Product details
Overview
LT1491IS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a quad micropower rail-to-rail input and output operational amplifier optimized for single-supply battery-powered systems. It delivers 50 µA/amplifier quiescent current, ±20 mA output drive, rail-to-rail I/O swing on supplies from 2 V to 44 V total, and reverse battery protection up to 18 V - enabling use in portable instrumentation, battery monitoring, and 4 mA–20 mA transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1491IS#TRPBF datasheet, LT1491IS#TRPBF pinout, LT1491IS#TRPBF application, or LT1491IS#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed application roles, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts - all grounded in the official Linear Technology/LTC datasheet revision B.
Technical Context
The LT1491IS#TRPBF employs a dual-input-stage architecture (NPN + PNP) enabling operation with inputs up to 44 V above V– and 0.3 V above V+, while maintaining high-impedance behavior across its full common-mode range (–0.4 V to 44 V). Its unique input stage eliminates phase reversal for inputs 22 V below V– or 44 V above V–, independent of V+.
Internally compensated for unity-gain stability, it drives ≥200 pF capacitive loads natively and supports optional 0.22 µF + 150 Ω compensation to drive up to 10,000 pF. Output stage delivers 20 mA sourcing/sinking capability with rail-to-rail swing - e.g., 22 mV low and 4.95 V high on 5 V supply - and features built-in reverse-battery protection drawing <1 nA at –18 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 44 V total (supports single 3 V/5 V or split ±15 V rails - enables direct integration into wide-input industrial sensors) |
| Quiescent Current | 50 µA per amplifier max (enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT nodes with four active channels) |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.4 V to 44 V (accepts signals beyond rails - critical for high-side current sensing without level-shifting) |
| Output Drive Capability | ±20 mA (drives 10 kΩ load to rails and directly interfaces with ADC reference buffers or LED drivers) |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 200 kHz (supports precision DC–20 kHz signal conditioning in sensor front-ends with stable closed-loop gain) |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1.75 mV max (–40°C to 85°C, SO package) - sets baseline error floor for 12-bit measurement accuracy at room temperature) |
| CMRR | 98 dB (rejects noise in noisy industrial environments - e.g., suppresses 1 V common-mode ripple to <120 µV error) |
| Reverse Battery Protection | 18 V (survives accidental battery reversal in automotive or portable equipment without external diodes) |
Pinout & Package
LT1491IS#TRPBF is housed in a 14-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package, 150 mil width, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and gull-wing leads. Thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Amplifier A output - rail-to-rail capable; sinks/source up to 20 mA; requires 0.01 µF bypass near pin for stability |
| 2 | –IN A | Inverting input of Amp A - high-Z (≥6 MΩ), accepts voltages up to 44 V above V–, no clamping diodes |
| 3 | +IN A | Non-inverting input of Amp A - identical voltage range and protection as –IN A |
| 4 | V+ | Positive supply rail - must be bypassed with 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor within 25 mm; supports up to 44 V |
| 5 | +IN B | Non-inverting input of Amp B - electrically isolated from other amps; shares same input specs as Pin 3 |
| 6 | –IN B | Inverting input of Amp B - matches Pin 2 performance; enables independent differential sensing per channel |
| 7 | OUT B | Amplifier B output - fully independent; same drive strength and rail-swing as Pin 1 |
| 8 | OUT D | Amplifier D output - fourth channel; identical AC/DC specs; allows multi-channel signal routing without external multiplexing |
| 9 | –IN D | Inverting input of Amp D - supports simultaneous 4-channel analog acquisition (e.g., quad thermocouple inputs) |
| 10 | +IN D | Non-inverting input of Amp D - enables true differential measurements across all four amplifiers |
| 11 | V– | Negative supply rail - tied to ground in single-supply configs; internal substrate diode limits safe pull-down to >0.5 V below V– |
