Product details
Overview
LT1464ACN8#PBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a dual micropower JFET-input operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low input bias current (0.5pA typ, 2pA max), 1MHz gain bandwidth, and unity-gain stability with up to 10nF capacitive loads. It operates from ±5V or ±15V supplies, delivers ±13.5V output swing into 10kΩ, and targets precision photocurrent amplification and low-droop track-and-hold circuits in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1464ACN8#PBF datasheet, LT1464ACN8#PBF pinout, LT1464ACN8#PBF application, or LT1464ACN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed picoampere bias current over temperature, matching specifications between amplifiers, C-load drive capability without external compensation, and compatibility with ±5V/±15V supply rails in high-impedance sensor front-ends.
Technical Context
The LT1464ACN8#PBF employs JFET input stage architecture enabling 0.5pA typical input bias current and 10¹²Ω differential input resistance. Its internal compensation ensures unconditional unity-gain stability with capacitive loads up to 10nF - a critical feature for photodiode transimpedance and sample-hold applications where stray capacitance is unavoidable.
It features rail-to-rail input common-mode range including the positive supply, 0.9V/µs slew rate, and full matching specifications (e.g., 0.8mV max offset voltage match, 0.5pA noninverting bias current match) across both amplifiers - enabling precision dual-channel signal conditioning without external trimming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | 0.5pA typ / 2pA max at 25°C - enables accurate amplification of sub-picoamp photocurrents without significant error. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1MHz typ - supports stable closed-loop operation up to ~100kHz in unity-gain configuration with 10nF load. |
| Supply Current per Amp | 200µA max - allows dual-amplifier operation from coin-cell batteries for multi-year portable device life. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Includes positive rail (V+) - simplifies interfacing with sensors referenced to V+ in single-supply derived systems. |
| Output Voltage Swing | ±13.5V into 10kΩ @ ±15V - delivers >90% rail-to-rail dynamic range for high-fidelity analog signal capture. |
| Unity-Gain Stable Load | Up to 10nF capacitive load - eliminates need for isolation resistors in photodiode or piezoelectric sensor interfaces. |
| Offset Voltage Match | 0.8mV max (VS = ±15V) - ensures matched DC performance in dual-path instrumentation and differential measurement topologies. |
Pinout & Package
LT1464ACN8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead PDIP (N8) package with 0.300-inch width, RoHS-compliant lead finish, and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; leads are tin-lead (SnPb) or matte tin per ordering option.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | +IN A | Noninverting input of Amplifier A - high-impedance node requiring guarded layout to preserve picoampere bias performance. |
| 2 | –IN A | Inverting input of Amplifier A - used for feedback connection in transimpedance or inverting configurations. |
| 3 | OUT A | Output of Amplifier A - capable of driving ≥10kΩ load to within 1.5V of either supply rail. |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply pin - must be decoupled locally with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 | V+ | Positive supply pin - shared supply for both amplifiers; requires local 0.1µF ceramic + 10µF tantalum decoupling. |
| 6 | –IN B | Inverting input of Amplifier B - electrically isolated from Amplifier A; matching specs apply vs. –IN A. |
| 7 | +IN B | Noninverting input of Amplifier B - identical bias current and CMRR characteristics as +IN A. |
| 8 | OUT B | Output of Amplifier B - independent output stage; channel separation >132dB at 10Hz prevents crosstalk in dual-sensor systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Picoampere input bias current | 0.5pA typ ensures <1µV error in 2GΩ transimpedance gain setting - critical for femtoamp-level photocurrent detection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual JFET-input op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1462CN8#PBF | 28µA supply current per amp (vs. 200µA), 175kHz GBW, drives 10µF load - lower power but significantly reduced bandwidth and slew rate. | Preferred for ultra-low-power, sub-10kHz applications like long-life environmental monitors; unsuitable for >50kHz track-and-hold or active filtering. | Select LT1462CN8#PBF only when supply current is primary constraint and bandwidth <200kHz suffices. |
| OPA2140AIDR | 1.8MHz GBW, 20V/µs slew rate, 1pA IB (typ), SO-8 package - higher speed and rail-to-rail output, but not specified for 10nF C-load stability. | Better for high-speed precision applications (e.g., 100ksps data loggers); requires external compensation for >1nF capacitive loads. | Choose OPA2140AIDR when bandwidth >500kHz is required and capacitive loading is ≤1nF; verify stability per layout. |
Compared with LT1462CN8#PBF and OPA2140AIDR, the LT1464ACN8#PBF uniquely balances picoampere bias current, 1MHz bandwidth, and guaranteed 10nF C-load stability - making it irreplaceable in precision, moderate-bandwidth, high-impedance sensor interfaces where all three traits are simultaneously required.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LT1464ACN8#PBF can drive while remaining unity-gain stable?
The LT1464ACN8#PBF is specified for unity-gain stability with up to 10nF capacitive load, as confirmed in the datasheet's "C-Load™" feature and TPC13 phase margin vs. CLOAD plot. This eliminates need for isolation resistors in photodiode transimpedance amplifiers and track-and-hold circuits using standard 10nF polystyrene hold capacitors. Exceeding 10nF may reduce phase margin below 45°, risking oscillation.
Does the LT1464ACN8#PBF support operation from ±5V supplies, and how does performance compare to ±15V?
Yes, the LT1464ACN8#PBF is fully specified for ±5V and ±15V supplies. At ±5V, input bias current is ±0.4pA typ (vs. ±0.5pA at ±15V), supply current is 135–200µA per amp, and output swing is ±3.5V into 2kΩ. All key parameters - including offset voltage match, CMRR, and PSRR - are guaranteed across both supply ranges, enabling flexible design in low-voltage portable systems.
How does the LT1464ACN8#PBF prevent phase reversal when input common-mode voltage exceeds the negative rail?
The LT1464ACN8#PBF uses proprietary input stage design that avoids phase reversal even when common-mode input extends beyond the negative supply rail - a known failure mode in legacy JFET op amps. As shown in Figure 1c of the datasheet, it maintains correct polarity under ±5.2V sine input exceeding the –5V rail, preventing servo lock-up and ensuring robustness in real-world sensor interfaces with transient overvoltage.
What are the guaranteed matching specifications between the two amplifiers in the LT1464ACN8#PBF?
The LT1464ACN8#PBF guarantees amplifier-to-amplifier matching: 0.8mV max offset voltage match, 0.5pA max noninverting bias current match (∆IB+), 74dB min common-mode rejection match (∆CMRR), and 78dB min power supply rejection match (∆PSRR) at ±15V. These are measured between Amplifier A and B and are 100% tested - enabling precision differential circuits without external trimming.
Is the LT1464ACN8#PBF suitable for use in photodiode transimpedance amplifiers, and what layout considerations apply?
Yes, the LT1464ACN8#PBF is ideal for photodiode transimpedance amplifiers due to its 0.5pA typical input bias current, 10¹²Ω input resistance, and 10nF C-load stability. Layout requires guarding the +IN and –IN pins with grounded copper traces, short direct connections to feedback resistor/capacitor, and local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling on V+ and V– pins to minimize leakage paths and noise pickup.
