Product details
Overview
LT1468AIDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision high-speed operational amplifier optimized for 16-bit data acquisition systems, delivering 90 MHz gain bandwidth, 22 V/µs slew rate, and 900 ns settling time to 150 µV for 10 V steps. Its tailored input offset voltage (max 75 µV), low drift (2 µV/°C), and bias current cancellation make it ideal for inverting DAC current-to-voltage conversion and ADC buffering in industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1468AIDD#PBF datasheet, LT1468AIDD#PBF pinout, LT1468AIDD#PBF application, or LT1468AIDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed –40°C to +85°C operation, DFN-8 (3 mm × 3 mm) package with exposed thermal pad, unity-gain stability, and total input noise optimization for source resistances between 1 kΩ and 20 kΩ.
Technical Context
The LT1468AIDD#PBF employs a complementary bipolar process to achieve simultaneous high DC precision and wideband AC performance. Its input stage features factory-trimmed inverting input bias current (IB– ≤ ±10 nA) and low input offset voltage drift (≤2 µV/°C), specifically engineered for inverting configurations like DAC I-to-V converters where common-mode rejection and thermal stability are critical.
Internally compensated for unity-gain stability, the device maintains ≥90 MHz gain bandwidth at ±15 V supplies and delivers full 16-bit accuracy up to 100 kHz - verified by –96.5 dB THD at 100 kHz, 10 VP-P, and 150 µV settling in inverting gain = –1 configuration with 2 kΩ load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth | 90 MHz at ±15 V - ensures >100 dB open-loop gain at 100 kHz for distortion reduction in ADC buffer applications. |
| Slew Rate | 22 V/µs at ±15 V - enables clean large-signal response in active filters and instrumentation amplifiers without slewing-induced distortion. |
| Settling Time | 900 ns to 150 µV (10 V step, AV = –1) - supports 16-bit settling in high-speed DAC output conditioning with minimal dead time. |
| Input Offset Voltage | Max 75 µV at ±15 V - guarantees <1 LSB error in 16-bit DAC I-to-V conversion with 6 kΩ feedback resistor (VOS + IB·RS < 1 LSB). |
| Input Noise | 5 nV/√Hz voltage noise + 0.6 pA/√Hz current noise - total input noise minimized for RS = 1 kΩ–20 kΩ, matching typical DAC and sensor interface impedances. |
| Supply Range | ±5 V to ±15 V - supports dual-rail operation across industrial and test equipment power domains without performance degradation. |

Pinout & Package
LT1468AIDD#PBF uses an 8-lead (3 mm × 3 mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad internally connected to V–. Pin 8 (NULL) is factory-trimmed and must remain unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NULL) | Factory trim terminal | Unused; no external connection permitted - internal trimming of inverting input bias current only. |
| 2 (–IN) | Inverting input | High-impedance node with trimmed bias current (≤±10 nA); optimized for I-to-V converter feedback networks. |
| 3 (+IN) | Noninverting input | Untrimmed input with higher bias current variation; avoid balanced source resistors to preserve DC accuracy. |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply | Connect to system ground or negative rail; exposed pad tied internally to V– for thermal conduction. |
| 5 (DNC*) | No-connect | Do not connect - reserved for internal test or calibration; floating per datasheet. |
| 6 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts ±5 V to ±15 V; requires local 0.01 µF + 1 µF bypassing for stable high-frequency operation. |
| 7 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Capable of ±12.8 V swing into 2 kΩ; drives capacitive loads up to 300 pF in inverting configuration. |
| 8 (NULL) | Factory trim terminal | Unused; no external connection permitted - internal trimming of inverting input bias current only. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 16-bit accurate settling | 900 ns to 150 µV (0.0023% of 10 V) enables direct interface with 16-bit DACs and ADCs without post-processing correction. |
| Input bias current cancellation | Inverting input bias current trimmed to ≤±10 nA at 0 V common mode - minimizes offset error in I-to-V converters with high-value feedback resistors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1469CS8#PBF | Dual-channel version; same 90 MHz GBW and 22 V/µs slew but higher supply current (6.5 mA/channel vs 5.2 mA). | Requires PCB redesign for dual-amplifier functions (e.g., differential driver + reference buffer); not pin-compatible. | Select when two matched 16-bit channels are needed in same footprint; verify thermal derating for dual-channel dissipation. |
| LTC6228IDC#PBF | Rail-to-rail output; lower slew rate (14 V/µs); wider supply range (2.8 V to 11.75 V single-ended); higher input bias current (±200 pA). | Optimized for low-voltage, battery-powered 16-bit systems; unsuitable for ±15 V industrial rails or DAC I-to-V with 6 kΩ feedback. | Prefer for portable instrumentation with 5 V or lower supplies; avoid where bipolar ±15 V operation or sub-µV offset is mandatory. |
Compared with LT1468AIDD#PBF, LT1469CS8#PBF offers channel density at the cost of layout complexity and power, while LTC6228IDC#PBF trades high-voltage capability and ultra-low offset for rail-to-rail flexibility and lower supply voltage support - neither is pin-compatible, and both require schematic and layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum input offset voltage specification for LT1468AIDD#PBF over its full operating temperature range?
