Product details
Overview
LT1990AIS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower precision difference amplifier optimized for high common-mode voltage sensing in battery monitoring, current sensing, and industrial signal acquisition. It delivers pin-selectable gain of 1 or 10, ±250V input common-mode range (±15V supply), 70dB min CMRR, 0.28% max gain error (G=1), and rail-to-rail output swing - enabling accurate low-side/high-side voltage and current measurement in noisy, high-voltage systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1990AIS8#PBF datasheet, LT1990AIS8#PBF pinout, LT1990AIS8#PBF application, or LT1990AIS8#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in battery management and motor control, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented performance trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LT1990AIS8#PBF implements an integrated thin-film resistor-based difference amplifier architecture with internal 27:1 common-mode voltage division, enabling ±250V input range while operating from ±15V supplies. Its reference input (REF) allows additive offset injection, and gain selection is achieved by strapping GAIN1/GAIN2 pins to REF (G=10) or leaving them open (G=1).
Input protection includes ±350V transient tolerance on common-mode inputs and ±500V differential tolerance. The device maintains 100kHz –3dB bandwidth at G=1 and draws ≤120µA supply current at 5V, supporting micropower operation across 2.7V–36V single or ±1.35V–±18V split supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | Pin-selectable: 1 (GAIN1/GAIN2 open) or 10 (GAIN1/GAIN2 tied to REF) - enables flexible signal scaling without external resistors. |
| Common-Mode Range | ±250V at ±15V supply - supports direct sensing across high-voltage bus rails without external level-shifting. |
| CMRR | 70dB minimum (LT1990A grade) - ensures rejection of noise-coupled common-mode interference in motor drives and power converters. |
| Gain Error | 0.28% maximum at G=1, 25°C - guarantees accuracy in precision current shunt monitoring where <0.5% total error is required. |
| Supply Current | 120µA maximum at 5V - enables always-on battery cell voltage monitoring in multi-cell packs with minimal self-discharge impact. |
| Input Impedance | 2MΩ differential, 500kΩ common-mode - minimizes loading on high-impedance sensor nodes and legacy analog front-ends. |
| Bandwidth | 100kHz at G=1 - sufficient for DC–10kHz current/voltage transients in motor phase current sensing and UPS monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
LT1990AIS8#PBF is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (S8) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC dimensions (4.9mm × 3.9mm, 1.27mm pitch). The package is RoHS-compliant and lead-free (PBF suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF (Pin 1) | Reference Input | Sets output zero-point offset; connects to stable voltage source (e.g., 1.25V or 2.5V reference) to shift output baseline - critical for unipolar ADC interfacing. |
| –IN (Pin 2) | Inverting Input | High-impedance node (1MΩ internal series resistor) for connecting to high-side or low-side shunt monitor points - withstands ±350V transients. |
| +IN (Pin 3) | Noninverting Input | High-impedance node (1MΩ internal series resistor) for complementary shunt connection - matched to –IN for CMRR preservation. |
| V– (Pin 4) | Negative Supply | Ground (single-supply) or negative rail (split-supply); defines lower bound of output swing and common-mode compliance. |
| GAIN2 (Pin 5) | Gain Configuration | Used with GAIN1 to select G=10 when tied to REF; left open for G=1 - no external components needed for basic gain setup. |
| OUT (Pin 6) | Amplified Output | Rail-to-rail output capable of driving 10kΩ loads directly into ADCs or comparators - eliminates need for output buffer stages. |
| V+ (Pin 7) | Positive Supply | Accepts 2.7V–36V single supply or +1.35V–+18V positive rail in split-supply mode - supports wide-range industrial power domains. |
| GAIN1 (Pin 8) | Gain Configuration | Paired with GAIN2 to enable G=10; open for G=1 - identical function to Pin 5; both must be strapped together and to REF for gain selection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower Operation | 120µA max supply current enables continuous battery cell monitoring in energy-constrained BMS applications without compromising runtime. |
| Fault-Protected Inputs | Withstands ±350V common-mode transients and ±500V differential overvoltage - eliminates need for external TVS or clamping diodes in harsh EMI environments. |
| Adjustable Common-Mode Range | VREF selection tailors input window (e.g., –5V to 80V at 5V supply with VREF = 1.25V) - supports automotive 42V and telecom –77V to +8V signaling. |
| Precision Thin-Film Resistors | On-chip laser-trimmed network achieves 0.28% gain error and <10ppm/°C gain drift - replaces discrete resistor networks requiring manual matching and calibration. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output | Delivers full dynamic range down to 30mV above V– and within 120mV of V+ at 5V - maximizes resolution when interfacing with 12-bit+ SAR ADCs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar difference amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA149IDR | Fixed G=100, ±200V common-mode range, 125µA supply current, 200kHz bandwidth | Higher gain but narrower input range; better for low-Vshunt (<10mV) sensing; less flexible for dual-gain system design | Select when fixed high gain and higher bandwidth outweigh need for G=1 flexibility and extended ±250V range. |
| AD8479ARZ | Fixed G=1, ±600V common-mode range, 700µA supply current, 200kHz bandwidth, 100dB CMRR | Superior CMRR and voltage range but 6× higher quiescent current; requires external VREF buffering | Select when ultra-high CMRR (>90dB) and >±250V range are mandatory, and micropower operation is secondary. |
Compared with INA149IDR and AD8479ARZ, the LT1990AIS8#PBF uniquely balances pin-selectable gain, ±250V capability, and 120µA micropower consumption - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and battery-backed high-voltage monitoring where gain adaptability matters.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed common-mode input voltage range for LT1990AIS8#PBF at ±15V supply?
The LT1990AIS8#PBF guarantees ±250V common-mode input voltage range when operated from ±15V supplies, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This range is enabled by its internal 27:1 common-mode divider architecture and is validated across the full –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range.
How does LT1990AIS8#PBF achieve pin-selectable gain of 1 or 10?
The LT1990AIS8#PBF uses internal thin-film resistor networks controlled by Pins 5 (GAIN2) and 8 (GAIN1). When both pins are left open, the device operates at G=1. When both pins are connected to the REF pin (Pin 1), gain is set to G=10. No external resistors are required - the configuration is purely strapping-based and fully specified in the datasheet.
What is the maximum supply voltage for LT1990AIS8#PBF, and how does it affect input range?
The LT1990AIS8#PBF supports total supply voltage up to 36V (single supply) or ±18V (split supply). At ±15V, the full ±250V common-mode range is achievable. At lower supplies (e.g., +5V/0V), the input range becomes adjustable via VREF selection - for example, –5V to +80V with VREF = 1.25V - allowing optimization for automotive or telecom applications.
Does LT1990AIS8#PBF require external input protection components?
No, the LT1990AIS8#PBF integrates robust input protection: ±350V common-mode and ±500V differential transient tolerance are built-in. External TVS diodes or series resistors are unnecessary for standard overvoltage conditions, simplifying layout and improving reliability in high-noise industrial environments.
What is the typical supply current of LT1990AIS8#PBF at 5V single supply and 25°C?
The LT1990AIS8#PBF draws ≤120µA supply current at 5V single supply and 25°C, with typical value around 105µA. This micropower characteristic is maintained across the full –40°C to 85°C operating range, making it ideal for always-on battery monitoring and low-duty-cycle sensing applications.
