Product details
Overview
LT1672IS8#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, and 12 kHz gain bandwidth product while operating from 2.2 V to 36 V supplies. It is used in battery-powered sensor front-ends where input signals exceed the positive rail.
For engineers reviewing the LT1672IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1672IS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1672IS8#TRPBF application, or LT1672IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include micropower operation under ±15 V or single 5 V supply, reverse-battery protection to –18 V, rail-to-rail I/O swing, and guaranteed performance over –40°C to 85°C.
Technical Context
The LT1672IS8#TRPBF employs a three-stage architecture: a dual-differential-pair rail-to-rail input stage enabling operation above V+, a folded-cascode second stage delivering high open-loop gain (≥100 V/mV into 100 kΩ), and a common-emitter rail-to-rail output stage sourcing/sinking 500 µA. Its Over-The-Top™ topology allows inputs up to 36 V above V–, even when V+ is as low as 2.2 V.
It is decompensated for stable operation only at noise gain ≥5, distinguishing it from unity-gain-stable variants like the LT1494. Input bias current remains ≤250 pA (typical), and input offset voltage drift is specified at 0.4 µV/°C (typ), supporting precision DC-coupled signal conditioning in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 2 µA max per amplifier - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in remote sensors. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 375 µV max at 25°C - ensures <0.1% gain error in 100× instrumentation amplifier configurations. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 12 kHz - supports stable filtering and amplification of sub-1 kHz sensor signals with noise gain ≥5. |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.3 V to 36 V - permits direct interfacing with photodiodes, thermocouples, or industrial 24 V signals without level-shifting. |
| Output Swing | VOH = V+ – 35 mV, VOL = 50 mV - achieves true rail-to-rail output into high-impedance loads for full ADC utilization. |

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 supply current; 425 µV max VOS; same Over-The-Top™ input range. | Supports gain-of-1 configurations (e.g., buffers) where LT1672IS8#TRPBF requires minimum noise gain of 5. | Select LT1494CS8#TRPBF when unity-gain stability is mandatory; otherwise LT1672IS8#TRPBF offers higher GBW (12 kHz vs 4.5 kHz) at slightly higher supply current. |
| OPA333AIDBVR | Zero-drift architecture; 17 µA supply current; 10 µV max VOS; no Over-The-Top™ input (CMR = V– to V+ – 0.1 V). | Superior DC accuracy for millivolt-level signals but cannot interface with inputs exceeding V+. | Select OPA333AIDBVR for ultra-low-offset, low-drift applications with conventional CMR; avoid where input signals exceed V+. |
Compared with LT1494CS8#TRPBF and OPA333AIDBVR, LT1672IS8#TRPBF uniquely balances ultralow power (2 µA), Over-The-Top™ input capability, and usable bandwidth (12 kHz) - making it optimal for high-side, battery-constrained, precision amplification where unity-gain stability is not required.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for stable operation of the LT1672IS8#TRPBF?
The LT1672IS8#TRPBF is specified for stable operation down to 2.2 V total supply voltage (V+ to V–). The minimum operating supply voltage is guaranteed at 2.2 V across the full –40°C to 85°C temperature range, with typical functionality observed down to 2.1 V. This enables use in single-cell Li-ion or alkaline systems where voltage sags below 2.5 V during discharge.
Can the LT1672IS8#TRPBF be used in unity-gain configurations?
No, the LT1672IS8#TRPBF is decompensated and unstable at unity gain. It requires a minimum noise gain of 5 for stable operation, as confirmed in its Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Performance plots. For unity-gain-stable alternatives with identical Over-The-Top™ capability, consider the LT1494CS8#TRPBF - a documented drop-in replacement in the same SO-8 package with 1.5 µA supply current.
What does "Over-The-Top™" mean for the LT1672IS8#TRPBF inputs?
"Over-The-Top™" means the LT1672IS8#TRPBF input stage operates correctly even when either input voltage exceeds the positive supply rail (V+) by up to 36 V relative to V–. This is achieved via internal dual-differential-pair topology and Schottky clamping. It enables direct high-side current sensing, photodiode biasing above V+, and interfacing with industrial 24 V signals without external level-shifting circuitry.
Is the LT1672IS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with other devices in the LT167x family?
No - the LT1672IS8#TRPBF (single) uses a nonstandard 8-pin SO pinout with three NC pins (1, 4, 5), differing from the standard dual op amp pinout used by LT1673IS8#TRPBF. It is also incompatible with LT1674 (quad) and MSOP-packaged variants. Pin compatibility exists only within the same channel count and package type (e.g., LT1672IS8#TRPBF ↔ LT1672CS8#TRPBF), not across family members.
How does reverse battery protection work on the LT1672IS8#TRPBF?
The LT1672IS8#TRPBF incorporates internal reverse-polarity protection circuitry that limits supply current to <100 nA when V– is driven 18 V more negative than V+. During this condition, inputs and outputs remain undamaged, and no external components are needed for basic protection in single-supply ground-referred circuits. If inputs or outputs go negative, external series resistors must limit pin current to <10 mA.
