Product details
Overview
LTC6244CMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual, rail-to-rail output, unity-gain stable CMOS operational amplifier optimized for low-noise, high-speed signal conditioning. It delivers 50MHz gain bandwidth, 40V/μs slew rate, 1pA typical input bias current, 1.5μVP-P 0.1Hz–10Hz noise, and operates from 2.8V to 6V single supply - making it ideal for photodiode amplification in precision optical sensing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6244CMS8#PBF datasheet, LTC6244CMS8#PBF pinout, LTC6244CMS8#PBF application, or LTC6244CMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low input bias current for high-impedance transducer interfaces, guaranteed rail-to-rail output swing within 35mV of rails, and MS8 package compatibility with space-constrained analog front-ends in medical instrumentation and test equipment.
Technical Context
The LTC6244CMS8#PBF employs a folded-cascode input stage with laser-trimmed MOSFETs to achieve low offset voltage (≤100μV) and minimal drift (≤2.5μV/°C), while maintaining full rail-to-rail output swing via a differential drive generator. Its input common-mode range extends to the negative rail, enabling true single-supply operation in sensor interface circuits.
It features low input capacitance (2.1pF common-mode), high CMRR (≥74dB), and robust PSRR (≥75dB), ensuring stability and accuracy in noisy industrial environments. The device is fully specified at 0°C to 70°C for the C-grade MS8 variant and supports ±5V operation only in HV versions - not applicable to this specific part number.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 50MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to 50MHz at unity gain for fast pulse amplification. |
| Slew Rate | 40V/μs - supports clean 3VP-P output signals up to ~3.2MHz full-power bandwidth without distortion. |
| Input Bias Current | 1pA (typ @ 25°C) - preserves signal integrity in >1GΩ source impedance applications like photodiode amps. |
| 0.1Hz–10Hz Noise | 1.5μVP-P - critical for low-frequency precision measurement where 1/f noise dominates. |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail, within 35mV of V+ and V− - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage (2.8V–6V) systems. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.8V to 6V single supply - compatible with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 100μV max (0°C to 70°C) - ensures <0.002% error in 5V full-scale precision gain stages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic MSOP (MS8), 3mm × 3mm footprint, exposed pad optional (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT A | Amplifier A output | Drives external load; rail-to-rail swing supports maximum signal headroom. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-noise op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADA4898-2ARMZ | Higher 1GHz GBW but 2.4nV/√Hz noise at 1kHz; 10x higher supply current (18mA vs 7.4mA); SOIC-8 only. | Better for RF/IF gain stages; unsuitable for battery-powered low-noise DC apps due to power and noise trade-off. | Select only when >100MHz bandwidth is mandatory and power budget allows. |
| OPA2189IDR | Zero-drift architecture; 0.005μV/°C drift vs 2.5μV/°C; but 5.6nV/√Hz noise and 100pA IB limit photodiode use. | Superior for DC-stable thermocouple amps; cannot replace LTC6244CMS8#PBF in high-Z, low-noise AC-coupled sensor paths. | Choose for ultra-low drift in precision weigh scales; avoid where 1/f noise or pA bias current is critical. |
Compared with ADA4898-2ARMZ and OPA2189IDR, the LTC6244CMS8#PBF uniquely balances sub-pA input bias, 1.5μVP-P 1/f noise, and 50MHz bandwidth in an MS8 package - making it irreplaceable for photodiode and high-impedance transducer front-ends requiring both speed and ultra-low leakage.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LTC6244CMS8#PBF?
The LTC6244CMS8#PBF is rated for operation from 0°C to 70°C (Commercial grade). It is not qualified for industrial (–40°C to 85°C) or automotive temperature ranges - those require the IMS8 or HMS8 variants. Thermal derating is required above 70°C ambient, as θJA = 250°C/W limits junction temperature under sustained load.
Does the LTC6244CMS8#PBF support dual ±5V supplies?
No, the LTC6244CMS8#PBF is specified only for single-supply operation from 2.8V to 6V. The ±5V capability applies exclusively to HV variants (e.g., LTC6244HVCMS8#PBF), which have different internal biasing and absolute maximum ratings. Using ±5V on LTC6244CMS8#PBF exceeds its 7V total supply rating and risks permanent damage.
Can the LTC6244CMS8#PBF drive capacitive loads directly?
The LTC6244CMS8#PBF can drive up to 100pF capacitive load with minimal overshoot (<10%) when series resistance (RS) ≥10Ω is used. Driving >100pF directly causes instability; for larger loads (e.g., ADC inputs), add a 10Ω–50Ω isolation resistor per output as shown in Figure 30 of the datasheet to maintain phase margin.
What is the input common-mode voltage range for the LTC6244CMS8#PBF?
For the LTC6244CMS8#PBF, the input common-mode voltage range extends from V− to (V+ − 1.5V) under normal operation. At 5V supply, this is 0V to 3.5V. Exceeding this range - especially approaching V+ - may cause instability or phase inversion, particularly in unity-gain follower configurations.
Is the exposed pad on the MS8 package of the LTC6244CMS8#PBF electrically connected?
No, the exposed pad on the LTC6244CMS8#PBF MS8 package is not electrically connected to any internal node. It is thermally conductive and may be soldered to a ground or power plane for improved thermal dissipation, but must not be used as a signal or supply connection. Datasheet confirms "PCB connection optional" and no internal bond wire attaches to it.
