Product details
Overview
LT1637CS8#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 below V+, ±15V or single 3V–44V supply support, 1.1MHz gain-bandwidth, 0.4V/µs slew rate, and shutdown capability reducing quiescent current to 3µA. It drives 25mA loads and operates across –40°C to 85°C in industrial sensor conditioning and battery monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LT1637CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1637CS8#PBF pinout, LT1637CS8#PBF application, or LT1637CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range beyond rails, reverse supply protection to 25V, shutdown leakage <1µA, rail-to-rail output swing into 25mA, and stability with 4700pF capacitive load using optional compensation.
Technical Context
The LT1637CS8#PBF integrates dual-input-stage architecture (NPN/PNP) enabling seamless operation across –0.4V to 44V common-mode range relative to V–, with no phase reversal for inputs 5V below V– or 44V above V–. Its Over-The-Top® input stage remains high-impedance even when inputs exceed V+.
Internal compensation ensures unity-gain stability into ≥200pF; optional 0.22µF + 150Ω network extends stable capacitive load drive to 4700pF. Shutdown control via SHDN pin (pin 5) reduces supply current to 3µA while maintaining high-impedance output and sub-nA input bias current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 44V - supports wide-range single-supply (e.g., 3V battery, 24V industrial bus) or split-supply (±15V) operation without derating. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1.1MHz - enables stable closed-loop gain ≥10 at 100kHz for precision signal conditioning in sensor front-ends. |
| Slew Rate | 0.4V/µs - sufficient for 10kHz full-scale sine wave output at 4Vpp without distortion in low-power transmitters. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 350µV max (–40°C to 85°C) - ensures ≤0.7mV error in 20-bit 5V ADC reference buffers or current-sense amplifiers. |
| Output Drive Current | 25mA min - directly interfaces with 4–20mA transmitter loads, LED drivers, or multiplexer output stages without external buffers. |
| Shutdown Current | 3µA max - extends battery life in portable instrumentation by >98% versus active mode (250µA). |
| Reverse Supply Protection | 25V - eliminates need for external diode in automotive or solar-battery systems subject to polarity reversal. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.4V to 44V (vs V–) - enables direct sensing of 44V battery stacks or industrial 24V supply rails without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
LT1637CS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO package (S8), 5.0mm × 4.0mm × 1.5mm body, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, with exposed pad not connected internally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Null / Not Connected | No internal connection; left unconnected or used for offset nulling (with external 10k pot to V–). |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–IN) | Differential input node; accepts voltages from –0.4V to 44V relative to V–; protected to –22V below V–. |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input (+IN) | Differential input node; identical voltage range and protection as –IN; enables Over-The-Top® operation above V+. |
| 4 | Negative Supply (V–) | Ground or negative rail return; substrate diode to output requires current limiting if output driven below V–. |
| 5 | Shutdown (SHDN) | Active-high enable; ≥1.2V above V– activates op amp; ≤0.3V above V– places device in shutdown (3µA IQ). |
| 6 | Output (OUT) | Rail-to-rail output capable of sourcing/sinking 25mA; high-impedance in shutdown; drives 4700pF with external RC compensation. |
| 7 | Positive Supply (V+) | Positive rail input; bypass with 0.01µF ceramic capacitor within 25mm; reverse-protected to 25V. |
| 8 | Null / Not Connected | No internal connection; unused pin; may be grounded for EMI reduction but not required. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1490ACS8#PBF | Lower GBW (175kHz), higher IQ (450µA), no shutdown, same Over-The-Top® input range. | Lacks shutdown; unsuitable for battery-powered intermittent sensing; better for always-on low-frequency precision. | Select when ultra-low offset (125µV max) is critical and shutdown is unnecessary. |
| ADA4077-2ARZ | Higher precision (15µV VOS), lower noise (7.9nV/√Hz), but narrower input range (±13.5V), no Over-The-Top®, no shutdown. | Cannot sense above V+ or handle 44V CM range; requires dual supply; suited for lab-grade instrumentation only. | Select for high-accuracy DC-coupled measurement where input voltage stays within rails and power is not constrained. |
Compared with LT1490ACS8#PBF and ADA4077-2ARZ, the LT1637CS8#PBF uniquely combines micropower shutdown, Over-The-Top® input operation, and 25mA output drive-making it the only choice for battery-powered high-voltage sensing and 4–20mA loop transmission in space-constrained industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage range supported by the LT1637CS8#PBF relative to V–?
The LT1637CS8#PBF supports an input common-mode voltage range from –0.4V to 44V relative to V–, verified across –40°C to 85°C. This enables direct sensing of 44V battery stacks or 24V industrial rails without attenuation. The Over-The-Top® architecture ensures functionality even when inputs exceed V+, with no phase reversal up to 44V above V–.
Can the LT1637CS8#PBF drive a 4700pF capacitive load stably?
Yes, the LT1637CS8#PBF can drive up to 4700pF stably when configured with the recommended external compensation network: a 0.22µF capacitor in series with a 150Ω resistor connected between OUT and ground. Without this network, the device is internally compensated for ≥200pF. This capability supports long-cable interfaces and LCD bias applications without oscillation.
What is the shutdown current consumption of the LT1637CS8#PBF, and how is shutdown activated?
The LT1637CS8#PBF draws ≤3µA quiescent current in shutdown mode. Shutdown is activated by pulling the SHDN pin (pin 5) to ≥1.2V above V–; deactivation occurs when SHDN falls ≤0.3V above V–. During shutdown, output becomes high-impedance and input bias current drops below 0.1nA - critical for preserving battery charge in portable LT1637CS8#PBF-based systems.
Does the LT1637CS8#PBF require external components for basic operation, and what are the mandatory bypass requirements?
Yes, the LT1637CS8#PBF requires a 0.01µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 25mm of the V+ pin to ensure stability. For heavy-load operation (>10mA), an additional 4.7µF electrolytic capacitor is recommended. No external compensation is needed for loads ≤200pF; the 0.22µF + 150Ω network is optional and only required for >200pF capacitive loads.
How does the LT1637CS8#PBF achieve reverse supply protection, and what is its rating?
The LT1637CS8#PBF incorporates internal circuitry that limits supply current to <1nA when subjected to reverse supply voltages up to –25V, verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings. This eliminates the need for external reverse-polarity protection diodes in automotive, solar, or battery-powered systems - reducing board area, forward voltage drop, and thermal dissipation.
