Product details
Overview
LTC2068HUD#PBF from Analog Devices is a quad-channel, zero-drift, micropower operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-power precision signal conditioning in battery-constrained and energy-harvesting systems. It delivers 10 µA maximum supply current per amplifier, 5 µV max input offset voltage, 0.02 µV/°C max offset drift, rail-to-rail input/output operation, and integrated EMI filtering with 90 dB rejection at 1.8 GHz - enabling high-resolution current sensing and sensor interfacing down to sub-µA quiescent levels.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2068HUD#PBF datasheet, LTC2068HUD#PBF pinout, LTC2068HUD#PBF application, or LTC2068HUD#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role (precision low-noise op-amp), package mapping (16-lead 3mm × 3mm QFN), validated pin functions, temperature-grade specification (–40°C to 125°C), and two confirmed alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The LTC2068HUD#PBF implements a self-calibrating chopper-stabilized architecture with 25 kHz internal chopping frequency, eliminating 1/f noise and drift while suppressing idle tones. Its MOSFET input stage achieves ≤35 pA typical input bias current at 25°C and ≤150 pA over –40°C to 125°C, enabling use with multi-MΩ feedback networks without significant DC error.
It features an integrated EMI filter delivering 90 dB rejection at 1.8 GHz, rail-to-rail input common-mode range (V– – 0.1 V to V+ + 0.1 V), and shutdown mode with ≤170 nA per amplifier supply current. The device maintains 100 kHz gain-bandwidth product and 140 dB open-loop gain under 5 V supply, supporting stable closed-loop configurations across its 1.7 V to 5.25 V operating range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision micropower op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8628ARZ-REEL7 | Single-channel, 1 µA supply current, 1 µV max offset, but no shutdown pin and only 8-lead SOIC package. | Not suitable for quad-channel space-constrained designs; lacks integrated EMI filtering and low-charge power-up. | Select when single-channel operation and lowest possible quiescent current dominate over channel count and RF immunity. |
| OPA333AIDR | Dual-channel, 17 µA supply current, 10 µV max offset, shutdown pin, but no specified EMI rejection and only 8-lead SOIC. | Higher power draw limits battery life; lacks 90 dB EMI rejection needed in industrial wireless gateways. | Select when dual-channel operation suffices and cost sensitivity outweighs EMI performance and ultra-low IQ requirements. |
Compared with AD8628ARZ-REEL7 and OPA333AIDR, the LTC2068HUD#PBF uniquely combines quad-channel integration, 10 µA max IQ, 90 dB EMI rejection, and –40°C to 125°C H-grade qualification - making it the only option for compact, robust, long-life precision sensing in harsh or space-limited environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LTC2068HUD#PBF?
The LTC2068HUD#PBF is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C, as confirmed by its "H" grade designation in the order information table and full electrical specifications over that range. This makes it suitable for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and outdoor sensor applications where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C.
Does the LTC2068HUD#PBF require external capacitors on the SHDN pin for stable operation?
No, the LTC2068HUD#PBF does not require external capacitors on the SHDN pin. The shutdown control is CMOS-compatible with logic thresholds referenced to V– (VH = 1.8 V min, VL = 0.8 V max), and internal hysteresis ensures clean transitions. External filtering is unnecessary unless system-level noise coupling demands additional board-level RC filtering.
How is the exposed thermal pad (Pin 17) of the LTC2068HUD#PBF connected, and why is it mandatory?
The exposed pad (Pin 17) of the LTC2068HUD#PBF must be soldered and electrically connected to V– (Pin 10), as explicitly stated in the QFN16 package drawing. This connection provides critical thermal conduction to the PCB ground plane and ensures proper internal biasing - failure to connect it risks thermal runaway, parametric shift, and non-compliance with the specified θJA = 68°C/W.
Can the LTC2068HUD#PBF drive a 10kΩ load while maintaining rail-to-rail output swing?
Yes, the LTC2068HUD#PBF maintains rail-to-rail output swing into 10kΩ loads: VOH (V+ – VOUT) is ≤15 mV and VOL (VOUT – V–) is ≤15 mV at 25°C, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This ensures ≥99.5% of full-scale dynamic range is preserved even with moderate output loading - critical for driving SAR ADC references or low-power comparators.
What is the purpose of the integrated EMI filter in the LTC2068HUD#PBF, and how is its performance quantified?
The integrated EMI filter in the LTC2068HUD#PBF suppresses RF rectification artifacts induced by high-frequency interference (e.g., GSM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth). Its performance is quantified as EMIRR = 90 dB at 1.8 GHz - meaning a 100 mVPK RF signal induces only 10 nV of offset shift - directly measured and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under EMIRR parameter.
