outputs within 12mV of rails - eliminates level-shifting in 3.3V microcontroller interfaces. |
| Low input offset drift | 2µV/°C max (0°C to 70°C); maintains accuracy across temperature in uncalibrated industrial sensors. |
| High PSRR | 110dB typical (DC to 100Hz); suppresses ripple from noisy switching regulators feeding analog signal chains. |
| Stable with capacitive loads | Guaranteed stable for CL ≤1000pF without external compensation - simplifies layout in high-impedance sensor buffer designs. |
| Overdrive protection | Clamps output polarity reversal when inputs exceed rails by >300mV; prevents latch-up during power sequencing or transient faults. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual precision rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1366CN8#PBF | Dual op-amp in 8-lead PDIP package; identical electrical specs but higher thermal resistance (θJA = 130°C/W vs 190°C/W for SOIC). | Preferred for prototyping or through-hole PCBs; unsuitable for space-constrained surface-mount production. | Select when manual soldering or breadboard evaluation is required; avoid for high-density SMT layouts. |
| AD8602ARZ | Fully rail-to-rail I/O CMOS op-amp; lower 0.5µV/°C offset drift but only 25mA output drive and 8MHz GBW - not drop-in compatible. | Better for high-precision, low-drift DC applications; insufficient drive for fast ADC charging or low-Z loads. | Choose for sub-µV offset-critical sensor nodes; reject when >30mA output or 400kHz+ closed-loop bandwidth is needed. |
Compared with LT1366CN8#PBF, LT1366CS8#TR offers superior thermal performance in compact layouts; compared with AD8602ARZ, it trades lower drift for higher output current and proven stability with capacitive loads - making it optimal for mixed-signal interface stages demanding drive strength and robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LT1366CS8#TR can drive without oscillation?
The LT1366CS8#TR is internally compensated for stable operation with capacitive loads up to 1000pF, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This eliminates the need for external compensation networks in most sensor buffer and DAC output stage applications. Loads exceeding 1000pF may require isolation resistors or careful layout to maintain phase margin above 45°.
Does the LT1366CS8#TR support true rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage?
Yes, the LT1366CS8#TR accepts input voltages from VEE to VCC - including both supply rails - due to its dual PNP/NPN input stage architecture. This is confirmed in the "Features" section and validated across all supply conditions (1.8V, 5V, ±15V) in the Electrical Characteristics tables, where CMRR is guaranteed over the full rail-to-rail input range.
What is the typical supply current per amplifier for the LT1366CS8#TR at 5V operation?
The typical supply current per amplifier for the LT1366CS8#TR is 375µA at VS = 5V, 0V and TA = 25°C, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table under "IS Supply Current per Amplifier". This value increases to 520µA maximum over the full 0°C to 70°C temperature range, enabling accurate power budgeting in battery-operated systems.
Can the LT1366CS8#TR be used as a direct replacement for older dual op-amps like the LM358?
Yes, the LT1366CS8#TR uses the industry-standard dual op-amp pinout (SOIC-8) and functions as a plug-in replacement for LM358 in many applications - but with critical improvements: rail-to-rail I/O, 150µV vs 2mV typical offset, 400kHz vs 1MHz GBW (lower but more precise), and 375µA vs 700µA per amplifier supply current. System validation is required for timing-critical or high-gain AC-coupled designs.
What is the output voltage swing specification for the LT1366CS8#TR at ±15V supplies?
At ±15V supplies, the LT1366CS8#TR delivers an output voltage swing of VEE + 0.006V (low) to VCC – 0.012V (high) with no load, and maintains VEE + 0.240V to VCC – 0.800V at 10mA sink/source current - as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VOL" and "VOH" parameters for VS = ±15V conditions.
