Product details
Overview
LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual, rail-to-rail input/output, micropower operational amplifier in an 8-lead TSOT-23 package. It delivers 6.5MHz gain-bandwidth product, 4.5MHz –3dB bandwidth at unity gain, and ultra-low 65µA supply current per amplifier across 1.8V to 5.25V supply range. Its C-Load™ architecture drives up to 100nF capacitive loads stably - ideal for low-power sensor signal conditioning in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF pinout, LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF application, or LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown capability (7µA max), ±350µV offset voltage, 100dB CMRR/PSRR, rail-to-rail I/O swing within 30mV of rails, and compatibility with 1.8V battery-powered systems requiring precision and stability.
Technical Context
The LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF employs a dual-input PNP/NPN composite front-end that enables true rail-to-rail input operation (–0.1V to V+ + 0.1V) and maintains low input bias current (≤50nA) over 0.2V–(V+–0.2V) common-mode range. Its patented C-Load™ compensation ensures unity-gain stability with capacitive loads up to 100nF without external compensation.
It integrates active low SHDN control (VIH = 1.5V, VIL = 0.6V) enabling fast turn-on/off (tON = 50µs, tOFF = 20µs at 5V) and high-impedance output state during shutdown. The device operates across –40°C to 85°C (I-grade), with guaranteed 100dB CMRR and PSRR over full temperature and supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 6.5MHz - enables stable unity-gain buffer or gain-of-10 amplification up to 650kHz without phase margin loss. |
| Supply Current per Amplifier | 65µA max - supports >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors with 200µA system budget. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±350µV max - ensures <0.1% error in 3.3V full-scale 12-bit ADC front-ends without trimming. |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O Swing | Within 30mV of V– and V+ - preserves dynamic range in 1.8V single-supply systems with 0–1.8V input signals. |
| Capacitive Load Drive | 100nF stable in unity gain - eliminates need for isolation resistor when driving SAR ADC sample capacitors or LCD bias networks. |
| CMRR / PSRR | 100dB min - rejects power rail noise and common-mode interference in noisy automotive or industrial environments. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic TSOT-23 (TS8), 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 0.8mm, exposed pad not connected (non-functional).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply rail | Accepts 1.8V–5.25V; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor directly to V– for stability. |
| OUTA | Amplifier A output | Rail-to-rail capable; high-impedance during SHDN assertion. |
| –INA | Inverting input A | Operates from V– – 0.1V to V+ + 0.1V; protected by back-to-back diodes. |
| +INA | Non-inverting input A | Same voltage range as –INA; matched bias current cancellation improves CMRR. |
| OUTB | Amplifier B output | Independent output; shares no internal nodes with OUTA - suitable for dual-channel filtering. |
| –INB | Inverting input B | Electrically isolated from channel A; enables independent feedback networks. |
| +INB | Non-inverting input B | Full rail-to-rail common-mode range; identical specs to +INA. |
| V– | Negative supply rail | Typically ground; supports split supplies if V+–V– ∈ [1.8V, 5.25V]. |
Key Features

|---|---|
| C-Load™ capacitive drive | Stable with 100nF load in unity gain - eliminates external isolation resistors in ADC driver and filter applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV9002IDR | Lower GBW (1MHz), higher supply current (60µA typ but 120µA max), no shutdown pin, 3.6V max supply. | Suitable only for non-shutdown, lower-bandwidth (<100kHz) applications with 3.3V supply constraint. | Select TLV9002IDR only if cost sensitivity outweighs need for 6.5MHz BW, shutdown, or 1.8V operation. |
| OPA2313AIDR | Higher offset (±1.25mV), no shutdown, 1.8V–5.5V supply, 1MHz GBW, 50µA supply current. | Acceptable for non-precision, always-on signal chains where 12-bit accuracy is sufficient. | Choose OPA2313AIDR when offset tolerance >1mV is acceptable and PCB space allows larger SOIC-8 vs TSOT-23. |
Compared with TLV9002IDR and OPA2313AIDR, LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF uniquely combines 6.5MHz GBW, 65µA supply current, active shutdown, and 1.8V operation in a 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint - making it the only option for high-accuracy, battery-constrained, wide-bandwidth dual-amplifier functions.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF can drive stably in unity-gain configuration?
The LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF is specified to drive up to 100nF capacitive loads stably in unity-gain configuration without external compensation, thanks to its proprietary C-Load™ architecture. This capability is verified across –40°C to 85°C and 1.8V–5.25V supply range, making LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF ideal for direct interfacing with SAR ADC input capacitors and LC filter outputs.
Does the LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF support true ground-sensing input operation?
Yes, the LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF supports true ground-sensing: its inputs operate from V– – 0.1V to V+ + 0.1V, allowing them to accept signals 100mV below ground (e.g., –0.1V with V– = 0V). This enables accurate measurement of transducer outputs referenced to earth or chassis ground without level-shifting circuitry - a key feature confirmed in the LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings and Pin Functions sections.
What is the typical turn-on time for the shutdown function of the LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF?
The LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF exhibits a typical turn-on time (tON) of 50µs when the SHDN pin transitions from 0V to 5V under 5V supply conditions. This parameter is measured at TA = 25°C with VSUPPLY = 5V and is guaranteed over the full operating temperature range. Fast wake-up makes LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF suitable for duty-cycled sensor interfaces where microsecond-level responsiveness is required after shutdown.
Can the LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF operate from a 1.8V single supply while maintaining rail-to-rail output swing?
Yes, the LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF is fully specified for 1.8V single-supply operation and delivers rail-to-rail output swing - typically within 30mV of both V– (0V) and V+ (1.8V) under 1mA load. This performance is validated in the 1.8V Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Performance Characteristics (e.g., Output Saturation Voltage plots), confirming LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF's suitability for ultra-low-voltage portable electronics.
What is the input voltage noise density of the LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF at 1kHz?
The LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF has a typical input voltage noise density of 20nV/√Hz at 1kHz, as specified in both the 5V and 1.8V Electrical Characteristics tables. This low noise figure, combined with 65µA supply current, gives LTC6256CTS8#TRMPBF best-in-class noise-to-power ratio among dual micropower op amps - critical for amplifying weak signals from piezoresistive or thermal sensors.
