Product details
Overview
LT1884ACS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual precision rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage, high-accuracy signal conditioning. It delivers 50 µV max input offset voltage, 400 pA max input bias current, and 1 V/µs slew rate while consuming less than 1 mA per amplifier at 5 V supply. Its rail-to-rail output swing (within 40 mV of V– and 220 mV of V+) enables robust performance in single-supply battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT1884ACS8#PBF datasheet, LT1884ACS8#PBF pinout, LT1884ACS8#PBF application, or LT1884ACS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include picoamp-level input bias current, matched dual-channel precision, temperature-stable offset drift (≤0.8 µV/°C), and SO-8 package compatibility with standard PCB footprints for instrumentation-grade analog front-ends.
Technical Context
The LT1884ACS8#PBF integrates two independent precision op amps sharing a common silicon die to ensure tight matching of offset voltage (≤70 µV), bias current, and CMRR across temperature. Its input stage uses bipolar technology with on-chip bias current cancellation, yielding uncorrelated IB+ and IB−-enabling accurate high-impedance source interfacing without input resistor balancing.
It operates from ±1.35 V to ±15 V or 2.7 V to 36 V total supply, with input common-mode range extending from VEE + 1.2 V to VCC – 1.2 V. Output stage architecture supports fast settling (10 µs to 0.01%) into 2 kΩ loads while maintaining >106 dB CMRR over 1.2 V to 3.8 V common-mode range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | 50 µV max (LT1884A grade) - ensures ≤0.05 mV DC error in 1 V full-scale precision gain stages |
| Input Bias Current | 400 pA max - enables use with >10 MΩ sensor sources without significant voltage drop or drift |
| Slew Rate | 1 V/µs - supports 100 kHz small-signal bandwidth with <0.1% distortion in unity-gain buffer configurations |
| Supply Current per Amp | 1.4 mA max at 5 V - allows dual-channel precision amplification within 3 mW total power budget |
| Output Swing (VCC = 5 V) | Within 40 mV of V– and 220 mV of V+ - delivers >4.7 V output span for 5 V single-supply data acquisition |
| Offset Voltage Drift | 0.8 µV/°C max - limits drift-induced error to <12 µV over –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range |
| Open-Loop Gain | 1,000 V/mV min (RL = 10 kΩ) - provides ≥120 dB loop gain for stable 100× closed-loop gain configurations |
Pinout & Package
LT1884ACS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8, narrow 0.150") package with standard dual op amp pinout and JEDEC MS-012AC compliant dimensions (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm × 1.75 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive Supply Rail | Accepts 2.7 V to 36 V total supply or +1.35 V to +15 V in split-supply mode; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
| OUT B | Amplifier B Output | Rail-to-rail capable: swings within 40 mV of V– and 220 mV of V+ under 5 mA load |
| –IN B | Inverting Input B | High-impedance node (400 pA max bias); requires guard ring routing in high-precision layouts |
| +IN B | Noninverting Input B | Matches –IN B in offset and drift; no external balancing resistors needed due to uncorrelated bias currents |
| OUT A | Amplifier A Output | Electrically identical to OUT B; channel matching enables differential output or dual-path signal processing |
| –IN A | Inverting Input A | Paired with +IN A for matched gain/CMRR performance; offset match ≤70 µV vs. –IN B at 25°C |
| +IN A | Noninverting Input A | Supports common-mode input up to VEE + 1.2 V and VCC – 1.2 V; clamped diodes protect against ±10 V differential transients |
| V– | Negative Supply Rail | Connect to ground (single supply) or negative rail (split supply); thermal pad not present in SO-8 variant |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Picoamp input bias current | 400 pA max enables direct connection to thermocouples, photodiodes, and high-Z pH electrodes without signal degradation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision dual op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2050CS8#PBF | Zero-drift architecture (3 µV max VOS, 0.03 µV/°C drift); lower 1/f noise but 0.3 V/µs slew rate | Better DC accuracy for <1 Hz applications; insufficient slew for >10 kHz AC-coupled sensor signals | Select LTC2050CS8#PBF when sub-µV offset stability dominates over bandwidth; avoid for fast-settling multiplexed data acquisition |
| LT1793CS8#PBF | JFET input (10 pA max IB), higher 12 nV/√Hz noise, 2.5 MHz GBW, no rail-to-rail output (clips 1.5 V from rails) | Superior high-frequency noise performance for photodiode transimpedance; incompatible with low-voltage single-supply systems | Choose LT1793CS8#PBF for >100 kHz optical sensing; reject for battery-powered 3.3 V systems requiring full-rail output swing |
Compared with LT1884ACS8#PBF, LTC2050CS8#PBF offers superior DC precision but sacrifices bandwidth and settling speed, while LT1793CS8#PBF provides lower bias current at the cost of output swing limitation and higher voltage noise-making LT1884ACS8#PBF the optimal balance for general-purpose precision analog front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for LT1884ACS8#PBF?
The LT1884ACS8#PBF supports a total supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 36 V, with absolute maximum ratings of ±20 V on V+ and V– pins. For reliable operation, Analog Devices specifies full electrical performance from 5 V to ±15 V; operation below 5 V is functional but may reduce output drive capability and slew rate.
Does LT1884ACS8#PBF require input bias current compensation resistors?
No, LT1884ACS8#PBF does not require external input bias current compensation resistors. Its on-chip bias current cancellation produces uncorrelated IB+ and IB−, making traditional resistor balancing counterproductive. Instead, keep both input impedances as low as possible to minimize total circuit error-especially critical for LT1884ACS8#PBF's 400 pA max bias current specification.
Can LT1884ACS8#PBF drive capacitive loads without oscillation?
Yes, LT1884ACS8#PBF can drive up to 300 pF capacitive loads in unity-gain configuration without instability. For larger loads or higher gains, add a small series resistor (e.g., 10–50 Ω) between the output and capacitance to isolate the reactive load from the amplifier's feedback node-a technique validated in the LT1884ACS8#PBF datasheet Figure 18.
What is the guaranteed input common-mode voltage range for LT1884ACS8#PBF?
The LT1884ACS8#PBF guarantees proper operation with input voltages from VEE + 1.2 V to VCC – 1.2 V over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. Exceeding this range causes gain reduction but no phase reversal; for example, with VCC = 5 V and VEE = 0 V, valid inputs span 1.2 V to 3.8 V.
How does the LT1884ACS8#PBF differ from the standard LT1884CS8#PBF grade?
The LT1884ACS8#PBF is the "A" grade version, featuring tighter specifications: 50 µV max input offset voltage (vs. 80 µV for standard grade), 400 pA max input bias current (vs. 900 pA), and 0.8 µV/°C max offset drift (vs. 1.2 µV/°C). These enhancements make LT1884ACS8#PBF suitable for higher-accuracy applications such as laboratory-grade instrumentation and calibrated sensor modules.
