Product details
Overview
LT1494IMS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a single-channel, micropower, precision rail-to-rail input and output operational amplifier with Over-The-Top™ input capability. It delivers 1.5µA max supply current, 375µV max input offset voltage, and operates from 2.2V to 36V supply rails across –40°C to 125°C. It enables high-accuracy signal conditioning in battery-powered remote sensors and portable instrumentation where ultra-low power and wide common-mode range are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LT1494IMS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1494IMS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1494IMS8#TRPBF application, or LT1494IMS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 125°C operation, reverse-battery protection to –18V, rail-to-rail I/O swing, and verified Over-The-Top input functionality above V+ - all in an 8-lead MSOP package.
Technical Context
The LT1494IMS8#TRPBF implements a three-stage architecture: a dual-differential-input stage enabling Over-The-Top operation (inputs up to 36V above V–), a folded-cascode second stage for high open-loop gain (≥100 V/mV), and a rail-to-rail common-emitter output stage supporting ±500µA load current. Its input bias current remains ≤250pA at room temperature and stays below 10nA over full temperature range.
It features internal reverse-battery protection, operates with inputs as low as –0.3V (single-supply) or down to –14.8V (dual-supply), and maintains CMRR ≥72dB and PSRR ≥86dB across its operating temperature range. The device is characterized and guaranteed over –40°C to +125°C (H-grade), with no derating required up to TJ = 150°C.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision micropower op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1672IMS8#TRPBF | 2µA max IS, decompensated (AV ≥ 5), 12kHz GBW, same H-grade temp range | Requires minimum noise-gain ≥5; unsuitable for unity-gain buffers or integrators | Select when higher speed (12kHz vs 2.7kHz) is needed and gain ≥5 is acceptable |
| LT1782IS5#TRMPBF | SOT-23-5 package, 55µA IS, 800µV VOS max, shutdown pin, 200kHz GBW | Higher power, lower precision, smaller footprint; includes enable control | Select when board space is constrained and shutdown functionality is required, accepting higher VOS and IS |
Compared with LT1494IMS8#TRPBF, LT1672IMS8#TRPBF trades bandwidth for lower supply current and fixed-gain stability, while LT1782IS5#TRMPBF sacrifices precision and quiescent current for miniaturization and integrated shutdown - making LT1494IMS8#TRPBF optimal for ultra-low-power, high-accuracy, high-temperature analog front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature specification for LT1494IMS8#TRPBF?
The LT1494IMS8#TRPBF is an H-grade device, guaranteed to meet all electrical specifications over –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Junction temperature may reach 150°C under continuous operation, and thermal design must ensure θJA ≤ 250°C/W for the MS8 package to maintain reliability.
Does LT1494IMS8#TRPBF support true rail-to-rail input operation above the positive supply rail?
Yes - LT1494IMS8#TRPBF implements Over-The-Top™ input architecture, allowing both inputs to operate continuously up to 36V above V–, including voltages exceeding V+. This enables direct high-voltage signal sensing without external level-shifting components.
Can LT1494IMS8#TRPBF be used with a single 3.3V supply?
Yes - LT1494IMS8#TRPBF operates from 2.2V to 36V, and its rail-to-rail input/output stages deliver full dynamic range at 3.3V. Input common-mode range extends from –0.3V to 36V, and output swings within 35mV of each rail, preserving >98% of usable voltage range.
What is the reverse battery protection rating for LT1494IMS8#TRPBF?
LT1494IMS8#TRPBF is rated for reverse battery protection to –18V on the V– pin, with supply current remaining below 100nA (inputs grounded, outputs open). This eliminates the need for external series diodes in 12V/24V battery systems, reducing voltage drop and power loss.
How does LT1494IMS8#TRPBF differ from the LT1494CS8#TRPBF variant?
LT1494IMS8#TRPBF is the H-grade (–40°C to +125°C) version in MSOP-8 packaging, while LT1494CS8#TRPBF is the C-grade (0°C to 70°C) version in SO-8 packaging. Key differences include guaranteed 125°C operation, tighter VOS drift (0.4µV/°C typ), and enhanced PSRR/CMRR specs over temperature for the IMS8 variant.
