Product details
Overview
LT1672CMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a single-channel, ultralow-power, precision rail-to-rail input and output operational amplifier with Over-The-Top™ input capability. It delivers 2µA max supply current per amplifier, 375µV max input offset voltage, 12kHz gain bandwidth product, and operates from 2.2V to 36V supplies - enabling use in battery-powered sensor front-ends and high-impedance signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LT1672CMS8#PBF datasheet, LT1672CMS8#PBF pinout, LT1672CMS8#PBF application, or LT1672CMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include micropower operation under 2.5µA, input voltage range extending 0.3V below V– and above V+, rail-to-rail output swing, reverse-battery protection to –18V, and guaranteed performance over –40°C to 85°C.
Technical Context
The LT1672CMS8#PBF employs a three-stage architecture: a dual-differential-pair rail-to-rail input stage (enabling Over-The-Top operation), a folded-cascode second stage for high open-loop gain (≥100 V/mV), and a common-emitter rail-to-rail output stage. Its input bias current remains ≤250pA across the full common-mode range, including operation above V+.
Stability is ensured for closed-loop gains ≥5; it is decompensated for optimized power-to-bandwidth trade-off. The device maintains low noise (4µVP-P, 0.1Hz–10Hz; 185nV/√Hz at 100Hz) and high PSRR/CMRR (90dB typical) across its 2.2V–36V supply range, supporting precision DC and low-frequency AC applications without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 2µA max per amplifier - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 375µV max (–40°C to 85°C) - ensures <0.1% error in 12-bit systems with 1V full-scale signals. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 12kHz at AV ≥ 5 - supports stable amplification of low-frequency sensor outputs (e.g., thermocouples, strain gauges). |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.3V to 36V (with V– = 0V) - allows direct interfacing to transducers operating above V+ or below ground. |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail: within 35mV of V+ and 100mV of V– (ISOURCE/ISINK = 100µA) - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply systems. |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Withstands –18V supply - eliminates need for external series diodes in automotive or industrial battery-powered equipment. |
| Input Bias Current | 250pA max - permits use of >1MΩ source impedances without significant offset error (e.g., pH electrodes, photodiodes). |
Pinout & Package
LT1672CMS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead MSOP (MS8) package, 3mm × 3mm, 0.65mm pitch, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or beveled edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice. |
| 2 (V–) | Negative Supply Rail | Reference for all internal circuitry; supports operation down to –15V in dual-supply mode. |
| 3 (+IN) | Non-Inverting Input | High-impedance node (250pA IB); accepts signals up to 36V regardless of V+ level. |
| 4 (–IN) | Inverting Input | Matches +IN characteristics; used for feedback and summing configurations. |
| 5 (OUT) | Amplifier Output | Capable of sourcing/sinking 500µA while maintaining rail-to-rail swing. |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; no connection required. |
| 7 (V+) | Positive Supply Rail | Accepts 2.2V to 36V; reverse-battery protected to –18V. |
| 8 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; leave unconnected. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Over-The-Top™ Input Operation | Inputs function reliably >V+ (up to 36V), enabling direct sensing of high-side voltages without level-shifting. |
| Rail-to-Rail Input and Output | Full signal utilization across entire supply range - critical for low-voltage battery systems (e.g., 3V coin cell). |
| Ultralow 2µA Supply Current | Reduces quiescent power to 6µW at 3V - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and remote sensors. |
| Low 375µV Max Offset Voltage | Minimizes DC error in precision gain stages; drift of only 0.4µV/°C ensures stability over temperature. |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Survives –18V supply without damage or latch-up - simplifies power management in field-deployed devices. |
| High CMRR and PSRR (90dB) | Rejects noise from shared supply rails and common-mode interference in noisy industrial environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision micropower op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1494CS8#PBF | Unity-gain stable; 1.5µA IS; 10kHz GBW; same MS8 package. | Supports AV = 1 configurations (e.g., buffers, followers) where LT1672CMS8#PBF requires AV ≥ 5. | Select LT1494CS8#PBF when unity-gain operation is needed; otherwise LT1672CMS8#PBF offers higher GBW at same current. |
| LT1782IMS8#PBF | SOT-23-5 package; 55µA IS; 200kHz GBW; 800µV VOS max. | Higher speed and supply current; suited for faster sensor interfaces where power budget allows. | Choose LT1782IMS8#PBF for >100kHz signal paths; LT1672CMS8#PBF remains optimal for sub-20kHz, sub-2.5µA designs. |
Compared with LT1494CS8#PBF and LT1782IMS8#PBF, the LT1672CMS8#PBF uniquely balances 12kHz bandwidth, 2µA supply current, and Over-The-Top input capability - making it the only choice for precision, high-common-mode, micropower amplification where gain ≥5 is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating supply voltage for LT1672CMS8#PBF?
The LT1672CMS8#PBF operates down to 2.2V (minimum specified), with functional operation confirmed at 2.1V. At 2.2V, it maintains full rail-to-rail input/output swing, 375µV max VOS, and 2µA max supply current - making it suitable for single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) and alkaline (1.5V×2) systems with headroom.
Does LT1672CMS8#PBF support single-supply operation with inputs below ground?
Yes. The LT1672CMS8#PBF accepts input common-mode voltages down to –0.3V relative to V–. When V– = 0V (single-supply configuration), inputs may go to –0.3V - sufficient for interfacing with transducers that swing slightly negative, such as certain bridge sensors or AC-coupled signals with DC bias.
Can LT1672CMS8#PBF drive capacitive loads?
The LT1672CMS8#PBF is stable driving ≤500pF at AV = 5 with output biased near mid-supply. However, if the output operates within 100mV of V+, allowable capacitance drops to <100pF at 30V supply. For heavier loads, an external isolation resistor (e.g., 10–50Ω) between output and capacitance is recommended.
What is the meaning of "Over-The-Top™" in LT1672CMS8#PBF?
"Over-The-Top™" denotes the LT1672CMS8#PBF's ability to accept input voltages exceeding the positive supply rail (V+) by up to 36V - achieved via a dual-differential-pair input stage. This enables direct high-side current sensing, battery voltage monitoring above regulator output, and fault-tolerant interface to industrial fieldbus signals without external level shifters.
Is LT1672CMS8#PBF pin-compatible with other op amps in the LT167x family?
No. The LT1672CMS8#PBF (single, MS8) uses a non-standard pinout with NC pins at 1, 6, and 8. The LT1673 (dual) and LT1674 (quad) have different pin assignments and package footprints. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign; only functional equivalence - not pin compatibility - applies across the LT167x series.
