Product details
Overview
LT1468CS8-2#PBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a decompensated precision high-speed operational amplifier optimized for gain ≥ 2 configurations, delivering 200MHz gain bandwidth, 30V/µs slew rate, and ≤75µV max input offset voltage at ±15V supplies. It enables 16-bit DC+AC performance in DAC current-to-voltage conversion and ADC buffer circuits across –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the LT1468CS8-2#PBF datasheet, LT1468CS8-2#PBF pinout, LT1468CS8-2#PBF application, or LT1468CS8-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AV ≥ 2 stability requirement, 800ns settling time to 150µV, low 5nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and SO-8 package compatibility with precision data acquisition layouts.
Technical Context
The LT1468CS8-2#PBF uses a decompensated two-stage transconductance amplifier architecture with bias current cancellation at the inverting input, tailored for inverting applications like DAC I-to-V conversion. Its open-loop gain exceeds 1000 V/mV into 2kΩ at ±15V, and gain-bandwidth remains ≥200MHz at 100kHz test frequency.
Stability requires closed-loop gain ≥2 (AV = –1 or ≥2 noninverting), enforced by reduced internal compensation capacitance. Input stage protection includes 100Ω series resistors and back-to-back diodes per input, with ESD clamps to both supplies-limiting input current to 10mA under overvoltage conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 200MHz at ±15V - ensures ≥80dB open-loop gain at 100kHz for distortion reduction in 16-bit systems |
| Slew Rate | 30V/µs at ±15V - supports full-scale 10V step settling in <1µs without slewing-induced distortion |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤75µV max at ±15V - enables <1LSB error in 16-bit DAC I-to-V converters with 6kΩ feedback |
| Settling Time | 800ns to 150µV for 10V step - meets timing budget for 1MSPS+ data acquisition with 16-bit accuracy |
| Input Voltage Noise | 5nV/√Hz at 10kHz - dominates total noise for source impedances <1kΩ, critical for low-noise sensor interfaces |
| Common-Mode Rejection | ≥96dB at ±12.5V CM - maintains DC accuracy when driving from single-ended sources in noisy industrial environments |
| Output Swing | ±12.8V into 2kΩ at ±15V - delivers rail-to-rail usable dynamic range for ±12V signal chains |
| Supply Current | 5.2mA max at ±15V - balances speed and power for battery-sensitive portable instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
LT1468CS8-2#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package, 0.150" wide, with exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is marked by bevel or dimple; Pin 8 is factory-trim only and must remain unconnected in circuit.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NULL) | Null offset adjustment terminal | Unused in standard operation; no external connection required |
| 2 (–IN) | Inverting input | Bias current trimmed near zero at VCM = 0V for minimal error in I-to-V applications |
| 3 (+IN) | Noninverting input | Untrimmed bias current; avoid balanced source resistors to prevent DC accuracy degradation |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply | Internally connects to exposed pad in DFN variants; ground plane recommended beneath SO-8 thermal pad |
| 5 (DNC*) | Do-not-connect terminal | Factory trim point for inverting input current; must float, not tied to any net |
| 6 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts ±5V or ±15V dual supplies; bypass with 0.01µF RF + 1µF tantalum per supply pin |
| 7 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Capable of ±12.8V swing into 2kΩ; drives 500Ω loads with <1% THD up to 100kHz |
| 8 (NULL) | Null offset adjustment terminal | Unused; leave unconnected - not a ground or supply tie point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 16-bit DC + AC accuracy | Combines ≤75µV VOS, ≤2µV/°C drift, and –96.5dB THD @100kHz for simultaneous precision and speed |
| Optimized total input noise | Minimum integrated noise achieved with 1kΩ < RS < 20kΩ source resistance - ideal for photodiode and DAC interfaces |
| Gain ≥2 stability | Decompensated design enables 200MHz GBW while maintaining phase margin >60° at AV = –1 |
| Input bias current cancellation | Inverting input IB– trimmed to ±10nA max - reduces offset error in current-sensing applications |
| Robust input protection | 100Ω series resistors + back-to-back diodes + ESD clamps allow safe operation with ±0.7V differential or ±36V total supply stress |

FAQ
What is the minimum stable gain for LT1468CS8-2#PBF?
The LT1468CS8-2#PBF is decompensated and requires a closed-loop gain of ≥2 (AV = –1 or AV ≥ 2 noninverting) for stability. This is enforced by reduced internal compensation capacitance. Attempting unity-gain operation may cause peaking or oscillation. For unity-gain stable alternatives, refer to the LT1468 datasheet.
Can LT1468CS8-2#PBF drive heavy capacitive loads?
The LT1468CS8-2#PBF is not optimized for direct capacitive loading >100pF. For DAC output capacitance (e.g., 20pF), use feedback compensation (CF = RG × CIN / RF). Driving >500pF loads requires isolation resistors or external buffer stages to maintain phase margin and prevent ringing.
What is the purpose of Pin 5 (DNC*) on LT1468CS8-2#PBF?
Pin 5 on LT1468CS8-2#PBF is labeled DNC* (Do Not Connect) and serves as a factory trim point for inverting input bias current. It must remain unconnected in all circuit designs-no grounding, pulling, or routing is permitted, as it is not electrically functional in end-user applications.
How does LT1468CS8-2#PBF achieve 16-bit accuracy in DAC I-to-V applications?
The LT1468CS8-2#PBF achieves 16-bit accuracy in DAC I-to-V applications via ≤75µV max input offset voltage, ≤2µV/°C drift, and inverting-input bias current trimmed to ±10nA. With a 6kΩ feedback resistor, total offset error stays below 1LSB (≈150µV) across temperature, as confirmed in the typical application circuit (TA01).
Is LT1468CS8-2#PBF compatible with ±5V supplies?
Yes, LT1468CS8-2#PBF is fully specified for ±5V operation: slew rate is 22V/µs (min), gain bandwidth is 190MHz (typ), and output swing reaches ±2.8V into 2kΩ. All key DC parameters-including input offset voltage and CMRR-are guaranteed across ±5V to ±15V supply ranges per the datasheet.
