Product details
Overview
LT1637IN8#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–, even on 3V supplies. It delivers 1.1MHz gain-bandwidth, 0.4V/µs slew rate, ±25mA output drive, and shutdown capability reducing quiescent current to 3µA - ideal for battery-powered sensor conditioning and supply current sensing in industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1637IN8#PBF datasheet, LT1637IN8#PBF pinout, LT1637IN8#PBF application, or LT1637IN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its reverse-battery protection (25V), input common-mode range extending beyond V+, rail-to-rail output swing into 25mA loads, and guaranteed –40°C to 85°C operation in the 8-lead PDIP package.
Technical Context
The LT1637IN8#PBF employs a dual-input-stage architecture (NPN + PNP) enabling seamless operation across –0.4V to 44V input common-mode voltage, including voltages exceeding V+. Its Over-The-Top® topology eliminates phase reversal for inputs up to 5V below VEE or 44V above VEE, independent of VCC.
Internal compensation supports stable unity-gain operation into capacitive loads up to 4700pF when using optional 0.22µF + 150Ω output compensation. Shutdown is activated by pulling the SHDN pin ≥1.2V above V–, forcing output high-impedance and reducing supply current to ≤3µA while maintaining <0.1nA input bias current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 44V - supports single-supply operation down to 3V and high-voltage industrial rails. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1.1MHz - enables stable closed-loop gain up to ~100 at 10kHz for precision signal conditioning. |
| Slew Rate | 0.4V/µs - sufficient for 10kHz full-scale sine wave output at 2.5Vpp without distortion. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 350µV max (–40°C to 85°C) - ensures ≤1.75mV error in 5V full-scale 12-bit systems. |
| Output Drive Current | ±25mA min - directly drives 200Ω loads or 4–20mA transmitter circuits without external buffers. |
| Quiescent Current | 250µA max (active), 3µA max (shutdown) - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.4V to 44V - allows direct sensing of high-side currents or battery voltages above V+. |
| CMRR | 110dB - rejects >100k:1 common-mode interference in noisy industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
The LT1637IN8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) with 0.300" body width and standard through-hole footprint. Thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W enables operation at full rating without heatsinking below 50°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NULL) | No-connect terminal | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practice. |
| 2 (–IN) | Inverting input | Differential input node; accepts common-mode voltages up to 44V above V–. |

| 6 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable; sources/sinks ≥25mA; drives 4700pF with external compensation. |
| 7 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts up to 44V total supply; bypass with 0.01µF ceramic + 4.7µF electrolytic for heavy loads. |
| 8 (NULL) | No-connect terminal | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Over-The-Top® Input Stage | Enables input operation up to 44V above V– on 3V supplies - critical for high-side current sensing without level-shifting. |
| Rail-to-Rail Input & Output | Full dynamic range utilization: inputs accept V– to V+, outputs swing within 3mV of rails at light loads - maximizes ADC resolution. |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Draws <1nA at –25V supply - prevents damage and system reset during field-reverse battery insertion. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1490AIN8#PBF | Lower GBW (120kHz), no shutdown, wider VOS (1.5mV max), same Over-The-Top® input range. | Not suitable for bandwidth-critical current sensing; better for ultra-low-power comparator use without shutdown. | Select when shutdown and 1.1MHz bandwidth are unnecessary and cost is primary constraint. |
| ADA4091-2ARZ | Higher VOS (1.25mV max), lower drive (±10mA), no Over-The-Top® input (limited to V+ – 0.1V), includes rail-to-rail I/O. | Cannot sense above V+; requires level-shifting for high-side current monitoring above supply rail. | Select only for low-voltage (≤5.5V) applications where input voltage never exceeds V+. |
Compared with LT1490AIN8#PBF and ADA4091-2ARZ, the LT1637IN8#PBF uniquely combines shutdown, 1.1MHz bandwidth, ±25mA drive, and true Over-The-Top® input operation - making it the only option for high-voltage, low-power, rail-exceeding sensing in space-constrained PDIP layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage range supported by the LT1637IN8#PBF?
The LT1637IN8#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– regardless of V+ level - a defining feature of its Over-The-Top® architecture. This is verified across –40°C to 85°C for the LT1637I grade and confirmed in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
Does the LT1637IN8#PBF require external compensation for driving capacitive loads?
The LT1637IN8#PBF is internally compensated for loads up to 200pF. For capacitive loads exceeding 200pF (up to 4700pF), external compensation using a 0.22µF capacitor in series with a 150Ω resistor from OUT to GND is required - as specified in the Applications Information section and validated in Typical Performance Characteristic Figure 1637 G20.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the LT1637IN8#PBF?
The LT1637IN8#PBF is the Industrial-grade variant, guaranteed to operate from –40°C to +85°C across all electrical specifications. This is explicitly defined in the Ordering Information table and reinforced in Note 3 and Note 4 of the datasheet, distinguishing it from Commercial (C), High-Temp (H), and Military-Grade (MP) variants.
How does shutdown functionality work on the LT1637IN8#PBF?
Shutdown on the LT1637IN8#PBF is activated by raising the SHDN pin (Pin 5) to ≥1.2V above V–, reducing quiescent current to ≤3µA and placing the output in high-impedance state. The shutdown pin tolerates voltages up to 32V above V– and draws <15nA at 0.3V above V– - details confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics tables for LT1637I.
Can the LT1637IN8#PBF be used in single-supply 3V applications?
Yes - the LT1637IN8#PBF is fully specified and characterized for 3V single-supply operation (V+ = 3V, V– = 0V), with guaranteed parameters including 350µV max input offset voltage, 1.1MHz GBW, and rail-to-rail input/output swing. All key specs in the 3V column of the Electrical Characteristics tables apply to the LT1637IN8#PBF.
