Product details
Overview
LT6221CDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual, rail-to-rail input and output precision operational amplifier in an 8-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN package. It delivers 60MHz gain-bandwidth product, 20V/µs slew rate, 1mA max supply current per amplifier, <350µV input offset voltage, and rail-to-rail output swing within 10mV of either supply rail - enabling high-fidelity signal conditioning in low-voltage, space-constrained data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT6221CDD#PBF datasheet, LT6221CDD#PBF pinout, LT6221CDD#PBF application, or LT6221CDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 0°C to 70°C operation, dual-channel matching performance (e.g., <150µV input offset match), low 10nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and compatibility with single-supply (2.2V–12.6V) and split-supply (±2.5V to ±5V) configurations.
Technical Context
The LT6221CDD#PBF employs a composite PNP/NPN input stage that automatically transitions between transistor pairs across the full input common-mode range (from VS– to VS+), eliminating phase reversal and ensuring stable operation when inputs exceed rails. Its output stage uses complementary Class AB architecture to sustain 50mA typical output current while maintaining rail-to-rail swing under load.
Internally compensated for unity-gain stability, the device achieves 60MHz GBW with 102dB typical CMRR and 105dB PSRR - critical for driving SAR ADCs and active filters where DC accuracy and AC rejection must coexist. The DFN package's exposed pad (internally connected to VS–) supports thermal management at TJMAX = 125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 60MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to ~5MHz at AV = 12, suitable for anti-aliasing and reconstruction filters. |
| Slew Rate | 20V/µs - supports full-scale 4Vpp output at 1.25MHz without slewing distortion in video or fast-settling applications. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 350µV max - ensures ≤0.007% gain error in 5V full-scale instrumentation amplifiers. |
| Supply Current per Amp | 1mA max - allows dual-channel operation at <2.1mW from 5V, ideal for battery-powered sensor front-ends. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 10nV/√Hz @ 10kHz - contributes <1.4µVrms integrated noise in 100kHz bandwidth, preserving SNR in precision measurement. |
| Output Swing | Within 10mV of rails @ no load - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3V systems, delivering >3.28Vpp output swing. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 102dB typ - rejects >100,000:1 of power supply or ground noise coupling into differential signals. |
Pinout & Package
LT6221CDD#PBF is housed in an 8-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed pad internally connected to VS–. PCB layout requires thermal connection of the exposed pad to a VS– plane for optimal junction temperature control (θJA = 160°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: OUT A | Amplifier A output | Capable of sourcing/sinking ≥20mA while maintaining rail-to-rail swing; requires local 0.1µF bypass to VS–. |
| 2: –IN A | Inverting input A | High-impedance node (2pF input capacitance); sensitive to layout-induced parasitic capacitance affecting stability. |
| 3: +IN A | Non-inverting input A | Matches –IN A in bias current (<150nA max); use symmetric trace routing to minimize offset drift. |
| 4: VS– | Negative supply / ground reference | Internal connection point for exposed pad; must be low-inductance path to system ground or negative rail. |
| 5: VS+ | Positive supply | Accepts 2.2V–12.6V single supply or positive rail of split supply; bypass with 1µF ceramic + 0.1µF ceramic. |
| 6: OUT B | Amplifier B output | Electrically identical to OUT A; independent channel enables dual-path signal processing without crosstalk. |
| 7: –IN B | Inverting input B | Channel-to-channel input offset match ≤150µV ensures matched gain/phase response in differential configurations. |
| 8: +IN B | Non-inverting input B | Same input structure as +IN A; PNP/NPN auto-switching preserves rail-to-rail operation across full common-mode range. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input and output | Operates with VCM = VS– to VS+ and VOUT = VS– +10mV to VS+ –10mV, enabling true single-supply 3.3V data acquisition. |
| Low input bias current | <150nA max ensures <1.5mV error across 10MΩ source impedance - critical for high-Z sensor interfaces. |
| High DC precision | 350µV max VOS and 100V/mV open-loop gain support 16-bit+ resolution in closed-loop configurations. |
| Wide supply range | 2.2V–12.6V operation allows direct interface with Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB (5V), and industrial (±5V) supplies without regulation. |
| Robust input protection | Back-to-back diodes clamp differential input voltage to ±1.4V; safe for overvoltage events up to ±10mA input current. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8620ARMZ | Higher 12MHz GBW, lower 1.5nV/√Hz noise, but only 2.5V–12V supply range and no rail-to-rail output. | Better for ultra-low-noise audio preamps; unsuitable for 3.3V rail-to-rail output stages. | Select AD8620ARMZ only when sub-2nV/√Hz noise dominates over output swing requirements. |
| OPA2350UA | Similar 38MHz GBW and rail-to-rail I/O, but higher 5.5mA supply current and 6mV max VOS at 85°C. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial sensors where 1mA quiescent current is not critical. | Choose OPA2350UA if budget constraints outweigh low-power and precision needs in non-battery applications. |
Compared with AD8620ARMZ and OPA2350UA, the LT6221CDD#PBF uniquely balances 60MHz bandwidth, 1mA supply current, rail-to-rail output, and 350µV VOS - making it optimal for portable, high-speed, precision analog front-ends where power, accuracy, and voltage headroom are simultaneously constrained.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the LT6221CDD#PBF?
The LT6221CDD#PBF is characterized and guaranteed over 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature. While functional from –40°C to 85°C, only the 0°C to 70°C range is fully tested and specified per datasheet limits - including input offset voltage (≤350µV), supply current (≤1mA), and gain-bandwidth (≥60MHz). For extended temperature designs, consult the LT6221IDD#PBF variant.
Does the LT6221CDD#PBF support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LT6221CDD#PBF supports true single-supply operation from 2.2V to 12.6V. Its rail-to-rail input stage accepts common-mode voltages from VS– to VS+, and its rail-to-rail output swings within 10mV of both rails - enabling direct interfacing with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers and ADCs without level-shifting circuitry.
How does the LT6221CDD#PBF achieve rail-to-rail input capability?
The LT6221CDD#PBF uses a composite input stage with parallel PNP and NPN differential pairs. A steering circuit (Q5/Q6/Q7) automatically activates the NPN pair as the input approaches VS+, and the PNP pair near VS–, ensuring continuous conduction and no phase reversal across the full 0V to VS+ common-mode range - a key differentiator from conventional single-pair op amps.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for the exposed pad on the LT6221CDD#PBF DFN package?
The exposed pad of the LT6221CDD#PBF is internally connected to VS–. For optimal thermal performance (θJA = 160°C/W), it must be soldered to a dedicated VS– copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) connecting to an internal or bottom-layer ground plane. Avoid floating or unconnected pads, which degrade thermal resistance by >40%.
Can the LT6221CDD#PBF drive heavy capacitive loads directly?
The LT6221CDD#PBF is not unity-gain stable into large capacitive loads. Driving >100pF directly causes peaking and potential oscillation. For capacitive loads >50pF, use a series isolation resistor (ROS = 10Ω–50Ω) between the output and load, as validated in Figure 32 of the datasheet - this maintains stability while preserving bandwidth and settling time.
