Product details
Overview
LT1457CN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual, precision JFET-input operational amplifier optimized for driving large capacitive loads up to 10,000 pF while maintaining low offset voltage (450 µV max), low input bias current (50 pA at 70°C), and low voltage noise (13 nV/√Hz). It serves as a high-stability buffer and signal conditioner in precision analog front-ends requiring phase-reversal immunity and rail-to-rail common-mode input range.
For engineers reviewing the LT1457CN8#PBF datasheet, LT1457CN8#PBF pinout, LT1457CN8#PBF application, or LT1457CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include capacitive load drive capability, input offset drift (4 µV/°C), channel separation (130 dB), slew rate (4 V/µs), and N8-package thermal resistance (θJA = 130°C/W).
Technical Context
The LT1457CN8#PBF employs a proprietary JFET input stage with phase-reversal protection circuitry that prevents output inversion when inputs exceed negative common-mode limits - a critical reliability feature absent in legacy JFET op amps like LF412. Its internal compensation ensures stable unity-gain operation into 10 nF loads without external compensation.
It delivers 130 dB channel separation from DC to 5 kHz and maintains 1200 µV max input offset voltage in the N8 package across –40°C to 85°C, with supply current per amplifier tightly specified at 1.8–3.0 mA under ±15 V supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | 450 µV max (plastic DIP package); enables sub-mV error budgets in 16-bit ADC driver circuits |
| Slew Rate | 4 V/µs; supports ≥100 kHz full-power bandwidth into 2 kΩ loads |
| Capacitive Load Drive | 10,000 pF; eliminates need for isolation resistors when driving sample-and-hold capacitors or long cables |
| Voltage Noise Density | 13 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz; suitable for low-noise photodiode amplification with >100 dB SNR |
| Channel Separation | 130 dB (DC–5 kHz); prevents crosstalk in dual-channel instrumentation and A/D converter front-ends |
| Input Bias Current | 50 pA at 70°C; preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., pH electrodes) |
| Common-Mode Range | ±10.5 V on ±15 V supplies; allows direct interfacing to bipolar sensors without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
LT1457CN8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DIP (N8) package with JEDEC MS-001AC outline, 0.300" wide body, and through-hole mounting. Thermal resistance θJA = 130°C/W enables reliable operation at ambient temperatures up to 85°C with minimal heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input A | High-impedance JFET input node for Channel A; accepts common-mode voltages from –11 V to +8 V |
| 2 | Non-inverting Input A | High-impedance JFET input node for Channel A; matched to Pin 1 for low offset current |
| 3 | Positive Supply (V+) | Connects to +15 V (max ±20 V); powers both amplifiers and sets upper common-mode limit |
| 4 | Inverting Input B | High-impedance JFET input node for Channel B; electrically isolated from Channel A by 130 dB |
| 5 | Non-inverting Input B | High-impedance JFET input node for Channel B; identical specs to Pin 2 |
| 6 | Output B | Class AB output stage capable of ±13 V swing into 2 kΩ; drives 10 nF loads without oscillation |
| 7 | Negative Supply (V–) | Connects to –15 V (max ±20 V); defines lower common-mode and output swing limits |
| 8 | Output A | Class AB output stage identical to Pin 6; fully independent channel with no shared internal nodes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Phase reversal protection | Prevents output inversion when inputs drop below –12 V (±15 V supplies), eliminating servo lock-up in closed-loop systems |
| 10,000 pF capacitive load drive | Enables direct connection to large hold capacitors in sample-and-hold circuits without stability-compensation networks |
| 130 dB channel separation | Minimizes inter-channel crosstalk in dual-sensor measurement systems operating up to 5 kHz |
| 4 µV/°C offset drift | Ensures <100 µV total offset variation over –40°C to +85°C, critical for uncalibrated industrial temperature ranges |
| JFET input stage (50 pA @ 70°C) | Supports ultra-high source impedances (>1 GΩ) in photodiode and piezoelectric sensor interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1057CN8#PBF | 3× higher slew rate (12 V/µs) but only rated for 100 pF load; 10× higher input bias current (500 pA @ 70°C) | Better for high-speed signal conditioning where capacitive loading is minimal | Select LT1057CN8#PBF only if bandwidth >1 MHz is required and load capacitance <100 pF |

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LT1457CN8#PBF can drive without oscillation?
The LT1457CN8#PBF is characterized to drive up to 10,000 pF capacitive loads stably in unity-gain configuration, as confirmed in the manufacturer's Typical Performance Characteristics (TPC20). This capability is enabled by internal compensation and does not require external isolation resistors - a key differentiator from standard JFET op amps. The LT1457CN8#PBF achieves this while maintaining ≤10% overshoot, making it ideal for sample-and-hold and long-cable driver applications.
Does the LT1457CN8#PBF provide phase-reversal protection, and how does it compare to the LF412?
Yes, the LT1457CN8#PBF includes integrated phase-reversal protection circuitry that prevents output inversion when inputs fall below the negative common-mode limit (e.g., <–12 V on ±15 V supplies), unlike the LF412 which exhibits destructive phase reversal under the same conditions. This feature eliminates servo lock-up risks in closed-loop systems. The LT1457CN8#PBF's protection is inherent to its architecture and requires no external components - a documented advantage verified in Applications Information Figure AI03.
What is the input offset voltage specification for the LT1457CN8#PBF over temperature?
The LT1457CN8#PBF has a maximum input offset voltage of 450 µV at 25°C and 1200 µV across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, with a typical drift coefficient of 4 µV/°C. These values are explicitly specified for the N8 (plastic DIP) package in the Electrical Characteristics tables. The LT1457CN8#PBF's offset stability is further enhanced by low warm-up drift (<5 µV after 150 minutes), as shown in TPC03.
Can the LT1457CN8#PBF operate from ±5 V supplies, and what performance changes occur?
Yes, the LT1457CN8#PBF supports supply voltages from ±4.5 V to ±18 V, with full specifications guaranteed from ±5 V to ±17 V. At ±5 V, PSRR degrades slightly (min 86 dB vs. 88 dB at ±15 V), and output swing reduces to ±3.5 V (vs. ±13 V at ±15 V), but input common-mode range remains rail-to-rail. All key parameters - including 50 pA bias current at 70°C and 130 dB channel separation - remain valid. The LT1457CN8#PBF thus supports low-voltage precision designs without functional compromise.
Is the LT1457CN8#PBF pin-compatible with other dual JFET op amps in the N8 package?
No - the LT1457CN8#PBF uses a unique N8 pinout optimized for dual-channel symmetry and thermal balance: Pins 1/2/8 are Channel A (–IN, +IN, OUT), Pins 4/5/6 are Channel B (–IN, +IN, OUT), with V+ on Pin 3 and V– on Pin 7. This differs from industry-standard layouts (e.g., LT1013). Substituting the LT1457CN8#PBF into existing designs requires PCB revision. The LT1457CN8#PBF's pin mapping is documented in the "N8 PACKAGE" diagram on page 2 of the official datasheet.
