Product details
Overview
LT1490AIN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual rail-to-rail input/output micropower operational amplifier in an 8-lead PDIP package, featuring 500 μV max input offset voltage, 40 μA per amplifier quiescent current, and operation from 2 V to 44 V total supply. Its Over-The-Top® input stage accepts common-mode voltages up to 44 V above V– independent of V+, enabling direct battery monitoring in automotive and industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1490AIN8#PBF datasheet, LT1490AIN8#PBF pinout, LT1490AIN8#PBF application, or LT1490AIN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its reverse-battery protection to 18 V, rail-to-rail output swing driving ±20 mA, unity-gain stability with optional 10,000 pF capacitive load compensation, and guaranteed –40°C to +85°C performance across single- and split-supply configurations.
Technical Context
The LT1490AIN8#PBF employs a dual-input-stage architecture (NPN/PNP) that enables continuous high-impedance operation across its full 44 V over-the-top common-mode range - including operation with inputs > V+ - while avoiding phase reversal for inputs 15 V below V– or 44 V above V–. Built-in 1 kΩ series resistors and clamping diodes protect inputs against faults down to 15 V below V–.
It delivers rail-to-rail output swing (e.g., 2.95 V high / 250 mV low at 3 V supply, 5 mA sink/source) with 200 kHz gain-bandwidth product and 0.035 V/μs slew rate. Internal compensation ensures unity-gain stability; external 0.22 μF + 150 Ω network extends stable capacitive load drive to 10,000 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 44 V total - supports single-cell LiFePO₄ (2.5 V), 12 V automotive, and ±15 V industrial rails without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 500 μV max (–40°C to +85°C) - enables accurate current sensing and precision signal conditioning without trimming. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 μA per amplifier - allows multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation and remote sensor nodes. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Extends 44 V above V–, independent of V+ - permits direct high-side battery voltage monitoring in 24 V/48 V systems. |
| Output Drive Capability | ±20 mA rail-to-rail - drives ADC reference buffers, LED indicators, and 4–20 mA transmitter loads directly. |
| Reverse Supply Protection | Withstands –18 V reverse battery - eliminates need for external blocking diodes in automotive ECU power inputs. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 200 kHz - sufficient for DC–10 kHz sensor signal conditioning and active filter applications. |
Pinout & Package
LT1490AIN8#PBF uses the 8-lead narrow-body PDIP (N8) package (0.300″ width), with θJA = 130°C/W and operating junction temperature up to 150°C. Lead finish is lead-free (Pb-free) with NiPdAu plating.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Inverting amplifier output A - rail-to-rail swing, ±20 mA capable, internally compensated. |
| 2 | –IN A | Inverting input A - high-impedance node with Over-The-Top® operation; protected to –15 V below V–. |
| 3 | +IN A | Non-inverting input A - same Over-The-Top® range and protection as –IN A. |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail - underside metal pad (in DFN variants) connected here; reverse-battery fault return path. |
| 5 | V+ | Positive supply rail - bypass with 0.01 μF ceramic capacitor within 25 mm for stability. |
| 6 | OUT B | Inverting amplifier output B - identical specs and drive capability as OUT A. |
| 7 | –IN B | Inverting input B - electrically isolated from Channel A; shares same Over-The-Top® input architecture. |
| 8 | +IN B | Non-inverting input B - fully independent channel with matched offset and bias characteristics. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Over-The-Top® Input Stage | Enables high-side sensing without level shifters - inputs operate 44 V above V– even on 3 V supplies. |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O | Output swings within 10 mV of V– and 25 mV of V+ at 5 mA load - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage systems. |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Draws <1 nA at –18 V reverse supply - eliminates external protection diodes and associated voltage drop/power loss. |
| No Phase Reversal | Guaranteed no output inversion for inputs 15 V below V– or 44 V above V– - critical for fault-tolerant power monitoring. |
| Capacitive Load Drive | Stable with ≥200 pF; optional 0.22 μF + 150 Ω network extends to 10,000 pF - supports long-cable sensor interfaces. |
Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitoring | Current Sensing in 4–20 mA Transmitters |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1490ACS8#PBF | Same silicon, SO-8 package (θJA = 190°C/W); 0°C to 70°C temp grade vs. –40°C to 85°C. | Limited to commercial-temperature environments; unsuitable for under-hood automotive or industrial field deployments. | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-extended-temperature board-level designs where PDIP footprint is unavailable. |
| AD8602ARZ | Single-supply rail-to-rail op amp (Analog Devices); 65 μA IQ, 1 mV VOS, 8 MHz GBW - higher speed, higher power, lower precision. | Not Over-The-Top®; common-mode range limited to V– to V+ – 0.1 V - cannot monitor high-side battery voltage directly. | Choose when bandwidth >100 kHz is required and high-side sensing is handled externally; avoid for battery monitor front-ends. |
Compared with LT1490ACS8#PBF and AD8602ARZ, the LT1490AIN8#PBF uniquely combines extended temperature operation, true Over-The-Top® input capability, and ultra-low quiescent current - making it irreplaceable for robust, low-power, high-voltage sensing in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode input voltage for LT1490AIN8#PBF?
The LT1490AIN8#PBF supports a common-mode input voltage range extending up to 44 V above V–, independent of V+. This Over-The-Top® capability allows direct connection to high-side battery terminals in 24 V or 48 V systems without attenuation or level shifting - a defining feature confirmed in the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Applications Information sections.
Does LT1490AIN8#PBF require external compensation for capacitive loads?
The LT1490AIN8#PBF is internally compensated for loads up to 200 pF. For larger capacitive loads - such as long cables or ADC input capacitance - a 0.22 μF capacitor in series with a 150 Ω resistor must be placed between the output and ground. This network stabilizes the LT1490AIN8#PBF up to 10,000 pF, as verified in the Typical Performance Characteristics and Applications Information sections.
Can LT1490AIN8#PBF operate with a single 3V supply?
Yes, the LT1490AIN8#PBF is fully specified and functional on a single 3 V supply (V+ = 3 V, V– = 0 V). It delivers rail-to-rail output swing (e.g., 2.95 V high / 250 mV low at 5 mA), 500 μV max input offset, and 40 μA per amplifier quiescent current - making it ideal for coin-cell or LiFePO₄-powered portable devices.
What is the reverse supply voltage rating of LT1490AIN8#PBF?
The LT1490AIN8#PBF is rated for reverse supply voltage up to –18 V (i.e., V+ < V– by 18 V), drawing less than 1 nA supply current under this condition. This reverse-battery protection eliminates the need for external series diodes in automotive and industrial power inputs - a key reliability feature documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Applications Information sections.
Is LT1490AIN8#PBF pin-compatible with other packages in the LT1490A family?
Yes, the LT1490AIN8#PBF shares identical pinout and electrical functionality with the LT1490A in MSOP (MS8), SO-8 (S8), and DFN (DD) packages. All variants use the same 8-pin configuration: OUT A, –IN A, +IN A, V–, V+, OUT B, –IN B, +IN B. This allows drop-in replacement across packages when thermal or layout constraints change - confirmed in the Pin Configuration diagrams for N8, MS8, S8, and DD packages.
