Product details
Overview
LT6013CDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a single, rail-to-rail output precision operational amplifier optimized for low-noise, micro-power sensor interface and battery-powered instrumentation. It delivers 9.5nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1kHz, 145µA supply current per amplifier, and 35µV max input offset voltage (A-grade), operating from 2.7V to ±18V supplies in the 3mm × 3mm DFN-8 package.
For engineers reviewing the LT6013CDD#PBF datasheet, LT6013CDD#PBF pinout, LT6013CDD#PBF application, or LT6013CDD#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role, package mapping, thermal performance, noise behavior, gain stability constraints (AV ≥ 5), and validated alternative options for precision analog signal conditioning in thermocouple, photodiode, and instrumentation amplifier designs.
Technical Context
The LT6013CDD#PBF employs a decompensated internal architecture requiring minimum closed-loop gain of 5 for stability-unlike unity-gain stable op amps-and supports up to 500pF capacitive load at that gain. Its input stage uses on-chip bias current cancellation, yielding ≤250pA max input bias current (A-grade) and uncorrelated IB+ / IB– paths.
It features rail-to-rail output swing (within 40mV of rails at no load), 1.4MHz gain-bandwidth product, 0.2V/µs slew rate, and exceptional low-frequency noise performance: 40nVRMS (0.1Hz–10Hz). Input common-mode range is limited to V– + 1V to V+ – 1.2V, with guaranteed CMRR >107dB over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 145µA per amplifier - enables multi-year battery life in portable precision sensors. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 9.5nV/√Hz at 1kHz - preserves SNR in high-gain, low-level signal chains (e.g., thermocouples). |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤35µV (max, A-grade) - ensures <0.1% error in 35mV full-scale industrial sensor outputs. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1.4MHz - supports stable closed-loop bandwidths up to ~280kHz at AV = 5. |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail (40mV from rails, no load) - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3V or 5V single-supply systems. |
| Input Bias Current | ±250pA (max, A-grade) - permits use with >10MΩ source impedances without significant DC error. |
| Stability Condition | Minimum AV = 5 - prohibits unity-gain follower use without external compensation networks. |
Pinout & Package
LT6013CDD#PBF is housed in an 8-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with exposed metal pad connected to V– (optional PCB connection). Pin 1 is marked by top-side dot; underside metal improves thermal dissipation (θJA = 160°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | –IN | Inverting input - high-impedance node; requires guard ring routing in µV-level applications. |
| 2 | +IN | Non-inverting input - matched to –IN for CMRR; avoid thermal gradients across both traces. |
| 3 | V– | Negative supply rail - also connects to exposed underside metal pad for thermal management. |
| 4 | NC | No connect - internally unused; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines. |
| 5 | NC | No connect - identical to Pin 4; no internal connection. |
| 6 | V+ | Positive supply rail - supports 2.7V to 36V total supply range (±18V max). |
| 7 | OUT | Amplifier output - drives loads up to 500pF at AV ≥ 5; rail-to-rail swing enables low-voltage operation. |
| 8 | DNC | Do not connect - internal test node; must be left unconnected. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low 1/f noise | 200nVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - minimizes drift-induced errors in DC-coupled sensor front-ends. |
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings within 40mV of V+ and V– - recovers full 3.3V or 5V supply headroom for ADC interfacing. |
| High PSRR | 112dB min (2.7V–36V) - rejects power supply ripple without external filtering in noisy embedded systems. |
| Low VOS drift | 0.8µV/°C max - maintains calibration integrity across –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range. |
| High CMRR | 107dB min - rejects common-mode interference in differential sensor measurements (e.g., strain gauges). |
Applications
| Thermocouple Amplifiers | Precision Photodiode Amplifiers |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Amplifying µV-level Seebeck voltages from K-type thermocouples in HVAC controllers and industrial process monitors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary signal-conditioning amplifier with cold-junction compensation interface.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT6010CS6#TRMPBF | Unity-gain stable, 200pA IB, 14nV/√Hz noise, SOT-23-6 package | Supports buffer configurations; higher noise limits use in sub-100µV signal chains | Select when unity-gain operation is required and 14nV/√Hz noise is acceptable |
| OPA333AIDBVR | Zero-drift architecture, 0.02µV/°C drift, 5.5µV max VOS, 17µA supply current | Superior DC accuracy but lower GBW (350kHz); unsuitable for >100kHz closed-loop designs | Select for ultra-low drift in DC-coupled systems where bandwidth <350kHz suffices |
Compared with LT6013CDD#PBF, LT6010CS6#TRMPBF trades noise and gain stability for flexibility in unity-gain circuits, while OPA333AIDBVR sacrifices bandwidth and increases input capacitance (10pF) to achieve near-zero drift-making each suitable only for distinct precision analog design priorities.

FAQ
What is the minimum stable gain for LT6013CDD#PBF?
The LT6013CDD#PBF is decompensated and requires a minimum closed-loop gain of 5 (AV ≥ 5) for stability. Using it in unity-gain or gain-of-2 configurations without external compensation will cause oscillation. Figure 2 in the datasheet shows RC network methods to stabilize lower-gain configurations while preserving DC accuracy.
Does LT6013CDD#PBF support rail-to-rail input operation?
No. LT6013CDD#PBF has rail-to-rail *output* swing but a limited input common-mode range: V– + 1V to V+ – 1.2V. Applying signals outside this range causes gain collapse-not phase reversal-but may degrade CMRR and increase offset. For true rail-to-rail input, consider the LT1881 or OPA333 families.
What is the maximum capacitive load LT6013CDD#PBF can drive?
At AV = 5, LT6013CDD#PBF drives up to 500pF capacitive load stably. Driving larger loads requires either increasing closed-loop gain or adding a small series resistor (e.g., 10–50Ω) between the output and the capacitor to isolate the reactive load from the amplifier's feedback node.
Is LT6013CDD#PBF pin-compatible with LT6013CS8#PBF?
No. LT6013CDD#PBF uses an 8-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN package with different pinout and thermal pad configuration than the SO-8 LT6013CS8#PBF. The DFN places V– on Pin 3 and V+ on Pin 6, whereas SO-8 places V– on Pin 4 and V+ on Pin 8. PCB redesign is required for substitution.
What does the 'C' grade signify in LT6013CDD#PBF?
The 'C' grade in LT6013CDD#PBF indicates commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) operation with functional guarantee over –40°C to 85°C. Electrical specifications like 35µV max VOS and 250pA max IB apply only to the 'A' grade (LT6013ACDD#PBF); the 'C' grade has looser limits (e.g., 85µV max VOS at 0°C–70°C).
