Product details
Overview
LT1496HS#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a quad-channel, micropower, precision rail-to-rail input and output operational amplifier with Over-The-Top™ input capability enabling operation up to 36V total supply and inputs exceeding V+. It delivers ≤1.5µA per amplifier supply current, 375µV max input offset voltage, and operates across –40°C to +125°C - ideal for high-reliability battery-powered sensor front-ends and industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1496HS#PBF datasheet, LT1496HS#PBF pinout, LT1496HS#PBF application, or LT1496HS#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (14-pin SO), confirmed rail-to-rail I/O behavior, Over-The-Top input specification, thermal performance at 125°C, and direct alternative options for low-power precision amplification in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The LT1496HS#PBF implements a three-stage architecture: a rail-to-rail input stage with dual differential pairs (NPN/PNP) enabling Over-The-Top operation above V+, a folded cascode second stage delivering 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 rises to ≤3.8nA at 125°C.
It achieves 90dB PSRR and CMRR over 0.5V–10V common-mode range at 5V supply, supports single-supply operation down to 2.2V, and maintains stable micropower operation during power-up - critical for energy-constrained remote sensing nodes where supply current must remain predictable under all start-up conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current per Amp | ≤1.5 µA at 25°C; ≤5 µA max over –40°C to 125°C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤375 µV max at 25°C (5V supply); ≤875 µV max over full –40°C to 125°C range - ensures <0.1% gain error in 12-bit precision signal chains. |
| Input Bias Current | ≤250 pA at 25°C; ≤3.8 nA at 125°C - permits use of >1MΩ source impedances without significant DC error. |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O | Input common-mode extends to –0.3V below V– and ≥36V above V–; output swings within 35mV of rails at light load - eliminates level-shifting in single-supply systems. |
| Over-The-Top Input | Inputs operate ≥0.5V above V+ at 125°C - allows direct interface to high-side voltage monitors or battery stack sensors without external clamping. |
| Open-Loop Gain | ≥100 V/mV (min) driving 100kΩ load - guarantees <0.01% closed-loop gain error at unity gain with 100kΩ feedback. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and downhole instrumentation applications. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1496IS#PBF | Same architecture and pinout; rated for –40°C to +85°C only; lower VOS max (475µV vs 875µV) at 25°C. | Suitable for commercial-grade portable instruments but not under-hood or industrial control cabinets. | Select when ambient temperature stays ≤85°C and tighter initial offset is prioritized over extended temp qualification. |
| LT1674CS#PBF | 2µA max supply current; decompensated (AV ≥ 5 required); 12kHz GBW vs LT1496's 2.7kHz; 550µV VOS max. | Better for AC-coupled, higher-speed micropower apps (e.g., audio preamp), but requires external compensation and lacks Over-The-Top. | Choose when bandwidth >2kHz is needed and Over-The-Top operation is unnecessary; verify stability with gain-setting resistors. |
Compared with LT1496IS#PBF, the LT1496HS#PBF trades slightly higher offset voltage for guaranteed 125°C operation and Over-The-Top robustness; versus LT1674CS#PBF, it sacrifices bandwidth and gain flexibility to deliver true rail-to-rail I/O and sub-2µA quiescent current without external compensation.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the LT1496HS#PBF?
The LT1496HS#PBF has a total supply voltage rating of 36V (V+ to V–). Absolute maximum ratings specify differential input voltage up to 36V and continuous output short-circuit duration. Operation is characterized from 2.2V to ±15V supplies, with guaranteed performance across its full 36V range.
Does the LT1496HS#PBF support true rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes - the LT1496HS#PBF supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range from 0.2V below V– to at least 36V above V–, including operation above V+ (Over-The-Top™). At 25°C, inputs function up to V+ + 0.5V; at 125°C, minimum Over-The-Top margin is 0.5V above V+ per datasheet Section "LT1494H/LT1495H/LT1496H ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS".
Can the LT1496HS#PBF be used in single-supply configurations?
Yes - the LT1496HS#PBF is explicitly designed for single-supply operation down to 2.2V. Its input common-mode range extends to –0.3V (below ground) and up to 36V, and its output swings within 35mV of both rails at light load, making it ideal for 3.3V or 5V systems without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the guaranteed input offset voltage drift over temperature for the LT1496HS#PBF?
The LT1496HS#PBF has a guaranteed input offset voltage drift of ≤2 µV/°C over the full –40°C to +125°C range (typical 0.4 µV/°C). This value is specified in the "LT1494H/LT1495H/LT1496H ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table under parameter VOS TC, with "G" denoting –40°C ≤ TA ≤ 125°C applicability.
Is the LT1496HS#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LT149x family?
Yes - the LT1496HS#PBF uses the standard 14-pin SO (S package) quad op amp pinout shared with LT1496CN, LT1496IN, and LT1496CS variants. All LT1496 versions share identical pin functions and electrical connections; only temperature grade and packaging differ between part numbers.
