Product details
Overview
LT1466LCS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual precision rail-to-rail input and output operational amplifier optimized for micropower, low-voltage, and high-accuracy signal conditioning. It delivers 75µA max supply current per amplifier, 390µV max input offset voltage across full rail-to-rail common-mode range, and 120kHz gain bandwidth product - enabling use in battery-powered sensor front-ends and precision A/D driver circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LT1466LCS8#PBF datasheet, LT1466LCS8#PBF pinout, LT1466LCS8#PBF application, or LT1466LCS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed VOS over full VCM range, 83dB min CMRR, rail-to-rail output swing within 27mV of rails at 2.5mA, and SO-8 package compatibility with standard dual op amp layouts.
Technical Context
The LT1466LCS8#PBF employs a patented dual-input-stage architecture: a PNP pair active near V– and an NPN pair active near V+, both independently trimmed for offset. This enables consistent 390µV max VOS across VCM = V– to V+, unlike conventional rail-to-rail op amps specified only at mid-supply.
Its complementary bipolar output stage (Q12/Q13) delivers true rail-to-rail swing with 235mV max VOL at 2.5mA sink and V+ – 0.57V max VOH at 2.5mA source. Gain-bandwidth is stabilized by internal capacitor CC, yielding 120kHz GBW and 0.04V/µs slew rate under ±5V or single 3V–5V supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 75µA max per amplifier - enables multi-year operation on coin cells in portable instrumentation. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 390µV max across full VCM range (V– to V+) - eliminates calibration drift when sensing near supply rails. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 83dB min - ensures stable DC accuracy in noisy industrial sensor interfaces. |
| Output Swing | VOL ≤ 270mV at 2.5mA sink; VOH ≥ V+ – 0.57V at 2.5mA source - drives ADC inputs to full-scale without headroom loss. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 120kHz - supports anti-aliasing filtering and low-frequency transducer signal conditioning. |
| Input Bias Current | 6nA typ - preserves accuracy in high-impedance pH or photodiode front-ends. |
| Large-Signal Voltage Gain | 400V/mV min into 10kΩ - guarantees <0.025% gain error in closed-loop configurations. |
Pinout & Package

| 5 | +IN B | Non-inverting input of Amplifier B - independent channel for differential pair or dual-sensor conditioning. |
| 6 | –IN B | Inverting input of Amplifier B - configured for unity-gain buffer, integrator, or transimpedance stage. |
| 7 | OUT B | Inverting amplifier output - provides second analog channel without additional IC footprint. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail - operates from 2V to ±5V; enables 3V logic-compatible designs. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1366CS8#PBF | Higher 520µA supply current; 475µV VOS only specified at VCM = V+/2; 400kHz GBW. | Better for higher-speed, AC-coupled applications where micropower is secondary. | Select LT1466LCS8#PBF when full-rail VOS guarantee and 75µA operation are mandatory; choose LT1366CS8#PBF if bandwidth >120kHz is required. |
| LTC1450CS8#PBF | Zero-drift architecture; 10µV VOS max; 3mA supply current; 700kHz GBW. | Superior DC accuracy for ultra-low-drift applications, but incompatible with strict micropower budgets. | Choose LTC1450CS8#PBF for µV-level precision in lab equipment; retain LT1466LCS8#PBF for battery life-critical portable designs. |
Compared with LT1366CS8#PBF and LTC1450CS8#PBF, the LT1466LCS8#PBF uniquely balances micropower (75µA), full-rail VOS guarantee (390µV), and adequate bandwidth (120kHz) - making it optimal for long-life, low-voltage sensor interfaces where zero-drift isn't required but rail-to-rail fidelity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the LT1466LCS8#PBF?
The LT1466LCS8#PBF has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±8V. Operation is specified across a wide range of 2V to ±5V, supporting both single-supply (e.g., 3V or 5V) and split-supply (e.g., ±2.5V) configurations. Exceeding ±8V risks permanent damage to the LT1466LCS8#PBF.
Does the LT1466LCS8#PBF support rail-to-rail input at the negative supply rail?
Yes, the LT1466LCS8#PBF guarantees 390µV maximum input offset voltage at VCM = V–, confirming true rail-to-rail input capability down to the negative rail. This is achieved via independent trimming of the PNP input stage and is explicitly verified in the datasheet's electrical characteristics table - a key differentiator of the LT1466LCS8#PBF versus generic rail-to-rail op amps.
What is the typical output voltage swing of the LT1466LCS8#PBF at 2.5mA load current?
At 2.5mA sink current, the LT1466LCS8#PBF delivers a typical output voltage swing of V– + 0.47V (max 0.54V); at 2.5mA source current, it delivers V+ – 0.31V (min V+ – 0.62V). These values ensure usable headroom for driving 10-bit+ ADCs directly from the LT1466LCS8#PBF without external level-shifting circuitry.
Can the LT1466LCS8#PBF drive capacitive loads without instability?
Yes, the LT1466LCS8#PBF is characterized to drive ≥1000pF capacitive loads without oscillation, as confirmed in the "Capacitive Load Handling" plot (G17) of its datasheet. This allows direct connection to ADC input capacitors or RC anti-aliasing filters without requiring isolation resistors - a verified behavior of the LT1466LCS8#PBF under standard operating conditions.
Is the LT1466LCS8#PBF pin-compatible with standard dual op amp footprints?
Yes, the LT1466LCS8#PBF uses the industry-standard 8-lead SOIC (SO-8, narrow 0.150") package with conventional dual op amp pinout (OUT A, –IN A, +IN A, V–, +IN B, –IN B, OUT B, V+). It is mechanically and electrically compatible with PCB footprints designed for LM358, AD8602, or other dual SO-8 op amps - no layout changes are needed when substituting the LT1466LCS8#PBF.
