Product details
Overview
LT1491AHS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a quad rail-to-rail input/output micropower operational amplifier optimized for high-voltage single-supply operation. It features 500 μV max input offset voltage, 40 μA per amplifier quiescent current, ±20 mA output drive capability, and Over-The-Top® input stage enabling common-mode operation up to 44 V above V– independent of V+. It is widely used in battery monitoring, supply current sensing, and sensor conditioning circuits operating from 2 V to 44 V total supply.
For engineers reviewing the LT1491AHS#TRPBF datasheet, LT1491AHS#TRPBF pinout, LT1491AHS#TRPBF application, or LT1491AHS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed –40°C to 125°C operation, reverse-battery protection to 18 V, rail-to-rail I/O swing, 200 kHz gain bandwidth, and compatibility with capacitive loads up to 10,000 pF using optional compensation.
Technical Context
The LT1491AHS#TRPBF employs a dual-input-stage architecture (NPN + PNP) enabling true Over-The-Top® operation: inputs remain functional and high-impedance even when biased 44 V above V–, regardless of V+ level. Its internal protection includes 1 kΩ series resistors and clamping diodes limiting fault current below V– by up to 15 V, eliminating phase reversal under overvoltage conditions.
It is unity-gain stable and internally compensated for ≥200 pF load capacitance; optional 0.22 μF/150 Ω output network extends stable driving capability to 10,000 pF. The device draws <1 nA supply current during reverse-battery fault (–18 V), and shuts down cleanly when V+ is removed while maintaining sub-0.5 nA input bias current even with inputs at 44 V above V–.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad micropower op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1491ACS#TRPBF | Rated for 0°C to 70°C only; lower max input offset (700 μV) and higher GBW (200 kHz typical) at room temperature | Limited to commercial-temperature industrial controls and consumer electronics; not suitable for under-hood or outdoor deployments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature requirement and ambient stays within 0°C–70°C |
| OP482ARUZ | Higher quiescent current (125 μA/amplifier), lower input offset (150 μV), but no Over-The-Top® input capability or reverse-battery protection | Requires external protection circuitry for battery-reversal scenarios; unsuitable for high-common-mode (>V+) sensor interfaces | Choose only when ultra-low offset dominates requirements and supply robustness is externally managed |
Compared with LT1491ACS#TRPBF and OP482ARUZ, the LT1491AHS#TRPBF uniquely combines extended temperature rating (–40°C to 125°C), Over-The-Top® input operation, and integrated reverse-battery protection - making it the sole option for ruggedized, single-component high-voltage micropower sensing in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode input voltage range for LT1491AHS#TRPBF?
The LT1491AHS#TRPBF supports an input common-mode voltage range extending from 0.3 V above V– to 44 V above V–, independent of the V+ supply level. This Over-The-Top® capability allows direct interfacing with high-side shunts, battery terminals, and sensors operating at voltages far exceeding the amplifier's own supply rails - a feature confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables for the H-grade device.
Does LT1491AHS#TRPBF require external compensation for driving capacitive loads?
The LT1491AHS#TRPBF is internally compensated for stable operation with ≥200 pF capacitive loads. For larger loads up to 10,000 pF - such as LCD panels or long PCB traces - a 0.22 μF capacitor in series with a 150 Ω resistor must be placed between output and ground. This configuration is explicitly validated in the datasheet's "Typical Applications" and "Applications Information" sections for the LT1491AHS#TRPBF.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LT1491AHS#TRPBF?
The LT1491AHS#TRPBF is guaranteed to operate over the full industrial temperature range of –40°C to 125°C, as confirmed by its part number suffix "HS" (H-grade SO package) and the Electrical Characteristics tables labeled "LT1490AH/LT1491AH". This specification is verified per Note 3 and Note 4 in the datasheet and applies across all key parameters including input offset voltage, supply current, and gain bandwidth.
Can LT1491AHS#TRPBF be used in reverse-battery protection circuits without external components?
Yes. The LT1491AHS#TRPBF provides built-in reverse-battery protection up to –18 V, drawing less than 1 nA supply current under reverse polarity conditions. This eliminates the need for external series diodes or MOSFET-based protection circuits - a capability explicitly documented in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings", "Electrical Characteristics", and "Applications Information" sections for the LT1491AHS#TRPBF.
Is LT1491AHS#TRPBF pin-compatible with other packages of the LT1491A family?
No. The LT1491AHS#TRPBF uses the 14-lead SO (S8) package, which has a different pinout and thermal characteristics than the 16-lead DFN (DHC16) variant (e.g., LT1491AIDHC#TRPBF). While both packages contain four amplifiers with identical electrical functionality, the S8 package includes two NC pins (8 and 16) and connects the exposed pad to V–, whereas the DHC16 exposes V– on the underside metal pad only - making them mechanically and thermally non-interchangeable without PCB redesign.
