Product details
Overview
LT1468CS8#TRPBF 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 to 150 µV for 10 V steps. Its low input offset voltage (max 75 µV), 2 µV/°C drift, and balanced noise performance (5 nV/√Hz, 0.6 pA/√Hz) make it ideal for DAC current-to-voltage conversion and ADC buffering in ±5 V or ±15 V supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1468CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1468CS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1468CS8#TRPBF application, or LT1468CS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0°C to 70°C operation in SO-8 package, unity-gain stability, DC accuracy with <1 LSB error in 16-bit DAC I-to-V designs, and low distortion (–96.5 dB THD at 100 kHz).
Technical Context
The LT1468CS8#TRPBF employs a complementary bipolar process to achieve simultaneous high DC precision and wideband AC performance. Its input stage features bias current cancellation tailored for inverting configurations, with trimmed inverting input bias current (±10 nA max) and untrimmed noninverting input (±40 nA max), enabling optimal accuracy in DAC I-to-V converters where source resistance matching would degrade performance.
It delivers full 16-bit AC/DC fidelity in noninverting ADC buffer applications via high open-loop gain (>1000 V/mV into 2 kΩ), low distortion (–96.5 dB THD at 100 kHz, 10 VP-P), and rail-to-rail output swing (±12.8 V into 2 kΩ at ±15 V). The 90 MHz GBW ensures minimal gain roll-off up to 100 kHz, preserving signal integrity in high-resolution sampling systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth | 90 MHz at ±15 V - maintains >60 dB loop gain at 100 kHz for low distortion in precision signal chains. |
| 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 for 10 V step (AV = –1) - supports 16-bit settling in high-speed DAC output conditioning. |
| Input Offset Voltage | Max 75 µV at ±15 V - ensures <1 LSB error in 16-bit (65,536-step) systems with 10 V full-scale range. |
| Input Noise | 5 nV/√Hz voltage noise + 0.6 pA/√Hz current noise - optimized total noise for source resistances between 1 kΩ and 20 kΩ. |
| DC Open-Loop Gain | Min 1000 V/mV into 2 kΩ - provides >100 dB loop gain at DC for ultra-low gain error in precision buffers. |
| Output Swing | ±12.8 V into 2 kΩ at ±15 V - delivers >95% of rail-to-rail dynamic range for maximum SNR in analog front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
LT1468CS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic small outline (SO-8, narrow 0.150") package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish. Thermal resistance θJA = 190°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NULL) | Offset Null Terminal | Factory-trimmed node for inverting input bias current; no external connection required. |
| 2 (–IN) | Inverting Input | Differential input with trimmed bias current (±10 nA max); primary node for I-to-V conversion. |
| 3 (+IN) | Noninverting Input | Input with untrimmed bias current (±40 nA max); used for reference or feedback sensing. |
| 4 (V–) | Negative Supply | Connects to negative rail (e.g., –5 V or –15 V); exposed pad internally tied to V– in DFN variants (not applicable here). |
| 5 (DNC*) | No-Connect | Do not connect; internal factory test node with no functional role in circuit operation. |
| 6 (V+) | Positive Supply | Connects to positive rail (e.g., +5 V or +15 V); decoupling critical for stability and noise performance. |

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#TRPBF | Dual-channel version with identical specs per amplifier; higher supply current (6.5 mA/channel vs 5.2 mA). | Required when two independent 16-bit signal paths are needed (e.g., stereo audio, dual-channel DAQ); same PCB layout not possible due to different pinout. | Select LT1469CS8#TRPBF only when dual amplification is required; otherwise LT1468CS8#TRPBF offers lower cost and board area. |
| LTC6090CS8#TRPBF | Higher supply voltage range (±13.5 V max), lower input bias current (±2 pA), but slower GBW (27 MHz) and higher VOS (250 µV max). | Better suited for high-voltage, ultra-low-input-current applications (e.g., piezoelectric sensors); insufficient speed for 100 kHz 16-bit THD-critical use cases. | Choose LTC6090CS8#TRPBF for >±10 V signal chains requiring femtoampere input leakage; avoid for DAC I-to-V or ADC buffer where 90 MHz GBW is mandatory. |
Compared with LT1469CS8#TRPBF and LTC6090CS8#TRPBF, the LT1468CS8#TRPBF uniquely balances 16-bit settling time, 90 MHz bandwidth, and sub-100 µV offset in a single-channel SO-8 package-making it the only choice for space-constrained, high-fidelity 16-bit data acquisition nodes requiring guaranteed 0°C to 70°C performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LT1468CS8#TRPBF?
The LT1468CS8#TRPBF is specified for operation from 0°C to 70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is explicitly defined in the Order Information table of the datasheet and applies to all electrical characteristics unless otherwise noted. It is distinct from the extended –40°C to 85°C grade offered in LT1468IS8#TRPBF variants.
Does the LT1468CS8#TRPBF require external nulling components?
No, the LT1468CS8#TRPBF does not require external nulling components. Pins 1 and 8 are factory-trimmed NULL terminals for inverting input bias current cancellation and must remain unconnected in all designs. The device achieves its 75 µV max input offset voltage without user adjustment.
Can the LT1468CS8#TRPBF drive capacitive loads without instability?
Yes, the LT1468CS8#TRPBF is stable driving up to 100 pF in unity-gain configuration and up to 300 pF in inverting gain-of–1 configuration. For larger loads, a small series resistor (e.g., 10–50 Ω) between output and load plus a feedback capacitor (CF ≥ CIN) restores phase margin per Application Note AI04 guidelines.
What is the supply current consumption of the LT1468CS8#TRPBF at ±15 V?
At ±15 V supply, the LT1468CS8#TRPBF draws a typical supply current of 5.2 mA, with a maximum of 6.5 mA over temperature. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics tables on pages 4 and 5 of the datasheet under "IS Supply Current" for the S8 package at ±15 V.
Is the LT1468CS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with other SO-8 op amps?
No, the LT1468CS8#TRPBF has a unique pinout: Pin 5 is DNC (do-not-connect), and Pins 1 and 8 are NULL terminals-not standard op amp inputs or power pins. Substituting it for generic SO-8 op amps (e.g., OP27, AD827) will cause functional failure due to misrouted signals and unconnected bias nodes.
