Product details
Overview
LT1991IMS#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision, gain-selectable difference amplifier IC integrating eight matched thin-film resistors and a low-offset op amp in a single 10-lead MSOP package. It delivers ±0.08% gain error at G = 1, 560kHz gain bandwidth product, rail-to-rail output swing within 40mV of either rail, and operates from 2.7V to 36V supply. It is used in medical instrumentation for high-accuracy differential sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LT1991IMS#PBF datasheet, LT1991IMS#PBF pinout, LT1991IMS#PBF application, or LT1991IMS#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed temperature-grade performance (–40°C to 85°C), and real-world design context for difference amplifier, inverting, and noninverting configurations without external components.
Technical Context
The LT1991IMS#PBF implements a fully integrated difference amplifier architecture with internal 450kΩ, 150kΩ, and 50kΩ SiChrome resistors enabling configurable gains from –13 to +14. Its op amp core features 50µV max input offset voltage, 0.3µV/°C drift, and 100µA supply current at 5V - optimized for micropower precision measurement.
Resistor matching is guaranteed at 0.04% over temperature for 450kΩ elements, yielding >75dB CMRR in difference mode. The device supports single-supply (2.7V–36V) and split-supply (±1.35V–±18V) operation, with input common-mode range extending to –0.5V to 5.1V at 5V supply and rail-to-rail output drive capability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision difference amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA128UA | Fixed G = 100; no internal resistors; requires external gain-setting resistor; higher supply current (700µA) | Limited to single gain; less flexible for multi-range instruments | Select when fixed high gain and higher speed (>1MHz) are required, and board space permits external resistor |
| AD8271ARMZ | G = 1 only; 0.01% gain error; 10MHz bandwidth; 1.2mA supply current; 8-lead MSOP | Better bandwidth and accuracy but lacks multi-gain flexibility and micropower operation | Select for high-speed, high-accuracy single-gain applications where power budget allows >1mA |
Compared with INA128UA and AD8271ARMZ, LT1991IMS#PBF uniquely combines micropower (100µA), multi-gain configurability (G = ±1 to ±13), and integrated precision resistors - making it optimal for compact, battery-powered, multi-range instrumentation where layout simplicity and temperature stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for LT1991IMS#PBF?
The LT1991IMS#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation, meeting industrial-grade reliability requirements. This I-grade specification is validated per Linear Technology's production test flow and includes full electrical characterization across the range - unlike C-grade parts which are only guaranteed from 0°C to 70°C. The MSOP package's 150°C maximum junction temperature supports robust thermal margin in enclosed enclosures.
Can LT1991IMS#PBF be used as a standard noninverting amplifier?
Yes, LT1991IMS#PBF can be configured as a noninverting amplifier using P1 (or P3/P9) and REF pins, achieving gains from 0.07 to 14. For example, connecting P1 to signal, REF to ground, and leaving M1 open yields G = 1 with 900kΩ input impedance. The internal resistor network eliminates external feedback components, preserving accuracy while reducing board area - a key advantage over discrete op amp + resistor solutions.
What is the maximum input voltage allowed on the P1 and M1 pins of LT1991IMS#PBF?
The P1 and M1 pins of LT1991IMS#PBF tolerate up to ±60V relative to VEE, independent of supply voltage - a feature enabled by substrate-isolated 450kΩ resistors. This exceeds the ±15.2V limit of P3/M3 and P9/M9 pins, making P1/M1 ideal for high-common-mode applications like motor phase current sensing or isolated voltage monitoring. Absolute maximum total supply voltage remains 40V (VCC to VEE).
Does LT1991IMS#PBF require external compensation capacitors?
No, LT1991IMS#PBF is internally compensated and stable without external capacitors. It supports capacitive loads up to 100pF at noise gains <2 and up to 500pF at noise gains ≥2. This eliminates layout sensitivity and improves reliability in high-impedance sensor interfaces. Stability is verified across all gain configurations (G = ±1 to ±13) and supply voltages (2.7V–36V), including worst-case –40°C to +85°C conditions.
How does the REF pin function in LT1991IMS#PBF difference amplifier mode?
In difference amplifier mode, the REF pin of LT1991IMS#PBF sets the output DC level when the differential input is zero: VOUT = VREF + ΔVIN × G. It connects internally to a 450kΩ resistor tied to the op amp's noninverting input, allowing precise level-shifting without loading external references. Driving REF with a low-impedance source (e.g., DAC output or precision voltage divider) ensures accurate offset control - critical for bipolar signal acquisition in data loggers and medical devices.
