Product details
Overview
LT1490IN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual rail-to-rail input and output micropower operational amplifier in an 8-lead PDIP package. It operates from total supply voltages of 2V to 44V, draws ≤50µA per amplifier, delivers ±20mA output current, supports input common-mode range from –0.4V to 44V, and is specified over –40°C to 85°C for battery monitoring and sensor conditioning applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT1490IN8#PBF datasheet, LT1490IN8#PBF pinout, LT1490IN8#PBF application, or LT1490IN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its reverse-battery protection to 18V, rail-to-rail swing with 250mV low-side saturation at 5mA sink, 98dB CMRR, 200kHz gain-bandwidth product, and ability to drive 10,000pF capacitive loads with optional compensation.
Technical Context
The LT1490IN8#PBF employs a dual-input-stage architecture (NPN and PNP) enabling operation with inputs up to 44V above V– and 0.3V above V+, while maintaining high-impedance behavior across the full common-mode range. Its unique input design eliminates phase reversal for inputs 22V below V– or 44V above V–, independent of V+.
This op amp is internally compensated for unity-gain stability and drives ≥200pF capacitively without external components; optional 0.22µF + 150Ω network extends stable operation to 10,000pF. It features built-in reverse-supply protection (≤1nA current at –18V) and no supply sequencing requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2V to 44V total - enables single-supply operation down to 2V or high-voltage split supplies up to ±22V. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤50µA per amplifier - supports multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation and remote sensors. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.4V to 44V - allows direct sensing of signals referenced to ground or above positive rail in 3V/5V systems. |
| Output Drive Capability | ±20mA - sufficient to directly interface with ADC reference buffers, LED drivers, or 4–20mA loop transmitters. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 200kHz - supports precision DC-coupled signal conditioning and low-frequency active filtering up to ~100kHz. |
| CMRR | 98dB - rejects power supply noise and common-mode interference in noisy industrial environments. |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Up to –18V - prevents damage and leakage during incorrect battery insertion in automotive or portable equipment. |
Pinout & Package
LT1490IN8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DIP (N8) package with 0.300-inch body width, through-hole mounting, and industry-standard pin spacing. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; leads are tin-lead plated for compatibility with standard wave-solder processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input A | High-impedance differential input node for amplifier A; accepts common-mode voltages up to 44V above V–. |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input A | High-impedance differential input node for amplifier A; supports rail-to-rail input operation including beyond V+. |
| 3 | Output A | Rail-to-rail output capable of sourcing/sinking ±20mA; drives capacitive loads up to 10,000pF with compensation. |
| 4 | V– (Negative Supply) | Reference terminal for negative supply rail; internal protection diodes limit fault current to <100mA transiently. |
| 5 | Non-Inverting Input B | High-impedance differential input node for amplifier B; identical electrical characteristics to Pin 2. |
| 6 | Inverting Input B | High-impedance differential input node for amplifier B; identical electrical characteristics to Pin 1. |
| 7 | Output B | Rail-to-rail output for amplifier B; electrically isolated from Output A; shares same drive strength and compensation capability. |
| 8 | V+ (Positive Supply) | Power input for positive supply rail; requires local 0.01µF bypass capacitor within 1 inch for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input and output | Enables full dynamic range utilization in low-voltage (3V/5V) single-supply systems without level-shifting circuitry. |

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LT1490IN8#PBF can drive stably?
The LT1490IN8#PBF is internally compensated for stable operation with ≥200pF capacitive loads. With optional external compensation - a 0.22µF capacitor in series with a 150Ω resistor connected between output and ground - it drives capacitive loads up to 10,000pF reliably across all output currents and supply voltages. This capability is confirmed in the datasheet's Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure G21) and Applications Information section.
Does the LT1490IN8#PBF support true rail-to-rail input operation beyond the positive supply rail?
Yes. The LT1490IN8#PBF features a unique dual-input-stage architecture that allows both inputs to operate up to 0.3V above V+ while maintaining high impedance and linear behavior. Its input common-mode range extends to 44V above V–, meaning it functions correctly even when V+ is as low as 3V and inputs reach 44V - a critical feature for high-side current sensing and industrial signal acquisition.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the LT1490IN8#PBF?
The LT1490IN8#PBF is guaranteed to meet all specifications over the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This is explicitly stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics sections of the datasheet (Note 3), distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants like LT1490CMS8#PBF (0°C to 70°C).
How does reverse battery protection work on the LT1490IN8#PBF?
The LT1490IN8#PBF incorporates internal reverse-supply protection circuitry that limits supply current to less than 1nA when V+ is reversed to –18V relative to V–. This eliminates the need for external series diodes in battery-powered systems, preserving efficiency and simplifying layout. The protection is effective regardless of input voltage conditions and is verified across the full temperature range.
Can the LT1490IN8#PBF be used in single-supply configurations with ground-referenced inputs?
Yes. The LT1490IN8#PBF is explicitly designed for single-supply operation with input common-mode range extending to –0.4V (i.e., 400mV below ground) and rail-to-rail output swing. When powered from 3V or 5V with V– = 0V, it accurately amplifies signals from ground up to the positive rail - making it ideal for sensor interfaces, supply current sensing, and portable instrumentation where ground is the natural reference.
