Product details
Overview
LT1886CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual high-speed, high-output-current operational amplifier designed for demanding line driver applications. It delivers ±200mA minimum output current per channel, 700MHz gain bandwidth, and –72dBc harmonic distortion at 1MHz with 4VP-P into 25Ω at AV = 2 - enabling clean signal transmission in xDSL and ADSL modem line drivers.
For engineers reviewing the LT1886CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1886CS8#PBF pinout, LT1886CS8#PBF application, or LT1886CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include output drive capability into low-impedance loads, stability with 1000pF capacitive loading, low input bias current (≤4µA), wide common-mode input range (±4.5V at ±6V supplies), and thermal performance in the SO-8 package.
Technical Context
The LT1886CS8#PBF employs a complementary bipolar process optimized for high slew rate (200V/µs at ±6V) and low distortion across wide bandwidth. Its balanced high-impedance inputs and low input offset voltage (≤4mV) support precision DC-coupled configurations, while its gain-of-ten stability simplifies compensation for AV ≥ 10 and enables flexible single-resistor or RC network compensation for lower gains.
It operates over ±2.5V to ±6.5V total supply range, supports rail-to-rail output swing (±4.3V into 25Ω at ±6V), and maintains stable operation with reactive loads - critical for coaxial cable and twisted-pair line driving where back-termination and capacitive loading are inherent.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 700MHz at ±6V - enables >100MHz closed-loop bandwidth in AV = 10 configuration for broadband DSL signals. |
| Output Current (min) | ±200mA per amplifier - drives 25Ω loads directly without external buffers, reducing component count in line drivers. |
| Slew Rate | 200V/µs (±6V) - supports fast transient response for DMT-ADSL peak voltages up to 7.5V with minimal slewing distortion. |
| Harmonic Distortion | –72dBc HD2/HD3 at 1MHz, 4VP-P, 25Ω, AV = 2 - meets stringent ADSL upstream spectral mask requirements. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 4mV max - ensures low DC error in precision gain stages and differential driver configurations. |
| Supply Current | 7mA per amplifier - balances performance and power efficiency in thermally constrained SO-8 packages. |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable with 1000pF - eliminates need for isolation resistors when driving unterminated cables or PCB traces. |
| Input Noise | 6nV/√Hz voltage noise, 2pA/√Hz current noise - optimal for medium-to-high source impedance designs vs. current-feedback alternatives. |
Pinout & Package
The LT1886CS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8) package with exposed V– pin fused to the lead frame for enhanced thermal dissipation (θJA = 80°C/W on 2500mm² 2oz copper board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (V+) | Positive Supply | Accepts +2.5V to +6.5V; must be bypassed with 0.1µF + 1µF ceramic capacitors near pin. |
| 2 (OUT B) | Amplifier B Output | High-current output capable of ±200mA; requires short trace to load for pulse fidelity. |
| 3 (–IN B) | Inverting Input B | Differential pair input; protected by back-to-back diodes; limit differential voltage >0.7V with series resistance. |
| 4 (+IN B) | Noninverting Input B | High-impedance input (≥5MΩ); match DC resistance to –IN B to minimize offset from IB mismatch. |
| 5 (OUT A) | Amplifier A Output | Independent high-drive output; identical specs to OUT B; supports dual-channel line driving. |
| 6 (–IN A) | Inverting Input A | Matches Pin 3; used for feedback networks; avoid >1kΩ feedback resistors to prevent peaking. |
| 7 (+IN A) | Noninverting Input A | Matches Pin 4; bootstrapped in noninverting configurations to preserve input impedance. |
| 8 (V–) | Negative Supply | Accepts –2.5V to –6.5V; fused to lead frame - connect to large copper pour for thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Gain-of-ten stability | Operates unconditionally stable at AV ≥ 10; avoids external compensation in most DSL gain stages. |
| Low-distortion output stage | –72dBc HD2/HD3 at 1MHz enables compliance with ITU-T G.992.1 upstream spectral masks without post-filtering. |
