Product details
Overview
LT1679CS#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a quad rail-to-rail input/output precision operational amplifier optimized for low-noise, single-supply signal conditioning. It delivers 3.9nV/√Hz voltage noise at 1kHz, 20MHz gain bandwidth, 100µV max input offset voltage, and operates from 2.7V to 36V supply. It is used in portable microphones, strain gauge amplifiers, and instrumentation systems requiring microvolt-level accuracy.
For engineers reviewing the LT1679CS#PBF datasheet, LT1679CS#PBF pinout, LT1679CS#PBF application, or LT1679CS#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SO-14 package details, rail-to-rail I/O behavior, matching performance data, and real-world design context for low-noise analog front-ends.
Technical Context
The LT1679CS#PBF integrates four independent op amps in a single SO-14 package with matched internal circuitry enabling high-precision differential applications like instrumentation amplifiers. Its input stage eliminates phase inversion when common-mode voltage exceeds either rail by 100mV, and its output swings within 170mV of both rails under light load.
It features dual complementary input pairs (NPN/PNP) that automatically switch based on common-mode voltage, maintaining functionality across ±15V or single 3–36V supplies. Matching specifications-including ∆VOS ≤ 150µV (0°C to 70°C) and ∆CMRR ≥ 94dB-support tightly coupled dual-amplifier topologies without external trimming.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 20MHz - supports stable unity-gain buffers and closed-loop filters up to ~10MHz with adequate phase margin. |
| Voltage Noise Density | 3.9nV/√Hz at 1kHz - enables high-fidelity amplification of µV-level sensor signals without dominating system noise floor. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 100µV max (–40°C to 85°C) - ensures <1mV error in 10V full-scale measurements without calibration. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 170mV of rails at 0.1mA - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3V or 5V single-supply systems. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | –0.1V to VS + 0.1V - allows direct interfacing to sensors operating beyond supply rails, e.g., thermocouples or bridge outputs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OP4177ARZ | Lower noise (2.9nV/√Hz), higher offset (60µV typ), 3MHz GBW, SO-14, specified for –40°C to +125°C | Better for ultra-low-noise DC-coupled applications; insufficient bandwidth for >1MHz signal chains | Select OP4177ARZ when noise dominates over speed and extended temperature range is required. |
| TLV2464CDR | Higher noise (22nV/√Hz), rail-to-rail I/O, 6.4MHz GBW, SO-14, 1.8–6V supply only | Suitable for cost-sensitive, low-voltage portable designs where noise <10nV/√Hz is not critical | Select TLV2464CDR only for 1.8–6V systems where budget constraints outweigh noise and precision requirements. |
Compared with OP4177ARZ and TLV2464CDR, the LT1679CS#PBF uniquely balances 20MHz bandwidth, 3.9nV/√Hz noise, and true rail-to-rail operation from 2.7V - making it optimal for wide-supply, high-speed precision sensing where both speed and low-frequency accuracy matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LT1679CS#PBF?
The LT1679CS#PBF has an absolute maximum supply voltage of ±18V (36V total), with guaranteed operation from 2.7V to 36V. It maintains rail-to-rail input/output performance across this full range, including single 3.3V, 5V, and 24V systems. Exceeding ±18V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does LT1679CS#PBF support true rail-to-rail input and output simultaneously?
Yes, the LT1679CS#PBF supports rail-to-rail input (–0.1V to VS + 0.1V) and rail-to-rail output (within 170mV of either rail at 0.1mA) simultaneously. This enables full utilization of supply headroom in single-supply configurations - for example, delivering 0–3.13V output from a 3.3V rail while accepting 0–3.4V input signals without phase reversal.
How does the matching performance of LT1679CS#PBF benefit instrumentation amplifier designs?
The LT1679CS#PBF specifies matched parameters between amplifier pairs (A/D and B/C), including ∆VOS ≤ 150µV and ∆CMRR ≥ 94dB over 0°C to 70°C. This allows building accurate two-op-amp instrumentation amplifiers without external trimming components - reducing BOM count, PCB area, and calibration complexity while achieving >80dB common-mode rejection in compact layouts.
Can LT1679CS#PBF operate from a single 3V supply?
Yes, the LT1679CS#PBF is fully specified and characterized for single 3V operation (VS = 3V, VCM = VO = 1.7V). It delivers 3.9nV/√Hz noise, 20MHz GBW, and rail-to-rail I/O at 3V - making it ideal for coin-cell or Li-ion powered devices where supply headroom is constrained and precision cannot be compromised.
What is the 0.1Hz to 10Hz noise specification for LT1679CS#PBF?
The LT1679CS#PBF exhibits 90nVP-P typical input-referred voltage noise over 0.1Hz to 10Hz at VCM = VS, and 180nVP-P at VCM = 0V. This low 1/f noise enables high-resolution DC measurements in applications such as thermopile amplification, pH sensing, and precision weigh scales where long-term drift and low-frequency interference dominate.
