Product details
Overview
LT1468CDD-2#PBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a decompensated precision high-speed operational amplifier optimized for gain ≥ 2, delivering 16-bit DC accuracy with 200MHz gain bandwidth, 30V/µs slew rate, and 75µV max input offset voltage at ±15V supply. It serves as a current-to-voltage converter for 16-bit DACs and as an ADC buffer in high-fidelity data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1468CDD-2#PBF datasheet, LT1468CDD-2#PBF pinout, LT1468CDD-2#PBF application, or LT1468CDD-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AV ≥ 2 stability requirement, DFN-8 (3mm × 3mm) package thermal performance, low 0.7–2.0µV/°C VOS drift, and verified settling time of 800ns to 150µV for 10V steps in inverting configuration.
Technical Context
The LT1468CDD-2#PBF uses a decompensated two-stage transconductance amplifier architecture with trimmed inverting input bias current (±10nA max), enabling stable operation only at closed-loop gains ≥ 2. Its input stage integrates 100Ω series resistors and back-to-back diodes for ESD protection and overvoltage clamping.
DC precision is achieved via laser-trimmed input offset voltage (75µV max) and matched transistor pairs that minimize common-mode-induced drift; AC performance relies on high open-loop gain (>1000 V/mV into 2kΩ) maintained up to 100kHz and optimized total input noise (5nV/√Hz voltage noise, 0.6pA/√Hz current noise) for source impedances between 1kΩ and 20kΩ.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 200MHz - ensures ≥60dB open-loop gain at 100kHz for distortion reduction in 16-bit signal chains |
| Slew Rate | 30V/µs - supports full-scale 10V step response within 333ns, critical for fast-settling DAC I-to-V conversion |
| Input Offset Voltage | 75µV max (±15V, 0°C to 70°C) - enables <1LSB error in 16-bit systems with 6kΩ feedback resistor |
| Settling Time | 800ns to 150µV (10V step, AV = –1) - meets timing budget for 1MSPS+ data acquisition with 16-bit accuracy |
| Input Noise Density | 5nV/√Hz + 0.6pA/√Hz - total input noise minimized for 1kΩ–20kΩ source impedances, matching photodiode and DAC output Z |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5V to ±15V - supports dual-rail industrial and test equipment power domains without level-shifting |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - specified performance guaranteed across commercial temperature range for embedded instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
LT1468CDD-2#PBF is housed in an 8-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed pad internally connected to V–. Thermal resistance θJA = 43°C/W enables high-power-density PCB layouts without external heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NULL) | Factory trim terminal | No connection required; used during production for inverting input bias current calibration |
| 2 (–IN) | Inverting input | Laser-trimmed for minimal IB– (±10nA max); bias current cancellation optimized for I-to-V applications |
| 3 (+IN) | Noninverting input | Untrimmed; higher IB+ variation (±40nA max); avoid balanced source resistors to preserve DC accuracy |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply | Internally tied to exposed thermal pad; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity |
| 5 (DNC*) | Do not connect | Reserved internal node; floating connection prevents instability or parametric shift |
| 6 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts ±5V to ±15V; PSRR >98dB minimizes supply ripple coupling into high-gain signal paths |
| 7 (OUT) | Output | Drives ≥±12.8V into 2kΩ; RO = 0.02Ω at 100kHz enables low-impedance active filter feedback networks |
| 8 (NULL) | Factory trim terminal | No connection required; used for final VOS trimming; open circuit preserves specified offset performance |
Key Features

|---|---|
| 16-bit DC accuracy | 75µV max VOS + 2.0µV/°C drift ensures <1LSB error over 0°C–70°C in 16-bit (65,536-step) systems |
| Gain ≥ 2 stability | Decompensated design delivers 200MHz GBW only when closed-loop gain ≥ 2; prevents oscillation in DAC I-to-V buffers |
| Low-distortion AC performance | –96.5dB THD at 100kHz/10VP-P enables clean spectral purity in active filters and ADC front-ends |
| Optimized input noise | Total input noise minimized for RS = 1kΩ–20kΩ - matches typical DAC output impedance and photodiode transimpedance ranges |

FAQ
What is the minimum stable gain for LT1468CDD-2#PBF?
The LT1468CDD-2#PBF is decompensated and requires a minimum closed-loop gain of 2 (AV ≥ 2) for stability. This applies to both inverting (AV = –2) and noninverting (AV = +2) configurations. Attempting unity-gain operation may cause peaking or oscillation due to reduced phase margin.
Can LT1468CDD-2#PBF drive a 2kΩ load to ±12.8V with ±15V supplies?
Yes. The LT1468CDD-2#PBF guarantees a minimum output swing of ±12.8V into 2kΩ with ±15V supplies at 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This capability supports full-scale operation in 16-bit systems with 2.5V LSB resolution.
What is the purpose of Pin 1 and Pin 8 on LT1468CDD-2#PBF?
Pin 1 and Pin 8 are factory trim terminals for inverting input bias current and input offset voltage, respectively. Neither pin requires external connection; leaving them unconnected preserves the specified 75µV VOS max and ±10nA IB– max performance.
How does LT1468CDD-2#PBF achieve low input bias current in inverting applications?
The LT1468CDD-2#PBF employs laser-trimmed input circuitry that nulls inverting input bias current (IB–) at zero common-mode voltage, achieving ±10nA max. This minimizes offset errors in DAC I-to-V converters where feedback resistor current directly contributes to output error.
Is LT1468CDD-2#PBF compatible with ±5V supplies?
Yes. The LT1468CDD-2#PBF is fully specified for ±5V operation, delivering 190MHz gain bandwidth, 22V/µs slew rate, and ±2.8V output swing into 2kΩ. Its PSRR >98dB ensures robust rejection of ±5V rail noise in mixed-signal systems.
