Product details
Overview
LT1493CS#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a quad precision operational amplifier optimized for low-power, single-supply operation with 5MHz gain-bandwidth product, 3V/µs slew rate, and 450µA quiescent supply current per amplifier. It features 180µV max input offset voltage, rail-to-rail input capability including ground, and output swing to ground while sinking current - enabling high-accuracy signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the LT1493CS#PBF datasheet, LT1493CS#PBF pinout, LT1493CS#PBF application, or LT1493CS#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 5MHz GBW at 3.3V/5V/±15V supplies, ±20mA minimum output drive, wide 2.5V–36V total supply range, and validated performance across –40°C to 85°C without external trimming.
Technical Context
The LT1493CS#PBF employs a proprietary bipolar input stage enabling precision DC performance (180µV VOS max, 3µV/°C drift) while maintaining high-speed AC response. Its input stage tolerates common-mode voltages 400mV below V– and up to 1.2V below V+, with no phase reversal when inputs exceed rails - critical for sensor front-ends in unregulated power domains.
Internally compensated for unity-gain stability, it delivers 5MHz gain-bandwidth with 3V/µs slew rate across full supply range (2.5V–36V), supporting precision active filters, photodiode transimpedance amplification, and DAC current-to-voltage conversion without external compensation components.

| Slew Rate | 3V/µs typical - supports 100mV step response settling within 1µs at unity gain |
| Input Offset Voltage | 180µV maximum - eliminates need for manual trim in 12-bit DAC interface circuits |
| Supply Current per Amp | 450µA typical - allows four-channel precision amplification on coin-cell batteries for >1 year |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for LT1493CS#PBF?
The LT1493CS#PBF supports a total supply voltage range of 2.5V to 36V. This includes single-supply configurations (e.g., 3.3V, 5V) and dual-supply setups (e.g., ±15V). Absolute maximum rating is 36V between V+ and V– pins; exceeding this risks permanent damage. Operation at 36V is validated across –40°C to 85°C with appropriate thermal management.
Does LT1493CS#PBF require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the LT1493CS#PBF is internally compensated and unity-gain stable. Its 5MHz gain-bandwidth product and phase margin are characterized across all supply voltages (3.3V, 5V, ±15V) and temperatures (–40°C to 85°C). External compensation is unnecessary for standard non-inverting or inverting configurations with gain ≥1, simplifying PCB layout and reducing component count.
Can LT1493CS#PBF drive capacitive loads, and what is the maximum recommended value?
The LT1493CS#PBF can drive capacitive loads up to 100pF with minimal overshoot (<20%) when sourcing or sinking ≤1mA. For heavier loads (e.g., ADC input capacitance), a series resistor (20–100Ω) between the op amp output and the capacitor is recommended to maintain stability. The device's capacitive load handling degrades at higher output currents and supply voltages, as shown in Figure 1492/93 G08 of the datasheet.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of LT1493CS#PBF on a 3.3V single supply?
On a 3.3V single supply (V+ = 3.3V, V– = 0V), the LT1493CS#PBF input common-mode range extends from 0V (ground) to 1.9V (V+ – 1.4V), as specified in the 3.3V Electrical Characteristics table. This allows direct connection of 0–1.8V sensor outputs without level shifting, while maintaining precision performance (VOS ≤ 325µV max over temperature).
How does LT1493CS#PBF perform in comparator applications?
The LT1493CS#PBF can function as a comparator on single 3.3V or 5V supplies, with TTL/CMOS-compatible output levels. However, its 3V/µs slew rate and lack of dedicated comparator architecture result in slower response (e.g., >100ns propagation delay at 20mV overdrive) compared to dedicated comparators. Hysteresis (≥20mV) is recommended to prevent oscillation during slow transitions, though this introduces direction-dependent offset.
