Product details
Overview
LT1636IN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier with Over-The-Top® input stage, enabling operation with inputs up to 44V above VEE on supplies as low as 2.7V. It delivers 18mA output drive, 225µV max input offset voltage, 220kHz gain-bandwidth product, and operates across –40°C to 125°C. It is used in battery monitoring, sensor conditioning, and high-side current sensing where input common-mode range exceeds the positive rail.
For engineers reviewing the LT1636IN8#PBF datasheet, LT1636IN8#PBF pinout, LT1636IN8#PBF application, or LT1636IN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 44V-over-VEE input capability, 50µA quiescent current, shutdown function reducing IQ to 4µA, rail-to-rail output swing, and reverse-battery protection to 27V - all in an 8-lead PDIP package.
Technical Context
The LT1636IN8#PBF employs a dual-input-stage architecture (PNP + NPN) enabling continuous high-impedance operation across its full 0V to 44V input common-mode range - independent of VCC. Its Over-The-Top® topology eliminates phase reversal for inputs 5V below VEE or 44V above VEE, and supports single-supply operation down to 2.7V total supply.
Internally compensated for stability into ≥200pF capacitive loads, it drives up to 10,000pF with external 0.22µF/150Ω compensation. Shutdown is activated by pulling SHDN ≥1.2V above VEE, reducing supply current to 4µA and output leakage to <1µA while preserving input bias current <0.1nA even at 44V over-VEE.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 44V total - enables direct interface with 24V industrial rails and 36V automotive systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | 0V to 44V above VEE - supports true high-side sensing (e.g., battery + terminal monitoring) on any supply voltage. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typical - allows multi-year operation on coin cells in portable instrumentation and remote sensors. |
| Output Drive | ±18mA - sufficient to drive 10kΩ loads with rail-to-rail swing and maintain linearity into 4–20mA transmitter circuits. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 220kHz - suitable for DC-coupled signal conditioning, precision current sensing, and slow-loop control feedback paths. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 225µV max (–40°C to 125°C) - ensures ≤1mV error in 4–20mA loop transmitters and battery voltage monitors with 12-bit ADCs. |
| CMRR | 110dB - rejects noise in high-impedance sensor bridges and shunt-based current measurement under noisy supply conditions. |
Pinout & Package
LT1636IN8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body PDIP (N8) package with 0.300-inch width, through-hole mounting, and industry-standard pinout compatible with legacy op amp footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Null (NC) | No internal connection - left unconnected per datasheet; not used for offset nulling in this variant (offset null uses Pins 1 & 8 externally). |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–IN) | Differential input node; accepts signals up to 44V above VEE with no phase reversal or damage. |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input (+IN) | Differential input node; identical Over-The-Top® tolerance as Pin 2, enabling high-side reference sensing. |
| 4 | Negative Supply (V–) | Ground or negative rail connection; substrate reference for internal protection diodes and shutdown logic. |
| 5 | Shutdown (SHDN) | Active-high enable: ≥1.2V above VEE disables output (high-Z) and reduces IQ to 4µA. |
| 6 | Output (OUT) | Rail-to-rail sourcing/sinking output capable of ±18mA; drives 10,000pF with external compensation network. |
| 7 | Positive Supply (V+) | Positive rail input; reverse-battery protected to 27V - draws <1nA if V+ is forced negative relative to V–. |
| 8 | Null (NC) | No internal connection - used only as second terminal for external 10kΩ offset-null potentiometer (wiper to V–). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Over-The-Top® Input Stage | Enables reliable high-side sensing without external level shifters - inputs operate 44V above VEE regardless of VCC, eliminating design risk in battery + monitoring. |
| Micropower Shutdown Mode | Reduces supply current to 4µA and output leakage to <1µA while maintaining input bias <0.1nA - ideal for wake-on-event sensor nodes. |
| Rail-to-Rail Input & Output | Full dynamic range utilization on 3V, 5V, or ±15V supplies - maximizes ADC resolution in low-voltage portable systems. |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Draws <1nA at –27V reverse supply - prevents system damage during field-replaceable battery insertion errors. |
| Capacitive Load Drive | Stable into 10,000pF with optional 0.22µF/150Ω compensation - supports long-line transmission and EMI-filtered sensor interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1637IN8#PBF | Higher precision: 75µV max VOS, 1.5µV/°C drift, but 100µA IQ; same Over-The-Top® architecture and pinout. | Used where offset drift dominates error budget (e.g., precision thermocouple amplifiers), not ultra-low-power nodes. | Select LT1637IN8#PBF when VOS drift <1µV/°C is required and 2× quiescent current is acceptable. |
| ADA4522-1ARZ | Zero-drift architecture: 5µV max VOS, 0.005µV/°C drift, but 1.2mA IQ; no Over-The-Top® input - max VCM = V+ – 1.2V. | Used in high-accuracy DC-coupled instrumentation where input common-mode stays within rails (e.g., strain gauge bridges). | Select ADA4522-1ARZ only when input common-mode never exceeds V+ – 1.2V and sub-µV offset stability is critical. |
Compared with LT1636IN8#PBF, LT1637IN8#PBF trades 2× quiescent current for 3× lower offset drift, while ADA4522-1ARZ abandons Over-The-Top® capability entirely to achieve near-zero drift - making LT1636IN8#PBF uniquely suited for high-side sensing in battery-constrained systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input common-mode voltage for LT1636IN8#PBF?
The LT1636IN8#PBF supports an input common-mode voltage range extending up to 44V above VEE, independent of VCC. This Over-The-Top® capability allows direct connection to high-side nodes such as battery positive terminals or 24V bus lines without external level-shifting circuitry. The specification is guaranteed across the full –40°C to 125°C operating temperature range.
Does LT1636IN8#PBF support rail-to-rail output swing?
Yes, LT1636IN8#PBF provides true rail-to-rail output swing: on a 5V supply, it delivers 4.95V high and 10mV low with no load, and sustains ≥4.3V high and ≤875mV low while sourcing/sinking 10mA. This enables full utilization of ADC input ranges and simplifies interface design in low-voltage systems.
How does the shutdown function work on LT1636IN8#PBF?
The LT1636IN8#PBF shutdown pin (Pin 5) activates when pulled ≥1.2V above VEE, placing the output in high-impedance state and reducing quiescent current from 50µA to 4µA. Output leakage remains <1µA, and input bias current stays <0.1nA - preserving accuracy in high-impedance sensor networks during sleep mode.
Can LT1636IN8#PBF drive large capacitive loads?
Yes, LT1636IN8#PBF is internally compensated for ≥200pF and can drive up to 10,000pF using an external 0.22µF capacitor in series with a 150Ω resistor from output to ground. This configuration maintains stability across temperature and load variations, supporting EMI filtering and long-cable sensor interfaces without oscillation.
What is the reverse battery protection rating for LT1636IN8#PBF?
LT1636IN8#PBF provides reverse battery protection up to –27V on the V+ pin, drawing less than 1nA supply current under fault conditions. This protects downstream circuitry during incorrect battery installation in field-deployed equipment such as portable test instruments and remote monitoring nodes.
