Product details
Overview
LT1635CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower rail-to-rail operational amplifier with integrated 200mV precision bandgap reference and reference buffer in an 8-lead SOIC package. It operates from 1.2V single supply or ±5V dual supplies, draws only 130µA supply current, delivers ±20mA output current, and achieves 30ppm/°C reference drift - ideal for battery-powered sensor conditioning and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1635CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1635CS8#PBF pinout, LT1635CS8#PBF application, or LT1635CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its industry-standard LM10 pinout, guaranteed 1.2V operation, rail-to-rail output swing within 15mV of rails (no load), 175kHz gain-bandwidth product, and capability to drive 1000pF capacitive loads without instability.
Technical Context
The LT1635CS8#PBF integrates two independent functional blocks: a rail-to-rail output op amp with phase reversal protection and ground-sensing inputs, and a buffered 200mV reference referenced to V–. The op amp features unity-gain stability with up to 1000pF load capacitance and supports floating-mode operation via shunt gain configuration.
Reference functionality includes 200mV feedback sense voltage (pin 1 to pin 8), 150ppm/mA load regulation, 20ppm/V line regulation, and a reference amplifier gain of 45–90 V/mV - enabling precision voltage regulators, current sources, and battery-level indicators without external components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision micropower op amp and reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1490ACS8#PBF | Dual micropower rail-to-rail op amp (50µA per amp); no integrated reference; 200kHz GBW. | Requires external reference for regulator/current source functions; better for dual-channel signal paths. | Select when dual op amp channels are needed and reference is already available on board. |
| LT1078CN8#PBF | Single micropower precision op amp (17µA); no reference; 70µV max VOS; 85kHz GBW. | Lacks reference buffer and 200mV bandgap - cannot replace LT1635CS8#PBF in shunt regulator or floating-mode circuits. | Select only for ultra-low-offset op amp needs where reference functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with LT1490ACS8#PBF and LT1078CN8#PBF, the LT1635CS8#PBF uniquely combines op amp, reference, and buffer in one SO-8 package with LM10 pin compatibility - enabling single-component solutions for battery monitors, current sources, and low-voltage regulators that alternatives cannot replicate.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating supply voltage for LT1635CS8#PBF?
The LT1635CS8#PBF operates down to 1.2V total supply voltage (V+ to V–) across the industrial temperature range. For proper reference operation over –40°C to 85°C, the minimum supply is 1.3V. At 1.2V, the op amp remains fully functional with ground-sensing inputs and rail-to-rail output, but reference accuracy may degrade outside specified limits. Always verify performance under actual operating conditions using the LT1635CS8#PBF's absolute maximum ratings table.
Does LT1635CS8#PBF support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LT1635CS8#PBF is fully specified for true single-supply operation with V– = 0V and V+ = 5V. Its op amp input common-mode range includes ground, and the output swings to within 15mV of 0V (no load). The 200mV reference is referred to V–, making it inherently compatible with single-ended systems. This allows direct use in 3.3V or 5V microcontroller-based designs without level-shifting circuitry - a core design advantage of the LT1635CS8#PBF.
How is the offset voltage adjusted on LT1635CS8#PBF?
The LT1635CS8#PBF provides offset nulling via the BALANCE pin (Pin 5), which accepts a variable voltage derived from the REFOUT pin (Pin 8). Connecting a potentiometer between REFOUT and ground, with its wiper to BALANCE, enables adjustment from –2mV to +8mV. At room temperature, the typical input offset voltage (0.3–1.3mV) falls within this range, allowing zero-adjustment. This feature is documented in Figure 1 of the LT1635CS8#PBF datasheet and requires no external op amp - a key differentiator versus standard op amps.
Can LT1635CS8#PBF drive capacitive loads?
Yes, the LT1635CS8#PBF is unity-gain stable with capacitive loads up to 1000pF, as confirmed in the Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure G12). This eliminates the need for isolation resistors in ADC driver, filter, or cable-driving applications. However, for loads exceeding 1000pF, external compensation (e.g., series resistor at output) is recommended. The LT1635CS8#PBF's ability to drive such loads directly simplifies layout and improves signal integrity in precision analog front-ends.
What is the function of the REF FB pin on LT1635CS8#PBF?
The REF FB pin (Pin 1) is the feedback input for the internal 200mV bandgap reference amplifier. When connected to REFOUT (Pin 8), it configures the reference in unity-gain buffer mode. When used with external resistors, it enables programmable output voltages (e.g., 2.5V, 3.3V) in series or shunt regulator topologies. Its 200mV nominal sense voltage is factory-trimmed to ±5.5mV initial accuracy - a critical parameter enabling high-precision regulation without external trimming. This functionality is intrinsic to the LT1635CS8#PBF's architecture and not available in standalone op amps.
