Product details
Overview
LTC1100CN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision zero-drift instrumentation amplifier optimized for DC and low-frequency signal conditioning in high-accuracy sensor interfaces. It delivers fixed gain of 100, 1µV typical input offset voltage, 5nV/°C typical offset drift, and 1.9µVP-P 0.1Hz–10Hz noise - enabling thermocouple and strain gauge measurements with sub-microvolt resolution.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1100CN8#PBF datasheet, LTC1100CN8#PBF pinout, LTC1100CN8#PBF application, or LTC1100CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 10µV max offset, 100nV/°C max drift, 90dB min CMRR, 18kHz bandwidth at G=100, and operation from single 5V or dual ±8V supplies - all in an 8-pin PDIP package.
Technical Context
The LTC1100CN8#PBF uses chopper-stabilized architecture with internal sampling at 2.8kHz to achieve near-zero DC drift and eliminate 1/f noise. Its fully differential input stage and matched resistor network provide inherent gain accuracy without external components.
It integrates two precision op amps and a high-gain output stage in a self-contained topology: no external gain-setting resistors are required for its fixed G=100 configuration. The COMP pin enables bandwidth tailoring via external capacitor to suppress clock feedthrough and reduce aliasing in ultra-low-noise applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | Fixed 100× (no external resistor required - simplifies layout and eliminates gain error from component tolerance) |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤10µV max (enables direct measurement of µV-level sensor outputs without nulling circuitry) |
| Offset Drift | ≤100nV/°C max (ensures stable calibration over industrial temperature range −40°C to +85°C) |
| CMRR | ≥90dB (rejects common-mode interference from noisy industrial environments) |
| 0.1Hz–10Hz Noise | 1.9µVP-P (supports high-resolution DC measurements in weigh scales and medical sensors) |
| Supply Range | Single 5V or dual ±2.375V to ±8V (enables compatibility with legacy 5V systems and higher-voltage industrial rails) |
| Output Swing | ±7.5V into 10kΩ at ±8V supply (provides >300mV headroom to rails - avoids clipping near supply limits) |
| Bandwidth | 18kHz at G=100 (sufficient for static and quasi-static sensor signals while rejecting RF interference) |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic DIP (N8), 0.300-inch width, through-hole mounting. RoHS-compliant lead finish (matte tin over nickel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND REF | System ground reference for internal amplifiers - must connect to clean analog ground to maintain CMRR |
| 2 | CMRR | AC CMRR optimization node - connect 100kΩ + 10pF to ground to maximize rejection above DC |
| 3 | –VIN | Inverting input - forms differential pair with Pin 6; high-impedance (65pA max bias current) |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail - supports dual-supply operation down to −8V or single-supply ground reference |
| 5 | V+ | Positive supply rail - accepts up to +8V; enables single 5V operation when V– = GND |
| 6 | VIN | Noninverting input - complements Pin 3 for true differential input with 100dB DC CMRR |
| 7 | COMP | Bandwidth control node - add capacitor to VOUT to set dominant pole and suppress 2.8kHz sampling artifacts |
| 8 | VOUT | Differential-to-single-ended output - rail-to-rail capable within 300mV; drives 10kΩ loads directly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-drift architecture | Eliminates thermal drift and 1/f noise - maintains µV-level accuracy across temperature and time |
| Self-contained G=100 gain | No external resistors needed - removes gain error sources and board space for trimming networks |
| Chopper anti-aliasing | Integrated filtering attenuates aliasing products ≥60dB - reduces need for external anti-aliasing filters |
| Single-supply capability | Operates from 5V with inputs referenced to ground - simplifies power design in battery-powered sensors |
| Hermetic-grade stability | Specified over −40°C to +85°C with guaranteed 100nV/°C drift - suitable for unregulated industrial enclosures |
| Low input bias current | 65pA max - prevents loading errors in high-impedance pH electrodes and piezoresistive sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar instrumentation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8429ARZ | Lower noise (1.3nV/√Hz), wider bandwidth (4.5MHz), but requires external gain resistors and has higher offset drift (0.3µV/°C) | Better for high-speed, wideband biomedical acquisition; less suited for ultra-stable DC thermocouple apps | Select AD8429ARZ only if bandwidth >100kHz is required and external resistor placement is acceptable |
| LTC2053CMS8#PBF | Same zero-drift architecture, lower supply current (1.1mA vs 2.8mA), but G=100 requires external resistor and has higher 0.1–10Hz noise (3.5µVP-P) | Preferred for battery-powered portable instruments where power matters more than ultimate noise floor | Choose LTC2053CMS8#PBF when optimizing for <2mA supply current and can accommodate external gain setting |
Compared with LTC1100CN8#PBF, AD8429ARZ trades DC precision for speed and flexibility, while LTC2053CMS8#PBF sacrifices some noise performance and self-contained gain to reduce quiescent current - making LTC1100CN8#PBF optimal for fixed-gain, ultra-stable DC measurement where layout simplicity and long-term calibration integrity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LTC1100CN8#PBF?
The LTC1100CN8#PBF is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and supported by full electrical characterization across the range, including guaranteed 10µV max input offset and 100nV/°C max drift. It is not rated for extended military or automotive temperature grades.
Does the LTC1100CN8#PBF require external components to set gain?
No - the LTC1100CN8#PBF is internally configured for fixed gain of 100 and requires no external resistors or trim pots. This self-contained architecture eliminates gain error from resistor tolerance and temperature coefficient, delivering 0.075% max gain error and 20ppm max nonlinearity as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the LTC1100CN8#PBF operate from a single 5V supply?
Yes - the LTC1100CN8#PBF supports true single-supply operation from 5V (with V– tied to ground). Its input common-mode range includes ground, and output swings to within 300mV of both rails. However, differential input signals must remain positive, as negative inputs will saturate the output at zero volts.
What is the purpose of the COMP pin on the LTC1100CN8#PBF?
The COMP pin (Pin 7) on the LTC1100CN8#PBF allows bandwidth reduction by connecting an external capacitor to VOUT. This forms an RC filter with the internal 247kΩ resistor to suppress 2.8kHz sampling clock feedthrough and minimize aliasing - critical for ultra-low-noise DC applications like precision weigh scales and laboratory instruments.
Is the LTC1100CN8#PBF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the LTC1100CN8#PBF carries the #PBF suffix, indicating it is lead-free and RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin-plated leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), with unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
