Product details
Overview
LT1468IDD-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. It serves as a current-to-voltage converter for 16-bit DACs and as an ADC buffer in high-fidelity data acquisition systems operating from ±5V or ±15V supplies across –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the LT1468IDD-2#PBF datasheet, LT1468IDD-2#PBF pinout, LT1468IDD-2#PBF application, or LT1468IDD-2#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (8-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN), confirmed pin functions, real-world settling time (800ns to 150µV), noise performance (5nV/√Hz), and validated alternatives for inverting and noninverting precision signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The LT1468IDD-2#PBF uses a decompensated architecture requiring minimum closed-loop gain of 2 (AV = –1 or ≥ +2) for stability, enabling higher open-loop gain at frequency than unity-gain-stable counterparts. Its input stage features trimmed inverting input bias current (≤10nA) and tailored offset drift (≤2µV/°C) for inverting applications like DAC I-to-V conversion.
DC precision is maintained via matched input transistor pairs and factory-trimmed nulling; AC performance leverages high slew rate and wide bandwidth to achieve <0.01% settling in 800ns for 10V steps while maintaining –96.5dB THD at 100kHz with 10VP-P output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 200MHz - Ensures ≥80dB open-loop gain at 100kHz for low distortion in ADC buffering. |
| Slew Rate | 30V/µs - Supports full-scale 10V step response within 333ns, critical for fast-settling active filters. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 75µV - Enables ≤1LSB error in 16-bit DAC I-to-V conversion with 6kΩ feedback resistor. |
| Settling Time | 800ns to 150µV - Measured at AV = –1, 10V step; meets timing budget for 1MSPS+ data acquisition. |
| Input Noise Voltage | 5nV/√Hz - Dominates total noise for source impedances 1k–20kΩ, optimal for photodiode amplifiers. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5V to ±15V - Compatible with industrial and test equipment rails; specified over full –40°C to 85°C range. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 110dB - Maintains DC accuracy despite supply ripple or ground shifts in instrumentation front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
LT1468IDD-2#PBF is housed in an 8-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed pad internally connected to V–. Pin 8 is unconnected (factory trim only) and must remain floating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NULL) | Null offset adjustment terminal | Unused in standard operation; no external connection required. |
| 2 (–IN) | Inverting input | Factory-trimmed for minimal bias current (≤10nA); primary node for DAC current injection. |
| 3 (+IN) | Noninverting input | Untrimmed; higher bias current variation; used for reference or feedback in noninverting configurations. |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply | Internally connects to exposed thermal pad; requires low-impedance PCB ground plane for thermal management. |
| 5 (DNC*) | Do not connect | Reserved pin; no internal connection; must be left unconnected per datasheet. |
| 6 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts ±5V or ±15V; bypass with 0.01µF ceramic + 1µF tantalum for stable high-frequency operation. |
| 7 (OUT) | Output | Drives ≥±12.8V into 2kΩ load; supports 22mA short-circuit current with thermal protection. |
| 8 (NULL) | Factory inverting input bias trim | No user connection; solder mask must cover to prevent accidental contact. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 16-bit DC accuracy | 75µV max VOS and 2µV/°C max drift enable sub-LSB error in precision DAC interfaces without calibration. |
| Gain ≥ 2 stability | Decompensated design achieves 200MHz GBW while remaining stable at AV = –1 or AV ≥ +2, outperforming unity-gain op amps in speed-critical buffers. |
| Optimized total input noise | Minimum integrated noise achieved with source resistors between 1kΩ and 20kΩ-ideal for photodiode and sensor front-ends. |
| Low distortion at high frequency | –96.5dB THD at 100kHz/10VP-P ensures fidelity in active filter and instrumentation amplifier stages. |
| Robust input protection | 100Ω series resistors + back-to-back diodes on both inputs limit fault current to ≤10mA, enhancing system reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision high-speed operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC6090IS8#PBF | Unity-gain stable; 28MHz GBW; 2.5µV/°C VOS drift; SO-8 package | Better DC drift but lower bandwidth; suited for gain < 2 or space-constrained SO-8 layouts | Select when unity-gain stability or lower drift is prioritized over 200MHz bandwidth |
| ADA4898-1ARMZ | Unity-gain stable; 275MHz GBW; 120µV max VOS; 8-lead MSOP package | Higher bandwidth but looser DC specs; better for wideband non-precision filtering | Select when >200MHz bandwidth is needed and 16-bit DC accuracy is secondary |

FAQ
What is the minimum stable gain for LT1468IDD-2#PBF?
The LT1468IDD-2#PBF is decompensated and requires a minimum closed-loop gain of 2 (AV ≥ +2 or AV = –1) for stability. Configurations with gain < 2-such as unity-gain followers-are unstable and may oscillate. The LT1468 (unity-gain stable version) should be used instead for AV = 1 applications.
Does LT1468IDD-2#PBF support ±5V operation?
Yes, the LT1468IDD-2#PBF is fully specified for ±5V and ±15V dual supplies across its entire operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C). Electrical characteristics-including 75µV max input offset voltage, 30V/µs slew rate, and 200MHz gain bandwidth-are guaranteed under ±5V conditions per the datasheet's "Electrical Characteristics" tables.
What is the function of Pin 8 on LT1468IDD-2#PBF?
Pin 8 on the LT1468IDD-2#PBF is reserved for factory trimming of the inverting input bias current and has no user functionality. It must remain unconnected (floating) in all circuit designs. Solder mask should cover this pad to prevent accidental shorts or leakage paths that could degrade DC performance.
Can LT1468IDD-2#PBF drive heavy capacitive loads?
The LT1468IDD-2#PBF is not optimized for direct capacitive loading >100pF. For DAC outputs with tens of pF capacitance-as shown in the typical application-the recommended solution is to add a feedback capacitor (e.g., 22pF) to cancel the pole formed by feedback resistor and input capacitance. Direct driving of >200pF loads risks peaking or instability without external compensation.
How does LT1468IDD-2#PBF achieve 16-bit accuracy in DAC I-to-V conversion?
The LT1468IDD-2#PBF achieves 16-bit accuracy in DAC I-to-V conversion through 75µV max input offset voltage, ≤10nA max inverting input bias current (trimmed at VCM = 0V), and 2µV/°C max offset drift. With a 6kΩ feedback resistor, total error remains below 150µV (<1LSB of 10V full-scale), satisfying 16-bit monotonicity and linearity requirements without calibration.
