Product details
Overview
LTC1050HS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision zero-drift operational amplifier with integrated sample-and-hold capacitors, designed for ultra-low-offset DC-critical signal conditioning. It delivers 5µV max input offset voltage, 0.05µV/°C max drift, 1.6µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) noise, and 2.5MHz gain-bandwidth product at 1mA supply current - enabling thermocouple amplification, strain gauge interfaces, and medical instrumentation requiring sub-µV stability.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1050HS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1050HS8#PBF pinout, LTC1050HS8#PBF application, or LTC1050HS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed CMRR >120dB at DC and 60Hz, single-supply operation down to 4.75V, rail-to-rail output swing to ground, and internal clock synchronization via Pin 5 - all in an SO-8 package rated for –40°C to 125°C.
Technical Context
The LTC1050HS8#PBF uses chopper-stabilization with on-die sampling capacitors to eliminate external components required by legacy chopper amps like the LT1050 or ICL7650. Its dual-stage architecture combines auto-zeroing and chopping to achieve <0.01µV/°C typical drift and 160dB open-loop gain while maintaining 4V/µs slew rate.
Pin 5 supports optional TTL-compatible external clock input (÷4 internally), enabling noise spectral shaping and system-level synchronization. The device operates with dual ±2.375V to ±8V supplies or single 4.75V–16V, and features input common-mode range extending to both rails - critical for ground-referenced sensor front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | ±5µV max - enables direct measurement of µV-level thermocouple outputs without nulling circuitry |
| Offset Drift | ±0.05µV/°C max - ensures <1µV total drift over 20°C ambient change, critical for lab-grade instrumentation |
| Input Noise (0.1–10Hz) | 1.6µVP-P typ - supports 16-bit+ resolution in low-frequency data acquisition systems |
| CMRR | 120dB min at DC & 60Hz - rejects power-line interference in unshielded industrial sensor nodes |
| Supply Current | 1mA typ - allows battery-powered portable medical devices to operate >1 year on AA cells |
| Gain Bandwidth | 2.5MHz - sufficient for closed-loop gain ≥100 with phase margin >60° in precision filter designs |
| Slew Rate | 4V/µs - handles fast step recovery after overload (3ms typical) without settling errors in multiplexed DAQ |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8), RoHS-compliant, JEDEC MS-012AC, body size 3.9mm × 4.9mm × 1.75mm, thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practices |
| 2 (–IN) | Inverting Input | Differential input node with picoampere bias current - requires guard ring routing in high-impedance applications |
| 3 (+IN) | Noninverting Input | High-impedance input referenced to V–; thermocouple junctions must avoid dissimilar metal contacts |
| 4 (V–) | Negative Supply | Supports dual-supply (±5V) or single-supply (ground reference); common-mode range includes V– |
| 5 (EXT CLOCK) | External Clock Input | TTL-compatible sync input; internal oscillator disabled when driven - enables noise frequency shifting |
| 6 (OUT) | Output | Rail-to-rail swing to ground; drives 10kΩ loads with ±4.85V swing - suitable for ADC driver stages |
| 7 (V+) | Positive Supply | Accepts 4.75V–16V single or ±2.375V–±8V dual; PSRR >125dB minimizes supply ripple coupling |
| 8 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; no PCB trace required - reduces parasitic capacitance in sensitive layouts |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Sample-and-Hold Capacitors | Eliminates two external 1µF capacitors required by LT1050/ICL7650 - reduces BOM count and board area by 12mm² |
| Guaranteed Low-Frequency Noise | 100% lot-tested for 0.1Hz–10Hz noise - ensures specification compliance without screening in production test |
| Thermal EMF Mitigation Support | Specified warm-up drift dominated by package-induced copper/kovar junctions - guides thermal layout for <1µV error budgets |
| Overload Recovery Time | 3ms typical from negative saturation - 100× faster than chopper amps using external capacitors, improving multiplexer settling |
| Pin Compatibility with Legacy Choppers | Direct drop-in replacement for ICL7650/7652 in 8-pin SO/DIP packages - no PCB redesign needed if external caps are omitted |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LTC1050HS8#PBF?
The LTC1050HS8#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C, matching the H-grade temperature specification defined in the Linear Technology datasheet. This extended range supports deployment in automotive engine control modules, industrial motor drives, and outdoor environmental sensors where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits. The SO-8 package's θJA of 150°C/W ensures thermal reliability under continuous 1mA load at maximum ambient.
Does the LTC1050HS8#PBF require external capacitors for chopper stabilization?
No, the LTC1050HS8#PBF integrates on-die sample-and-hold capacitors, eliminating the two external 1µF capacitors required by predecessors like the ICL7650. Pins 1 and 8 are NC (no connect), confirming no external capacitor attachment points exist. This integration reduces PCB area, component count, and parasitic leakage paths - directly enabling the specified 5µV offset and 0.05µV/°C drift without external tuning.
Can the LTC1050HS8#PBF operate from a single 5V supply?
Yes, the LTC1050HS8#PBF supports single-supply operation from 4.75V to 16V, with guaranteed PSRR down to 4.75V. When powered from +5V and ground, the input common-mode range extends to V– (ground), and the output swings to within 150mV of ground - enabling direct interfacing with 5V ADCs and microcontrollers. The internal clock remains functional, and all DC specifications (offset, drift, CMRR) are maintained per the datasheet's single-supply test conditions.
What is the function of Pin 5 on the LTC1050HS8#PBF?
Pin 5 is the optional external clock input for the LTC1050HS8#PBF. When left floating, the internal oscillator runs at ~2.5kHz (sampling frequency), but applying a TTL-compatible square wave to Pin 5 overrides this and sets the sampling frequency to one-quarter of the input clock. This feature enables synchronized noise shaping across multiple LTC1050HS8#PBF devices in a system, reducing beat frequencies and improving overall SNR in multi-channel data acquisition.
How does the LTC1050HS8#PBF compare to the LT1050 in terms of performance?
The LTC1050HS8#PBF significantly outperforms the LT1050: it achieves 5µV vs. 25µV max offset, 0.05µV/°C vs. 0.5µV/°C max drift, and 1.6µVP-P vs. 3µVP-P low-frequency noise. Crucially, the LTC1050HS8#PBF integrates capacitors - whereas the LT1050 requires two external 1µF parts - and offers guaranteed 120dB CMRR at 60Hz, unlike the LT1050's unspecified AC rejection. Both share pin compatibility, enabling direct upgrade paths.
