Product details
Overview
LT1672CMS8#TRPBF 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 2 µA max supply current per amplifier, 375 µV max input offset voltage, 12 kHz gain bandwidth product, and operates from 2.2 V to 36 V supply. It is used in micropower photodiode amplifiers and remote sensor front-ends where input signals exceed the positive rail.
For engineers reviewing the LT1672CMS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1672CMS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1672CMS8#TRPBF application, or LT1672CMS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 2 µA max quiescent current at 25°C and –40°C to 85°C operation, rail-to-rail I/O swing, reverse battery protection to –18 V, and verified Over-The-Top input operation above V+.
Technical Context
The LT1672CMS8#TRPBF 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 delivering ±500 µA load current capability. Its input bias current remains ≤250 pA up to 10 V common-mode voltage, rising to ~180 nA only when inputs exceed V+.
It is decompensated for minimum gain of AV ≥ 5, ensuring stability in non-unity-gain configurations. The device maintains 90 dB PSRR and CMRR across 2.2 V to 12 V supplies and exhibits <0.4 µV/°C typical input offset drift - critical for precision DC-coupled sensing in battery-powered systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current per Amplifier | 2 µA max at 25°C; enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Input Offset Voltage | 375 µV max (VS = 5 V); ensures ≤0.0375% error in 1 V full-scale instrumentation |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 12 kHz at AV ≥ 5; supports stable filtering and amplification up to ~1.2 kHz at G = 10 |
| Rail-to-Rail Input Range | –0.3 V to 36 V (single supply); allows direct interfacing with transducers operating above V+ |
| Output Swing (RL = 100 kΩ) | VOH = V+ – 0.16 V, VOL = 410 mV; delivers >95% of supply range into moderate loads |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Withstands –18 V applied to V+; limits supply current to <100 nA during fault, eliminating external protection diodes |
| Input Bias Current | 250 pA max (25°C); enables use of >1 MΩ source impedances without significant offset error |
Pinout & Package
LT1672CMS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead MSOP (MS8) package, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement and standard pinout compatible with industry-wide layout practices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Amplifier Output | Capable of sourcing/sinking 500 µA; rail-to-rail swing supports low-voltage signal chain integrity |
| 2 (–IN) | Inverting Input | High-impedance node (250 pA IB); accepts signals up to 36 V regardless of V+ level |
| 3 (+IN) | Non-inverting Input | Same Over-The-Top capability as –IN; enables high-side sensing without level-shifting |
| 4 (V–) | Negative Supply Rail | Supports single-supply (0 V reference) or split-supply (±15 V) operation |
| 5 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to V– per layout guidelines |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; no electrical function; avoid routing signals nearby |
| 7 (V+) | Positive Supply Rail | Accepts 2.2 V to 36 V; reverse-battery protected to –18 V |
| 8 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; do not connect to any net |

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#TRPBF | Unity-gain stable; 1.5 µA max IS; 10 kHz GBW; same MS8 package | Supports G = 1 configurations (e.g., voltage follower) where LT1672CMS8#TRPBF requires AV ≥ 5 | Select LT1494 for unity-gain buffering; retain LT1672 for gain ≥ 5 to leverage higher GBW margin and lower noise |
| LTC2050CMS8#TRPBF | Zero-drift architecture; 1.5 µA IS; 3 µV max VOS; 1.5 MHz GBW; same MS8 footprint | Superior DC accuracy for <1 Hz applications (e.g., strain gauge), but higher current draw at high frequencies | Choose LTC2050 for ultra-low drift (<50 nV/°C) in static measurements; choose LT1672 for optimal µA/kHz efficiency in 1–10 kHz sensor interfaces |
Compared with LT1494CS8#TRPBF and LTC2050CMS8#TRPBF, LT1672CMS8#TRPBF offers the best trade-off of sub-2 µA quiescent current, Over-The-Top input headroom, and 12 kHz bandwidth - making it uniquely suited for high-common-mode, battery-constrained DC signal chains where unity-gain stability is not required.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for reliable operation of the LT1672CMS8#TRPBF?
The LT1672CMS8#TRPBF operates down to 2.2 V (minimum specified), with functional performance confirmed at 2.1 V. At 2.2 V, it maintains 2 µA max supply current, 375 µV max input offset, and rail-to-rail output swing - making it viable for single-cell LiFePO₄ (2.5–3.6 V) and alkaline (2.4–3.2 V) battery systems. Below 2.2 V, parameters degrade progressively and are not guaranteed.
Can the LT1672CMS8#TRPBF drive capacitive loads, and what is the maximum stable value?
Yes, the LT1672CMS8#TRPBF can drive capacitive loads, but stability depends on output voltage and gain. With output biased at mid-supply and AV = 5, it remains stable with ≤100 pF. If the output operates within 100 mV of V+, allowable capacitance drops to <500 pF at 5 V supply and <100 pF at 30 V supply. For >100 pF loads, isolation resistor (10–100 Ω) between output and capacitor is recommended.
Does the LT1672CMS8#TRPBF require external protection against reverse battery connection?
No. The LT1672CMS8#TRPBF integrates reverse battery protection rated to –18 V on the V+ pin. Under this condition, supply current remains below 100 nA (inputs grounded, outputs open), and the device sustains no damage. External protection is unnecessary for standard single-supply applications with ground-referenced loads and feedback networks.
How does the Over-The-Top™ input feature work in the LT1672CMS8#TRPBF?
The LT1672CMS8#TRPBF uses a dual-differential-pair input stage. When common-mode voltage is below V+ – 0.8 V, the NPN pair (Q1–Q2) operates normally. Above that threshold, a PNP pair (Q5–Q6) activates via Q7/Q8 current steering, maintaining linear operation up to 36 V - even if V+ is only 3 V. This enables direct high-side sensing without external level shifters or resistive dividers.
Is the LT1672CMS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with other op amps in the MS8 package?
The LT1672CMS8#TRPBF follows the standard 8-pin MSOP pinout for single op amps (OUT, –IN, +IN, V–, NC, NC, V+, NC), matching footprints of LT1494CS8#TRPBF and LTC2050CMS8#TRPBF. However, due to its decompensated design (AV ≥ 5), it is not a drop-in replacement for unity-gain-stable parts - compensation network redesign may be required for G = 1 applications.
