Product details
Overview
LT1635CN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower rail-to-rail operational amplifier with integrated 200mV precision bandgap reference and reference buffer, operating from 1.2V single supply or ±5V dual supplies. It delivers 130µA supply current, 175kHz gain bandwidth, rail-to-rail output swing within 15mV of rails (no load), and 30ppm/°C reference drift - used in battery-powered sensor conditioning and low-voltage precision regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1635CN8#PBF datasheet, LT1635CN8#PBF pinout, LT1635CN8#PBF application, or LT1635CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its industry-standard LM10 pinout, guaranteed operation at 1.2V, combined op amp + reference functionality on one die, and capability for floating-mode shunt regulator configurations.
Technical Context
The LT1635CN8#PBF integrates two independent functional blocks: a rail-to-rail output op amp with phase reversal protection and ground-sensing input stage, and a buffered 200mV bandgap reference referenced to V–. The op amp features unity-gain stability with up to 1000pF capacitive load and 20mA min output drive capability.
The reference block includes a dedicated feedback sense pin (REF FB, Pin 1) and output pin (REFOUT, Pin 8), enabling programmable voltage references via external resistor dividers. Its drift (30ppm/°C typ), line regulation (20ppm/V), and load regulation (150ppm/mA) are specified over –40°C to 85°C for the I-grade; the C-grade (LT1635CN8#PBF) is rated 0°C to 70°C with tighter initial accuracy.

| 3 (IN+) | Non-inverting op amp input | Common-mode range includes V–; enables true single-supply sensor interfacing |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply rail | Reference point for 200mV bandgap; must be stable for reference accuracy |
| 5 (BALANCE) | Offset null adjustment | Accepts variable voltage (e.g., from REFOUT) to trim input offset to zero |
| 6 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Bypass with 0.1µF capacitor; supports operation as low as 1.2V above V– |
| 7 (OUT) | Op amp output | Rail-to-rail swing: within 15mV of rails (no load); drives 10mA with <250mV drop |
| 8 (REFOUT) | Reference output | 200mV buffered output; sinks up to 10µA, sources up to 2mA over temperature |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision micropower op amp + reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1490ACS8#PBF | Dual micropower RRIO op amp (50µA/ch); no integrated reference; SO-8 package | Requires external reference IC for reference-dependent circuits; better for dual-channel signal paths | Select when dual op amps are needed and reference is already available on board |

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for LT1635CN8#PBF to operate fully across its specified temperature range?
The LT1635CN8#PBF operates from a minimum total supply voltage of 1.2V, guaranteed over the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). For full reference functionality-including stable 200mV output and specified drift-the minimum supply is 1.3V. Below this, the reference may not regulate correctly, though the op amp remains functional down to 1.2V per the datasheet absolute minimum rating.
Can LT1635CN8#PBF be used in floating (high-side) shunt regulator configurations?
Yes, the LT1635CN8#PBF supports floating-mode operation as documented in the datasheet. By connecting the op amp output (Pin 7) to V+ and referencing the input to V–, it functions as a high-side current regulator. This configuration leverages the "shunt gain" parameter (15–25 V/mV) and enables precise current sourcing without ground-referenced sensing limitations.
What is the purpose of the BALANCE pin (Pin 5) on LT1635CN8#PBF?
The BALANCE pin (Pin 5) on LT1635CN8#PBF provides offset nulling capability. Applying a variable voltage-typically derived from the 200mV REFOUT (Pin 8)-adjusts the op amp's input offset voltage across an asymmetrical range of –2mV to +8mV. At room temperature, the typical 0.3mV offset falls within this window, allowing zero-adjustment for DC-critical applications like precision current sensing.
Does LT1635CN8#PBF require external capacitors for stability?
Yes, the LT1635CN8#PBF requires a 0.1µF bypass capacitor on the V+ pin (Pin 6) to ensure stability and low-noise operation. When used with split supplies, a similar capacitor is recommended on V– (Pin 4). The op amp is unity-gain stable with up to 1000pF capacitive load, but larger loads may require series isolation resistance per Figure 12 in the datasheet.
How does the reference section of LT1635CN8#PBF differ from standalone voltage references?
The LT1635CN8#PBF reference section integrates a 200mV bandgap core referenced to V–, plus a dedicated buffer amplifier. Unlike most standalone references, it lacks a fixed output voltage - instead, it provides a programmable 200mV feedback node (Pin 1) and buffered output (Pin 8), enabling flexible resistor-divider configurations for 0.2V to >10V outputs. Its 30ppm/°C drift and 150ppm/mA load regulation are optimized for on-die co-location with the op amp.
