Product details
Overview
LT6011IMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual precision rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-power, high-accuracy signal conditioning in single-supply systems. It delivers 135µA supply current per amplifier, 14nV/√Hz input voltage noise, <125µV max input offset voltage (–40°C to 85°C), and rail-to-rail output swing within 40mV of either rail at 5V supply - enabling use in thermocouple amplifiers and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT6011IMS8#PBF datasheet, LT6011IMS8#PBF pinout, LT6011IMS8#PBF application, or LT6011IMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed –40°C to 85°C operation, MS8 package thermal performance (θJA = 220°C/W), input bias current ≤±1500pA over temperature, and dual-channel matching for instrumentation-grade differential gain stages.
Technical Context
The LT6011IMS8#PBF employs a precision bipolar input stage with on-chip trimming to achieve sub-125µV offset and 0.8µV/°C drift, supported by internal 500Ω series input resistors and back-to-back protection diodes. Its architecture maintains 120dB minimum open-loop voltage gain (at ±15V) and 107dB CMRR while operating from 2.7V to 36V total supply.
It features matched dual amplifiers with ∆VOS ≤250µV and ∆IB ≤3000pA across –40°C to 85°C, enabling accurate differential sensing without external trimming. The output stage drives capacitive loads up to 500pF in unity gain and settles to 0.01% in 45µs for 2V steps.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply Current | 135µA per amplifier at 5V - enables multi-channel precision sensing in energy-constrained systems |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤125µV max (–40°C to 85°C) - supports 16-bit ADC interfacing without calibration |
| Input Noise Density | 14nV/√Hz at 1kHz - preserves SNR in photo-diode and sensor front-ends |
| Rail-to-Rail Output | Swings to within 40mV of V+ and V– at 1mA load - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3V/5V single-supply designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8628ARMZ | Zero-drift chopper architecture; 0.005µV/°C drift vs. 0.8µV/°C; higher 1/f noise; 1.5mA supply current | Superior long-term drift stability but unsuitable for low-noise AC-coupled sensor paths due to switching artifacts | Select AD8628ARMZ only when ultra-low drift dominates over noise and power constraints |
| OPA2189IDR | Zero-drift design; 0.005µV/°C drift; 5.6nV/√Hz noise; 250µA supply current; no rail-to-rail output | Higher precision and lower noise, but output swing limited to 1.2V from rails - requires ≥6V supply for 4Vpp output | Choose OPA2189IDR when absolute offset stability is critical and supply headroom permits non-rail-to-rail operation |
Compared with AD8628ARMZ and OPA2189IDR, the LT6011IMS8#PBF offers the optimal balance of rail-to-rail output, ultra-low power (135µA), and 14nV/√Hz noise - making it uniquely suited for battery-powered, wide-dynamic-range sensor interfaces where zero-drift artifacts or supply overhead are unacceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum input common-mode voltage range for LT6011IMS8#PBF?
The LT6011IMS8#PBF input stage operates safely between V– +1V and V+ –1.2V. Exceeding this range causes gain collapse but no phase reversal. For example, with a 5V/0V supply, valid input voltages are 1V to 3.8V; with ±15V supplies, the range is ±13.5V. This limitation is critical when designing non-inverting amplifiers with rail-referenced inputs.
Does LT6011IMS8#PBF support capacitive loads, and what is the maximum value?
Yes, LT6011IMS8#PBF drives capacitive loads up to 500pF in unity-gain configuration. Performance degrades above this value, causing peaking or instability. For loads >500pF, add a small series resistor (e.g., 10–50Ω) between the output and capacitor to restore stability - verified in typical performance plots Figure G23 and G26.
What is the guaranteed input offset voltage specification for LT6011IMS8#PBF over temperature?
LT6011IMS8#PBF (I-grade, MS8 package) guarantees ≤125µV maximum input offset voltage across –40°C to 85°C, per Electrical Characteristics Table on page 4 of the datasheet. At 25°C, typical VOS is 30µV, and the worst-case drift adds ≤0.8µV/°C × 125°C = 100µV, aligning with the 125µV limit.
How does the MS8 package thermal performance compare to SO-8 for LT6011IMS8#PBF?
LT6011IMS8#PBF in MS8 has θJA = 220°C/W, significantly higher than SO-8's 190°C/W due to smaller footprint and thinner profile. To achieve comparable junction temperatures, the MS8 variant requires more aggressive PCB copper pour on the exposed V– pad and adjacent ground planes - confirmed in Package Description page 16.
Is LT6011IMS8#PBF pin-compatible with other LT6011 variants like LT6011IS8#PBF?
No - LT6011IMS8#PBF (MSOP-8) and LT6011IS8#PBF (SO-8) share identical pin functions but differ physically: MS8 has 0.65mm lead pitch and 3mm × 3mm body, while SO-8 uses 1.27mm pitch and 4.9mm × 3.9mm body. PCB layout and reflow profiles must be redesigned; they are not drop-in replacements.
