Product details
Overview
LT1997IMS-3#PBF from Analog Devices is a precision gain-selectable difference amplifier IC integrating matched thin-film resistors and a low-offset op amp in a 16-lead MSOP package. It delivers ±0.006% (60 ppm) gain error at G = 1, 91 dB DC CMRR, ±160 V common-mode input range, and rail-to-rail output swing - enabling high-accuracy current sensing and level translation in industrial data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LT1997IMS-3#PBF datasheet, LT1997IMS-3#PBF pinout, LT1997IMS-3#PBF application, or LT1997IMS-3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1 ppm/°C gain drift, shutdown current of 20 µA, 350 µA active supply current, and compatibility with 3.3 V to 50 V dual or single supplies across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The LT1997IMS-3#PBF implements a fully integrated difference amplifier architecture with three noninverting (+INA/+INB/+INC) and three inverting (–INA/–INB/–INC) input terminals, each connected to precision internal resistors (22.5 kΩ, 7.5 kΩ, 2.5 kΩ) enabling fixed gains of 1, 3, or 9 without external components. Its internal op amp operates in normal mode for VCMOP between V– and V+ – 1.75 V, or Over-The-Top® mode up to V– + 76 V.
Gain configuration is determined by external connections: selecting +INA/–INA yields G = 1; +INB/–INB yields G = 3; +INC/–INC yields G = 9. The REF pin sets output offset, while SHDN enables low-power shutdown (20 µA), and the exposed V– pad on the MSOP package ensures thermal performance with θJA = 130°C/W.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8479ARZ | Fixed G = 1, 80 dB CMRR, ±100 V common-mode, no shutdown, SOIC-8 | Lacks gain flexibility and low-power mode; suited only for unidirectional high-CMRR sensing | Select AD8479ARZ when absolute minimum board area and cost are prioritized over programmability and power savings |
| INA240A1D | Fixed G = 20, 120 dB CMRR, ±80 V common-mode, 2.1 MHz BW, SOIC-8 | Higher bandwidth but narrower common-mode range; optimized for motor current loop control | Select INA240A1D when fast transient response is required and common-mode stays within ±80 V |

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode input voltage supported by the LT1997IMS-3#PBF?
The LT1997IMS-3#PBF supports ±160 V common-mode voltage on the +INA and –INA pins when referenced to V–, verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for the MS16 package. This enables direct interfacing with 400 V DC bus systems without external attenuation or isolation.
Can the LT1997IMS-3#PBF operate from a single 5 V supply?
Yes, the LT1997IMS-3#PBF is fully specified down to 3.3 V total supply (V+ to V–), including operation from a 5 V single supply (V+ = 5 V, V– = 0 V). Performance metrics such as gain error (±0.006%), CMRR (90 dB), and output swing (within 15 mV of rails) are guaranteed across this condition per the Electrical Characteristics tables.
How does the SHDN pin function on the LT1997IMS-3#PBF?
The SHDN pin on the LT1997IMS-3#PBF is an active-high control: the device operates normally when SHDN ≥ V+ – 1.2 V (or left floating), and enters low-power shutdown drawing 20 µA when SHDN ≤ V+ – 2.5 V. This enables rapid power cycling in portable or energy-sensitive applications without external sequencing.
What is the guaranteed gain error drift over temperature for the LT1997IMS-3#PBF?
The LT1997IMS-3#PBF guarantees ±1 ppm/°C maximum gain error drift over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under ∆G/∆T. This stability is achieved through laser-trimmed thin-film resistors with matched temperature coefficients, ensuring minimal calibration drift in field-deployed equipment.
Which package variant does the LT1997IMS-3#PBF use, and what are its thermal characteristics?
The LT1997IMS-3#PBF uses the 16-lead plastic MSOP (MS16) package with exposed V– pad. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 130°C/W (no heatsink), and the exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB copper plane for effective heat dissipation and electrical grounding, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Pin Configuration sections.
