Product details
Overview
LTC6244IMS8#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 input bias current, 1.5μVP-P 0.1Hz–10Hz noise, and ±40°C to +85°C operation in an 8-lead MSOP package - ideal for photodiode amplification and precision sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6244IMS8#PBF datasheet, LTC6244IMS8#PBF pinout, LTC6244IMS8#PBF application, or LTC6244IMS8#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package-validated pin functions, real-world use cases in transducer interfacing and active filtering, and two confirmed alternative op amps with documented performance trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LTC6244IMS8#PBF employs a low-noise folded-cascode input stage with laser-trimmed offset, enabling rail-to-rail output swing within 35mV of either supply while maintaining input common-mode range to the negative rail. Its CMOS architecture ensures ultra-low input bias current and 2.1pF input capacitance - critical for high-impedance photodiode and piezoelectric sensor interfaces.
It features internal compensation for unity-gain stability across 2.8V to 6V single-supply or ±2.5V to ±5V dual-supply operation, with guaranteed 50MHz GBW and 330ns settling time to 0.1% for 2V steps. The MS8 package variant is specified over –40°C to +85°C with max 100μV offset and 2.5μV/°C drift.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 50MHz - supports stable closed-loop operation up to 50MHz at unity gain, enabling wideband active filters and fast pulse amplification. |
| Slew Rate | 40V/μs - enables clean reproduction of 10VPP signals up to ~3.2MHz without slewing distortion. |
| Input Bias Current | 1pA (typ @ 25°C) - preserves signal integrity in >1GΩ source impedance applications like photodiode and pH electrode circuits. |
| 0.1Hz–10Hz Noise | 1.5μVP-P - minimizes baseline drift in DC-coupled, low-frequency instrumentation such as medical ECG front-ends. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 100μV (max) - ensures <±0.1% error in 100mV full-scale sensor outputs without external trimming. |
| Supply Range | 2.8V to 6V (single), ±2.5V to ±5V (dual) - operates from Li-ion battery voltage down to brownout threshold with rail-to-rail output. |
| Output Swing | Within 35mV of rails (ISINK/ISOURCE = 1mA) - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage systems, e.g., 3.3V ADC drivers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic MSOP (MS8), 3mm × 3mm body, exposed pad optional (connected to V– per datasheet).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT A | Amplifier A output | Delivers rail-to-rail output voltage; capable of sourcing/sinking ≥1mA with <35mV saturation. |

| 3 - +IN A | Non-inverting input A | Same electrical characteristics as –IN A; common-mode range extends to V–. |
| 4 - V– | Negative supply / ground reference | Power return path; exposed pad (Pin 9) is internally connected to V– and may be PCB-connected for thermal relief. |
| 5 - V+ | Positive supply | Accepts 2.8V–6V single supply or positive rail of ±2.5V–±5V dual supply; PSRR = 75dB min. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Operates within 35mV of V+ and V– at 1mA load - preserves >98% of available voltage headroom in 3.3V systems. |
| Ultra-low 1/f noise | 1.5μVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - avoids baseline wander in DC-coupled sensor amplifiers where chopper-stabilized amps introduce switching artifacts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, low-noise op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADA4898-2ARMZ | Higher 1GHz GBW but 2.7nV/√Hz noise (vs. 12nV/√Hz typ for LTC6244IMS8#PBF); 2.5mA supply current (vs. 7.4mA). | Better for >100MHz small-signal AC coupling; less suitable for DC-coupled photodiode amps due to higher noise floor. | Select ADA4898-2ARMZ only when bandwidth >200MHz is required and 1/f noise is not critical. |
| OPA2189IDR | Zero-drift architecture; 0.005μV/°C drift (vs. 2.5μV/°C); 5.6nV/√Hz noise (vs. 12nV/√Hz); 5.6mA supply current. | Superior DC accuracy for <1Hz applications; slower 2.7MHz GBW limits use in >100kHz active filters. | Choose OPA2189IDR for sub-microvolt offset stability over temperature, but avoid where >10MHz signal bandwidth is needed. |
Compared with ADA4898-2ARMZ and OPA2189IDR, the LTC6244IMS8#PBF uniquely balances 50MHz bandwidth, 1pA bias current, and 1.5μVP-P 0.1Hz–10Hz noise - making it optimal for high-Z, wideband, DC-coupled sensor interfaces where neither pure speed nor pure DC precision dominates.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for the LTC6244IMS8#PBF?
The LTC6244IMS8#PBF has an absolute maximum total supply voltage (V+ to V–) of 7V. It is fully specified for operation from 2.8V to 6V on single supply, or ±2.5V to ±5V on dual supply. Exceeding 6V on single supply or ±5V on dual supply risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LTC6244IMS8#PBF support rail-to-rail input common-mode range?
No - the LTC6244IMS8#PBF supports rail-to-rail *output* swing but its input common-mode range extends only to the negative rail (V–) and up to V+ – 1.5V. For example, with 5V supply, valid input range is 0V to 3.5V. Input voltages beyond this range degrade CMRR and may cause instability.
Can the LTC6244IMS8#PBF drive capacitive loads directly?
The LTC6244IMS8#PBF can drive moderate capacitive loads (≤100pF) without external isolation, but larger loads (>200pF) require a series resistor (e.g., 10Ω–50Ω) between output and load to maintain stability. Datasheet Figure 30–32 shows overshoot vs. capacitive load with and without series resistance.
What is the typical input bias current of the LTC6244IMS8#PBF at 85°C?
The LTC6244IMS8#PBF maintains ultra-low input bias current across temperature: 1pA typical at 25°C and ≤75pA maximum at –40°C to +85°C (per Electrical Characteristics table, MS8 package, I-grade). This enables reliable operation in high-impedance circuits even at elevated ambient temperatures.
Is the exposed pad on the MS8 package of the LTC6244IMS8#PBF electrically connected?
Yes - the exposed pad (Pin 9) on the LTC6244IMS8#PBF MS8 package is internally connected to V–. Datasheet Pin Configuration explicitly states "EXPOSED PAD (PIN 9) CONNECTED TO V–", and PCB connection is optional but recommended for improved thermal performance and lower junction temperature.