| Thermally enhanced SO-8 | V– pin fused to lead frame reduces θJA by ~20% vs. standard SO-8 - critical for sustained 200mA output in compact modems. |
| Wide supply range | ±2.5V to ±6.5V operation supports both low-power portable ADSL and high-swing desktop implementations. |
| High capacitive load tolerance | 1000pF stability allows direct connection to long PCB traces or unterminated cables without oscillation risk. |
| Balanced input architecture | 4µA max input bias current and 400nA max input offset current minimize DC errors in differential driver topologies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-output-current, high-bandwidth op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADA4899-1ARMZ | Single-channel, 1GHz GBW, ±175mA IOUT, 13V/µs slew rate, higher quiescent current (12.5mA). | Requires two devices for dual-channel ADSL; superior bandwidth but lower output current limits drive into 25Ω. | Prefer for single-channel ultra-wideband applications >500MHz where lower distortion at 10MHz+ is critical. |
| LMH6629MA/NOPB | Dual-channel, 750MHz GBW, ±150mA IOUT, 1000V/µs slew rate, higher input bias current (12µA), unstable >1000pF. | Higher slew rate benefits pulse fidelity but lacks 1000pF stability - requires careful layout and termination. | Prefer when extreme slew rate dominates over capacitive load robustness and thermal constraints allow larger packages. |
Compared with ADA4899-1ARMZ and LMH6629MA/NOPB, the LT1886CS8#PBF uniquely balances dual-channel integration, 1000pF stability, ±200mA drive, and SO-8 thermal performance - making it the only option qualified for production ADSL line drivers meeting full ITU-T G.992.1 spectral masks without derating.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LT1886CS8#PBF can drive stably?
The LT1886CS8#PBF is specified to remain stable with up to 1000pF capacitive load across all supply voltages and gains. This capability is validated in the datasheet's "Frequency Response vs Capacitive Load" curves (Figure 17) and enables direct driving of unterminated cables or long PCB traces without external isolation resistors - a key advantage for ADSL line driver applications where reactive loading is unavoidable.
Does the LT1886CS8#PBF support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LT1886CS8#PBF supports true single-supply operation down to +2.5V (with ground as V–). At ±2.5V supplies, it delivers ±1.5V output swing into 100Ω and maintains 530MHz gain bandwidth. The input common-mode range extends to within 1V of each rail, allowing rail-to-rail input signal handling in single-supply configurations - essential for USB-powered modem designs.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LT1886CS8#PBF in its SO-8 package?
The LT1886CS8#PBF has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 80°C/W when mounted on a 2500mm² PCB with 2oz copper on both sides - achieved via V– pin fusion to the lead frame. This value degrades to 122°C/W on minimal 180mm² copper area. Engineers must calculate junction temperature using TJ = (PD × θJA) + TA to ensure operation remains below 150°C maximum, especially under sustained ±200mA output conditions.
How does the LT1886CS8#PBF achieve low distortion in ADSL line driving?
The LT1886CS8#PBF achieves –72dBc harmonic distortion at 1MHz through a combination of advanced complementary bipolar process optimization, balanced high-impedance input stage (4µA max IB), and a high-slew-rate (200V/µs), low-output-impedance (0.1Ω) output stage. Its distortion performance is verified in the datasheet's Figure 1a (ADSL Modem Line Driver Distortion) and meets ITU-T G.992.1 upstream spectral mask requirements across full 16VP-P line voltage swing.
Can the LT1886CS8#PBF be used in unity-gain configurations?
No, the LT1886CS8#PBF is not unity-gain stable. It is specified for stable operation at noise gain ≥ 10. For lower gains, external compensation is required - either a single resistor from inverting input to AC ground (Figure 2) or an RC network (Figure 3). The datasheet provides explicit design equations and break-frequency limits (<15MHz) to ensure stability and minimize peaking while preserving distortion performance.