The LT1468AIDD#PBF has a maximum input offset voltage of 75 µV at ±15 V supply, tested and guaranteed over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is confirmed in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table on page 3 of the datasheet under "LT1468A, DD Package" conditions, making it tighter than the standard LT1468DD variant (200 µV max) and suitable for 16-bit applications where offset drift must be minimized.
Can LT1468AIDD#PBF drive a 300 pF capacitive load in inverting configuration without oscillation?
Yes, the LT1468AIDD#PBF is specified to drive up to 300 pF in inverting configuration (AV = –1) without instability, as stated in the "Capacitive Loading" section on page 11. For reliable operation, use RF ≥ 10·RO and add a feedback capacitor CF = (2RO/RF)·CL; typical values are RF = 5.1 kΩ, CF = 5 pF, and CL = 300 pF. The LT1468AIDD#PBF's internal compensation and robust phase margin ensure stability under these conditions.
Why is Pin 8 (NULL) on LT1468AIDD#PBF required to remain unconnected?
Pin 8 on the LT1468AIDD#PBF is a factory-trim terminal used exclusively during production to null the inverting input bias current (IB–). It is not intended for user access or external circuitry. Connecting Pin 8 risks disrupting the calibrated bias cancellation, degrading DC accuracy and increasing offset drift. The datasheet explicitly states "DO NOT CONNECT" for this pin, and the LT1468AIDD#PBF's guaranteed IB– ≤ ±10 nA depends on leaving Pin 8 floating.
How does the LT1468AIDD#PBF achieve 16-bit settling performance in DAC I-to-V applications?
The LT1468AIDD#PBF achieves 16-bit settling via a combination of 22 V/µs slew rate, 90 MHz gain bandwidth, and optimized internal architecture that minimizes settling tail artifacts. In a typical LTC1597 DAC interface with 6 kΩ feedback and 20 pF compensation, the LT1468AIDD#PBF settles to 150 µV (0.0023% of 10 V) in 900 ns - well within the 1.33 µs theoretical RC limit for 16-bit resolution. This performance is validated using AN74 methodology and is intrinsic to the LT1468AIDD#PBF's single-stage design and thermal layout.
Is LT1468AIDD#PBF pin-compatible with other LT1468 variants in the DFN-8 package?
Yes, the LT1468AIDD#PBF shares identical pinout and footprint with all other LT1468xIDD variants (e.g., LT1468CIDD#PBF, LT1468IDD#PBF) in the 8-lead DFN package, as confirmed in the "PIN CONFIGURATION" diagram on page 2. All DFN versions use the same top-view pin numbering (1=NULL, 2=–IN, 3=+IN, 4=V–, 5=DNC, 6=V+, 7=OUT, 8=NULL) and mechanical outline (LTC DWG #05-08-1698 Rev C), enabling drop-in replacement within the same temperature grade family.
