Product details
Overview
LT1805CS from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a quad rail-to-rail input and output operational amplifier optimized for high-speed, low-voltage signal conditioning. It delivers 100 V/µs slew rate, 85 MHz gain bandwidth product, ±42 mA output drive, 21 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and operates from 2.3 V to 12.6 V total supply - enabling precision buffering in data acquisition front-ends and video line drivers.
For engineers reviewing the LT1805CS datasheet, LT1805CS pinout, LT1805CS application, or LT1805CS equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (14-pin SO), confirmed quad op amp topology, real-world rail-to-rail dynamic range behavior, thermal derating guidance for continuous output loading, and two validated alternative quad amplifiers with documented performance trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LT1805CS integrates four independent high-speed amplifiers sharing a common 14-pin SO package, each featuring dual-input-stage architecture (PNP + NPN) that enables true rail-to-rail input common-mode range (VS– to VS+) and output swing within 20 mV of either rail. Its complementary bipolar process supports stable operation at supply voltages as low as 2.3 V while maintaining >70 dB CMRR and PSRR across 0.01–10 MHz.
Each amplifier exhibits channel-to-channel matching specifications including ≤6.5 mV input offset voltage match and ≤91 dB CMRR match over –40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for multi-channel instrumentation where gain and phase coherence matter. The device is not unity-gain stable without external compensation when driving capacitive loads >100 pF.

Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit differential ADC inputs from low-output-impedance sensors (e.g., strain gauges, RTDs) in programmable logic controller analog input modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad LT1805CS configured as two matched non-inverting buffers (A/B) and two matched inverting gain stages (C/D) to form a fully differential signal chain with common-mode rejection >85 dB. Use Value: Rail-to-rail output swing ensures full utilization of 0–3.3 V ADC reference; 21 nV/√Hz noise contributes <0.5 LSB error in 100 kHz bandwidth. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single LT1805CS channel (A) used as unity-gain buffer with 150 Ω load; remaining channels (B/C/D) reserved for sync pulse conditioning and DC restoration. Use Value: 0.15% differential gain and 1° differential phase error meet SMPTE RP-168 spec; 100 V/µs slew rate prevents edge ringing on 3.58 MHz color burst. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two LT1805CS devices provide eight rail-to-rail buffers - four for cold-junction compensation, four for thermocouple voltage amplification. Use Value: Input bias current <1 µA minimizes voltage drop across 100 kΩ thermocouple source impedance; 3.1 mA per amplifier enables 8-channel operation under 25 mA total. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8604ARUZ | Lower slew rate (5 V/µs), lower noise (12 nV/√Hz), higher supply current (1 mA per amp), wider temp range (–40°C to 125°C) | Better for precision DC-coupled sensor interfaces; unsuitable for >1 MHz video or fast-settling data acquisition | Select AD8604ARUZ when offset drift (<0.2 µV/°C) and long-term stability outweigh speed requirements. |
| TLV2464CDR | Slower GBW (6.4 MHz), lower output drive (±35 mA), higher input bias current (1 pA typical), same SO-14 package | Optimized for battery-powered portable instruments requiring ultra-low quiescent current (230 µA/amp) | Choose TLV2464CDR only for sub-1 MHz applications where power budget is constrained to <1 mA total for four channels. |
Compared with LT1805CS, AD8604ARUZ trades 95 V/µs speed for 0.2 µV/°C drift and 12 nV/√Hz noise - ideal for thermistor linearization but inadequate for video. TLV2464CDR sacrifices 78.6 MHz bandwidth and rail-to-rail output swing to achieve 230 µA/amp quiescent current - viable only in always-on IoT nodes with <100 kHz signal content.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LT1805CS can drive without oscillation?
The LT1805CS remains stable driving up to 100 pF with unity-gain configuration and proper PCB layout. For loads exceeding 100 pF, a series resistor (10–50 Ω) must be placed adjacent to the output pin to isolate capacitance - verified by overshoot measurements in Figure G30/G31 of the 180345f datasheet. This limitation applies to all four amplifiers identically in the LT1805CS.
Does the LT1805CS support true single-supply operation down to 2.3 V?
Yes - the LT1805CS is fully specified from 2.3 V to 12.6 V total supply, with rail-to-rail input and output functionality maintained across this range. At 2.3 V, minimum output swing is within 120 mV of each rail at 5 mA load, and gain bandwidth reduces to ~40 MHz. This capability is confirmed in the "Minimum Supply Voltage" row of the Electrical Characteristics tables (Note 6).
How does input stage crossover affect offset voltage in the LT1805CS?
The LT1805CS uses dual PNP/NPN input stages that switch near VS+ – 1.3 V; offset voltage shifts by ≤1 mV across the transition zone (VCM = 3.7 V to 5 V at 5 V supply). This behavior is documented in Figure G06 and the "Input Offset Shift" parameter (≤1.00 mV max over full VCM range), and must be accounted for in precision DC-coupled applications spanning the entire input range.
Can the LT1805CS replace the LT1805IS in industrial temperature-grade designs?
No - LT1805CS is rated for 0°C to 70°C operation only, while LT1805IS is guaranteed over –40°C to 85°C. Though LT1805CS may function at –40°C, its parameters (e.g., slew rate, GBW, offset match) are not tested or guaranteed outside 0°C–70°C. For industrial deployments requiring full-spec performance at extreme temperatures, LT1805IS is the qualified choice.
What thermal considerations apply when using all four amplifiers simultaneously in LT1805CS?
At 5 V supply and 3.1 mA per amplifier, total quiescent power is 62 mW. With θJA = 160°C/W, ambient temperature must stay below 135°C to keep junction temperature ≤150°C - but practical derating requires limiting continuous output current. Per the Power Dissipation section, driving 10 mA into 100 Ω loads raises power to 180 mW, requiring ambient <120°C or PCB copper area enhancement.
