Product details
Overview
LT1637CN8#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 V– and ≥3V above V+. It delivers 25mA output drive, 1.1MHz gain-bandwidth, 0.4V/µs slew rate, and shutdown capability reducing quiescent current to 3µA. It is specified for –40°C to 85°C and housed in an 8-lead PDIP package - ideal for battery-powered sensor conditioning and high-side current sensing.
For engineers reviewing the LT1637CN8#PBF datasheet, LT1637CN8#PBF pinout, LT1637CN8#PBF application, or LT1637CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its reverse supply protection to 25V, input common-mode range extending beyond V+, rail-to-rail output swing into 25mA loads, and guaranteed performance on 3V, 5V, and ±15V supplies without external compensation for ≤200pF loads.
Technical Context
The LT1637CN8#PBF employs a dual-input-stage architecture (NPN + PNP) enabling seamless operation across its full 0V to 44V input common-mode range relative to V–, including voltages exceeding V+ by ≥3V. Its Over-The-Top® topology eliminates phase reversal for inputs up to 5V below V– or 44V above V–, independent of VCC.
Internal compensation ensures stability driving ≥200pF capacitive loads; optional 0.22µF + 150Ω output network extends stable operation to 4700pF. Shutdown is activated by pulling SHDN ≥1.2V above V–, forcing output into high-impedance state and reducing supply current to 3µA while maintaining <0.1nA input bias current even under extreme common-mode conditions.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage range supported by the LT1637CN8#PBF relative to V–?
The LT1637CN8#PBF supports an input common-mode voltage range from –0.4V to 44V relative to V–, including operation with inputs up to 44V above V– and ≥3V above V+. This Over-The-Top® capability is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables for the N8 package, enabling direct high-side sensing without level-shifting circuitry in the LT1637CN8#PBF.
Does the LT1637CN8#PBF require external compensation for driving capacitive loads?
The LT1637CN8#PBF is internally compensated and stable driving ≥200pF capacitive loads under all output conditions. For loads >200pF up to 4700pF, optional external compensation using a 0.22µF capacitor in series with a 150Ω resistor between OUT and GND is required - a configuration explicitly validated in the LT1637CN8#PBF datasheet's Typical Applications and Electrical Characteristics sections.
What is the shutdown behavior of the LT1637CN8#PBF, and how does it affect output impedance?
When the SHDN pin is driven ≥1.2V above V–, the LT1637CN8#PBF enters shutdown mode: supply current drops to 3µA, output leakage current falls below 1µA, and the output transitions to a high-impedance state. This behavior is measured and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for the LT1637CN8#PBF across temperature, confirming true tri-state output functionality for multiplexed or shared-bus applications.
Can the LT1637CN8#PBF operate with a single 3V supply, and what are its rail-to-rail performance limits?
Yes, the LT1637CN8#PBF is fully specified for 3V single-supply operation. Its rail-to-rail input accepts signals from –0.4V to 44V relative to V–, and its output swings to within 3mV of V– and 60mV of V+ at 5mA load - verified in the 3V Electrical Characteristics table. These values are guaranteed for the LT1637CN8#PBF in the N8 package over –40°C to 85°C.
How does the LT1637CN8#PBF handle reverse supply conditions, and what is the leakage current?
The LT1637CN8#PBF features reverse supply protection up to 25V, drawing less than 1nA typical supply current under reverse-battery conditions (V+ < V–). This specification is explicitly listed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reverse Supply Voltage" - a key differentiator enabling robust deployment in automotive and battery-powered systems where polarity reversal is possible.
