Product details
Overview
LT6020IMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual, micropower, precision rail-to-rail output operational amplifier in an 8-lead MSOP package. It delivers 5 V/µs slew rate, 30 µV max input offset voltage, 400 kHz gain-bandwidth product, and operates from 3 V to 30 V supplies - enabling high-accuracy signal conditioning in low-power multiplexed ADC and DAC buffer applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT6020IMS8#PBF datasheet, LT6020IMS8#PBF pinout, LT6020IMS8#PBF application, or LT6020IMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 µA/amplifier supply current, ±0.2 µV/°C max offset drift, rail-to-rail output swing within 100 mV of rails, fast 7.8 µs 0.01% settling time, and absence of output phase inversion under overdrive.
Technical Context
The LT6020IMS8#PBF uses a proprietary bipolar input stage combining NPN and PNP differential pairs to maintain high dynamic input impedance during large input transients (up to 5 V), eliminating back-to-back diode conduction common in standard bipolar op amps. This architecture enables stable operation in multiplexer-driven inputs without external clamping.
Its enhanced slew rate scales with input step size (e.g., 5 V/µs for 10 V step, 2.4 V/µs for 5 V step), while preserving precision specs: 120 dB CMRR, 120 dB PSRR, and 110 dB open-loop gain at 10 kΩ load. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C (I-grade) and supports single- or dual-supply configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Slew Rate | 5 V/µs (10 V step, AV = 1) - enables fast settling in DAC output buffering and MUX channel switching |
| Input Offset Voltage | 30 µV max (MS8, –40°C to +85°C) - ensures <1 LSB error in 16-bit systems with ±10 V full-scale |
| Supply Current | 100 µA per amplifier - allows battery-powered operation for >1 year in wireless sensor nodes |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 400 kHz - supports stable unity-gain and low-noise gain-of-10 configurations up to ~40 kHz |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail: within 100 mV of V– and 80 mV of V+ (RL = 10 kΩ) - maximizes dynamic range in 3 V–5 V systems |
| Input Offset Drift | ±0.2 µV/°C max - contributes <1 µV total drift over 0–70°C ambient, critical for precision thermocouple amplification |
| Settling Time | 7.8 µs to 0.01% (5 V step) - meets timing budget for 100 kSPS multiplexed data acquisition |
Pinout & Package
LT6020IMS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic MSOP package (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) with exposed pad connected to V–. Thermal resistance θJA = 163°C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT A) | Amplifier A output | Drives loads up to ±5.5 mA; rail-to-rail swing with <100 mV saturation voltage |
| 2 (–IN A) | Inverting input A | High-impedance node (17 GΩ common-mode); accepts input within V– +1.2 V to V+ –1.4 V |
| 3 (+IN A) | Noninverting input A | Matches –IN A bias current; enables precision instrumentation and reference buffering |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply rail | Reference for both amplifiers and exposed thermal pad; requires local 0.1 µF bypass |
| 5 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts 3 V to 30 V; PSRR >120 dB ensures immunity to supply ripple |
| 6 (OUT B) | Amplifier B output | Independent output; identical specs to OUT A - enables dual-channel signal paths |
| 7 (–IN B) | Inverting input B | Electrically isolated from –IN A; supports independent feedback networks |
| 8 (+IN B) | Noninverting input B | Enables dual-channel noninverting gain stages or matched differential pair configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output phase inversion | Guaranteed operation without polarity reversal even when inputs exceed common-mode range - eliminates latch-up risk in comparator-like overdrive conditions |
| High dynamic input impedance | Maintains >17 GΩ input resistance during 5 V input steps - prevents transient loading of multiplexer outputs and preserves channel settling accuracy |
| Fast recovery from overdrive | Recovers from ±13.5 V output overdrive in <100 µs - enables rapid reacquisition after input transients in data loggers |
| Low 1/f noise | 1.1 µVP-P (0.1–10 Hz) - minimizes drift-induced errors in DC-coupled sensor front-ends and weigh scale amplifiers |
| Wide supply range | Operates from 3 V to 30 V single or split supply - supports legacy industrial 24 V systems and modern ultra-low-voltage IoT nodes |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8628ARMZ | Single-channel, 1 µV max VOS, 2.5 V/µs slew, 2.7–5.5 V supply only | Lacks dual-channel integration; unsuitable for space-constrained dual-signal paths | Select when ultra-low offset dominates over channel count and supply flexibility |
| OPA2333AIDR | Dual-channel, zero-drift architecture, 2 µV max VOS, 160 kHz GBW, 17 µA/amplifier | Lower power but slower settling (16 µs to 0.01%) and reduced output drive (±15 mA) | Select when long-term drift stability is critical and bandwidth ≤100 kHz suffices |
Compared with AD8628ARMZ and OPA2333AIDR, the LT6020IMS8#PBF uniquely balances dual-channel integration, 5 V/µs slew rate, wide 3–30 V supply range, and micropower consumption - making it optimal for multiplexed, battery-aware, and industrial-grade precision analog signal chains where both speed and accuracy must coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LT6020IMS8#PBF?
The LT6020IMS8#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C (I-grade). This specification is confirmed in the Order Information table on page 3 of the official datasheet, where LT6020IMS8#PBF is explicitly listed with "–40°C to 85°C" under Temperature Range. It is not rated for the extended H-grade (–40°C to +125°C) offered by the LT6020HMS8#PBF variant.
Does the LT6020IMS8#PBF include shutdown functionality?
No, the LT6020IMS8#PBF does not include shutdown functionality. Shutdown capability is exclusive to the LT6020-1 variants (e.g., LT6020IMS8-1#PBF), which feature EN and DGND pins. The LT6020IMS8#PBF is the standard dual-amplifier version without enable control - confirmed by the Pin Configuration diagrams (pages 2–3), where only pins 1–8 are defined, and EN/DGND are absent.
What is the typical input bias current of the LT6020IMS8#PBF at 25°C?
The typical input bias current of the LT6020IMS8#PBF is ±1 nA at 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 5 of the datasheet. This value applies to the MS8 package and reflects the bipolar input stage's balanced NPN/PNP design, allowing bias current to flow in or out of either input pin depending on common-mode voltage.
Can the LT6020IMS8#PBF drive a 100 pF capacitive load stably in unity gain?
Yes, the LT6020IMS8#PBF can drive up to 100 pF capacitive load stably in unity gain, as stated in the Applications Information section on page 14. The datasheet confirms this capability and notes that driving ability improves at higher closed-loop gains; for loads exceeding 100 pF, adding a small series resistor (e.g., 10–50 Ω) between output and load restores stability.
Is the LT6020IMS8#PBF pin-compatible with other MSOP-8 op amps like the OP297 or ADA4077?
No, the LT6020IMS8#PBF is not pin-compatible with OP297 or ADA4077. Its pinout (OUT A, –IN A, +IN A, V–, V+, OUT B, –IN B, +IN B) differs fundamentally from industry-standard dual-op-amp MSOP-8 layouts (e.g., OP297 uses V–, OUT A, –IN A, +IN A, +IN B, –IN B, OUT B, V+). Substitution requires PCB layout revision - verified by comparing the LT6020MS8 top view (page 2) against OP297 and ADA4077 package drawings.
