Product details
Overview
LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, micropower precision CMOS operational amplifier with rail-to-rail input and output swing, 25 µV max offset voltage at 25°C, 0.7 µV/°C max offset drift, and 54 µA per amplifier supply current at 3 V - optimized for high-impedance sensor signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF application, or LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (8-lead MSOP), confirmed dual-amplifier topology, rail-to-rail I/O behavior, sub-50 pA bias current over temperature, and precise thermal hysteresis performance for microvolt-level DC-critical designs.
Technical Context
The LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF integrates two independent precision amplifiers sharing a common 2.7–5.5 V supply, each featuring complementary PMOS/NMOS input stages enabling true rail-to-rail common-mode input range and output swing within 15 mV of rails at 2 mA load. Its trimmed CMOS architecture achieves 95 dB min CMRR and 100 dB min PSRR across temperature.
It supports active shutdown via dedicated SHDN_A/SHDN_B pins only in the DFN-10 variant; the MS8 package (LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF) lacks shutdown functionality. Input noise density is 16 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz, and large-signal voltage gain exceeds 115 dB with 420 kHz gain-bandwidth product under 100 kΩ load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Offset Voltage | ±25 µV at 25°C - enables direct measurement of µV-level thermocouple or pH probe signals without nulling circuitry |
| Offset Drift | ±0.7 µV/°C max - ensures <1 µV total drift over 0–70°C industrial range, critical for unattended sensor logging |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA at 25°C, ≤50 pA up to 85°C - preserves accuracy with >1 GΩ feedback networks and photodiode sources |
| Supply Current per Amp | 54 µA at 3 V - allows dual-channel operation on coin-cell batteries for >5 years in low-duty-cycle IoT nodes |
| CMRR / PSRR | 95 dB / 100 dB min - rejects power supply ripple and common-mode interference in single-supply portable systems |
| Input Noise Density | 16 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - supports low-noise amplification of weak signals from accelerometers or humidity sensors |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O | Inputs operate V– to V+, outputs swing within 15 mV of rails at 2 mA - maximizes dynamic range in 3 V systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (MS8), 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad connected to V–.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 3 | +INA | Noninverting input of Amplifier A - accepts signals from V– to V+ with no phase reversal |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail - also connects to exposed thermal pad for improved heat dissipation |
| 5 | V+ | Positive supply rail - operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V; PSRR ≥100 dB minimizes supply noise coupling |
| 6 | OUTB | Amplifier B output - electrically isolated from OUTA; supports dual-channel signal paths |
| 7 | –INB | Inverting input of Amplifier B - matched to –INA for differential pair configurations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2051IMS8#TRPBF | Zero-drift architecture; 3 µV VOS, 30 nV/°C drift, 170 µA supply current - higher precision but 3× power draw | Better for ultra-stable DC offsets; less suitable for multi-year battery life requirements | Select when VOS drift dominates error budget over power constraints |
| LT6012IMS8#TRPBF | 60 µV VOS, 300 pA IB, 135 µA supply current - higher offset and bias, but wider GBW (1.9 MHz) | Preferred for higher-speed precision tasks (e.g., fast-settling sample-and-hold); not for µV-level DC | Select when bandwidth >1 MHz is required and 60 µV offset is acceptable |
Compared with LTC2051IMS8#TRPBF and LT6012IMS8#TRPBF, the LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF uniquely balances sub-25 µV offset, sub-50 pA bias, and micropower consumption - making it optimal for long-life, high-Z, DC-critical instrumentation where neither zero-drift complexity nor speed is needed.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF?
The LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to 85°C and guaranteed to meet all electrical specifications across that full range. Its "A" grade denotes enhanced initial offset trim (±25 µV max at 25°C) and tighter drift control (±0.7 µV/°C max), validated per Linear's production test flow for industrial applications.
Does the LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF support shutdown mode?
No, the LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF does not include shutdown functionality. Shutdown pins (SHDN_A/SHDN_B) are only present on the 10-lead DFN variant (LTC6078CDD#TRPBF). The MS8 package used in LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF omits these pins entirely - confirmed by the MS8 pinout diagram and package description in the datasheet.
What is the maximum capacitive load the LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF can drive stably?
The LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF can drive up to 200 pF in unity-gain configuration without oscillation, as verified in the "Capacitive Load" section of the datasheet. Stability improves with higher closed-loop gain; adding a small series resistor (e.g., 10–50 Ω) between output and load further increases drive capability for larger capacitances.
How does the LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF achieve rail-to-rail input operation?
The LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF uses a composite input stage combining PMOS and NMOS differential pairs. The NMOS pair operates at high common-mode voltages (near V+), while the PMOS pair activates at low common-mode voltages (near V–), enabling seamless transition and continuous operation from V– to V+ without input crossover distortion or dead zones.
Is the exposed pad on the LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF package electrically connected?
Yes, the exposed pad on the LTC6078ACMS8#TRPBF MS8 package is internally connected to the V– pin (pin 4), as explicitly stated in the "PACKAGE DESCRIPTION" section of the datasheet. It must be soldered to a PCB ground or negative supply plane for optimal thermal performance and electrical stability.