| 12 | +IN C | Non-inverting input of Amp C - completes quad configuration; pin-compatible with industry-standard quad op amp layouts |
| 13 | –IN C | Inverting input of Amp C - supports independent feedback networks per channel |
| 14 | OUT C | Amplifier C output - fourth output; enables full 4× buffer, filter, or gain stage without inter-chip routing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Micropower operation (50 µA/amp) | Reduces system power budget by >70% vs. standard rail-to-rail op amps - critical for energy-harvesting designs |
| Reverse battery protection (18 V) | Eliminates need for external series diode - preserves supply headroom and avoids 0.3–0.7 V dropout in portable devices |
| No phase reversal over full input range | Prevents catastrophic output latch-up during power-up sequencing or fault conditions - improves system reliability |
| Drives 10,000 pF with optional compensation | Supports long PCB traces, LCD bias networks, or capacitive touch sensors without external isolation components |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad micropower rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1491AIS#TRPBF | Improved input offset voltage (500 µV max vs. 1.75 mV), lower drift (3 µV/°C vs. 4 µV/°C), same pinout and package | Higher DC precision required - e.g., medical-grade sensor calibration or precision reference buffering | Select when VOS-critical applications demand guaranteed sub-millivolt error across temperature |
| TLV2474IDR | Lower quiescent current (600 nA/amp), but reduced output drive (30 mA), narrower supply range (2.7–6 V), no reverse-battery protection | Ultra-low-power, low-voltage only - e.g., sub-3 V energy-harvesting nodes where 44 V tolerance is unnecessary | Choose only for battery-limited sub-3 V systems; not suitable for industrial 12–24 V or reverse-polarity environments |
Compared with LT1491AIS#TRPBF, the LT1491IS#TRPBF trades higher VOS for proven legacy robustness in high-voltage industrial settings; versus TLV2474IDR, it sacrifices nanoamp quiescent current to deliver 44 V operation, 18 V reverse protection, and 20 mA drive - making it uniquely suited for ruggedized portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage the LT1491IS#TRPBF can withstand?
The LT1491IS#TRPBF supports a total supply voltage (V+ to V–) of up to 44 V. This allows operation on single supplies such as 5 V, 12 V, 24 V, or 36 V, as well as split supplies like ±15 V. Absolute maximum ratings confirm junction temperature remains safe up to 150°C under these conditions, provided thermal design accounts for θJA = 150°C/W in the SO package.
Does the LT1491IS#TRPBF require external compensation for driving capacitive loads?
The LT1491IS#TRPBF is internally compensated and drives ≥200 pF capacitively without external components. For loads exceeding 200 pF - such as long cables or LCD bias networks - optional compensation using a 0.22 µF capacitor in series with a 150 Ω resistor from output to ground enables stable operation up to 10,000 pF, as verified in the official datasheet Figure 21.
Can the LT1491IS#TRPBF operate with input voltages beyond the supply rails?
Yes - the LT1491IS#TRPBF inputs tolerate voltages up to 44 V above V– and up to 0.3 V above V+, even when operating on a 3 V supply. This is enabled by its dual NPN/PNP input stage and internal Schottky clamping. Inputs also withstand faults down to 22 V below V– thanks to integrated 1 kΩ series resistors and negative-rail diodes.
What is the guaranteed input offset voltage specification for LT1491IS#TRPBF over temperature?
For the LT1491IS#TRPBF in the SO package (S grade), the input offset voltage is guaranteed at 1.75 mV maximum over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. At 25°C, typical VOS is 1.45 mV, and drift is specified at 4 µV/°C - values confirmed in Electrical Characteristics Table 3 of the datasheet.
Is the LT1491IS#TRPBF pin-compatible with other quad op amps in SO-14 packages?
Yes - the LT1491IS#TRPBF uses the industry-standard SO-14 (150 mil) pinout defined in JEDEC MS-012AC. Its pin assignments match conventional quad op amp layouts: OUT A, –IN A, +IN A, V+, +IN B, –IN B, OUT B, OUT D, –IN D, +IN D, V–, +IN C, –IN C, OUT C. No PCB redesign is needed when replacing functionally similar SO-14 quad op amps.
