Product details
Overview
LT1468IDD#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 to 150 µV for 10 V steps. Its tailored input offset voltage drift (2 µV/°C max) and low inverting input bias current (±10 nA max) make it ideal for DAC current-to-voltage conversion and ADC buffering in industrial instrumentation and precision test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LT1468IDD#PBF datasheet, LT1468IDD#PBF pinout, LT1468IDD#PBF application, or LT1468IDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed ±40°C to +85°C operation, 8-lead 3 mm × 3 mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad, DC accuracy under inverting configurations, and full 16-bit AC/DC performance at 100 kHz without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LT1468IDD#PBF employs a complementary bipolar process to achieve simultaneous high DC precision and wideband AC performance. Its single-stage architecture enables fast settling (900 ns to 150 µV), while internal bias current cancellation minimizes errors in inverting applications like DAC I-to-V conversion.
It features unity-gain stability, operates from ±5 V to ±15 V supplies, and maintains low distortion (–96.5 dB THD at 100 kHz, 10 VP-P) and low noise (5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 0.6 pA/√Hz input current noise) across its specified temperature range.
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 low distortion in ADC buffer applications. |
| Slew Rate | 22 V/µs at ±15 V - supports full-scale 10 V step response within 450 ns, critical for active filter and instrumentation amplifier large-signal fidelity. |
| Settling Time | 900 ns to 150 µV (AV = –1, 10 V step) - enables 16-bit settling in high-speed DAC output stages without post-amplifier correction. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 75 µV max (±15 V) - guarantees <1 LSB error in 16-bit DAC I-to-V converters with 6 kΩ feedback resistor. |
| Input Bias Current (–IN) | ±10 nA max - minimized and trimmed for inverting configurations, reducing DC error in precision transimpedance amplifiers. |
| Output Swing | ±12.8 V into 2 kΩ (±15 V supply) - delivers rail-to-rail usable dynamic range for ±12 V signal chains in industrial analog front-ends. |
| Input Noise | 5 nV/√Hz voltage noise + 0.6 pA/√Hz current noise - total input noise optimized for source resistances between 1 kΩ and 20 kΩ. |
Pinout & Package
LT1468IDD#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 | Do not connect; used for inverting input bias current calibration during manufacturing. |
| 2 (–IN) | Inverting input | Low-bias-current node optimized for transimpedance and inverting gain configurations. |
| 3 (+IN) | Noninverting input | Untrimmed input; higher bias current variation - avoid balanced source resistance to preserve DC accuracy. |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply | Internally connected to exposed thermal pad; requires low-impedance ground plane for thermal and noise performance. |
| 5 (DNC*) | No-connect | Not internally bonded; leave floating per datasheet - no routing or soldering required. |
| 6 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts ±5 V to ±15 V; bypass with 0.01 µF ceramic + 1 µF tantalum for stable high-frequency operation. |
| 7 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Capable of driving ≥100 pF in unity gain and ≥300 pF in AV = –1; add series R + feedback C for larger loads. |
| 8 (NULL) | Factory trim terminal | Identical function to Pin 1; must remain unconnected to avoid degrading bias current specification. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 16-bit accurate settling | 900 ns to 150 µV ensures full resolution in 100 ksps+ DAC output stages without iterative correction. |
| Inverting input bias current trim | ±10 nA max at ±15 V enables sub-µV error in 6 kΩ-feedback DAC I-to-V converters over temperature. |
| Optimized total input noise | Minimum integrated noise at RS = 1 kΩ–20 kΩ eliminates need for external noise filtering in photodiode and sensor interfaces. |
| Thermally enhanced DFN package | θJA = 43°C/W with exposed V– pad allows sustained 5.2 mA supply current operation at 85°C ambient without derating. |
| Stable with capacitive loads | Drives up to 300 pF at AV = –1 without oscillation - simplifies layout in ADC driver and anti-alias filter applications. |

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; identical AC/DC specs per amplifier but higher supply current (6.5 mA per amp vs. 5.2 mA). | Requires PCB redesign for dual-channel use; unsuitable for space-constrained single-amplifier layouts. | Select when two matched 16-bit amplifiers are needed on one die - reduces inter-channel skew in synchronized acquisition. |
| LTC6228IDC#PBF | Higher GBW (410 MHz), lower noise (2.1 nV/√Hz), but only 12-bit settling (1.2 µs to 1 mV); not rated for 16-bit accuracy. | Cannot guarantee 150 µV settling; insufficient DC precision for DAC I-to-V or metrology ADC buffering. | Prefer for >10 MSPS signal chain front-ends where speed outweighs DC accuracy - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with LT1468IDD#PBF, LT1469CS8#PBF offers channel pairing at the cost of layout area and power, while LTC6228IDC#PBF trades verified 16-bit settling for raw bandwidth and noise - neither matches LT1468IDD#PBF's unique blend of guaranteed 16-bit settling, low bias current trim, and industrial temperature range in a 3 mm × 3 mm DFN.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for LT1468IDD#PBF?
The LT1468IDD#PBF is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C, with junction temperature limited to 150°C. This industrial temperature grade is confirmed in the Order Information table for the DD package variant and validated across all electrical characteristics in the –40°C to +85°C column of the Electrical Characteristics tables.
Does LT1468IDD#PBF require external nulling circuitry?
No, LT1468IDD#PBF does not require external nulling circuitry. Its input offset voltage and inverting input bias current are factory-trimmed, and the datasheet explicitly states "Make no connection to Pin 8" and advises removing nulling circuitry when replacing older op amps. External trimming would degrade the specified 75 µV VOS max.
Can LT1468IDD#PBF drive a 1000 pF capacitive load?
No, LT1468IDD#PBF cannot directly drive a 1000 pF load stably. It supports up to 100 pF in unity gain and 300 pF in AV = –1. For 1000 pF, the datasheet mandates adding a series resistor (RO ≥ (1 + RF/RG)/(2π·CL·5 MHz)) and a feedback capacitor (CF = (2RO/RF)·CL) per Figure 1468 AI04.
Is LT1468IDD#PBF pin-compatible with LT1468CS8#PBF?
No, LT1468IDD#PBF is not pin-compatible with LT1468CS8#PBF. The former uses an 8-lead 3 mm × 3 mm DFN (DD) package with exposed pad and specific pin 1 location, while the latter uses an 8-lead SOIC (S8) package with gull-wing leads and different mechanical footprint - requiring separate PCB layouts and rework tooling.
What is the typical supply current for LT1468IDD#PBF at ±15 V?
The typical supply current for LT1468IDD#PBF at ±15 V is 5.2 mA, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 4 of the datasheet under "IS Supply Current" at ±15 V. This value is measured across temperature and applies to the DD package variant including LT1468IDD#PBF.
