Product details
Overview
LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual, rail-to-rail input/output, micropower operational amplifier in an 8-lead 2mm × 2mm DFN package. It delivers 6.5MHz gain-bandwidth product, 4.5MHz –3dB bandwidth at unity gain, and 65µA supply current per amplifier across 1.8V to 5.25V operation - enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation and automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF pinout, LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF application, or LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its C-Load™ capacitive-load drive capability (up to 100nF), 350µV max input offset voltage, shutdown function with 7µA max quiescent current, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +85°C in industrial environments.
Technical Context
The LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF employs a dual-input-stage architecture (PNP/NPN) that enables rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending 0.1V beyond both supplies, while maintaining low bias current (<50nA) over mid-rail conditions. Its internal compensation ensures unity-gain stability even with 100nF capacitive loads.
It integrates active shutdown logic referenced to V–, with defined VIH/VIL thresholds (1.5V/0.6V at 5V supply), 50µs typical turn-on time, and high-impedance output state during shutdown - supporting multiplexer and power-gated analog front-end designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 6.5MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥10 at 650kHz, suitable for anti-aliasing filters and ADC drivers. |
| Supply Current per Amp | 65µA max - enables >1-year battery life in 10µA-sleep systems with periodic 10ms active bursts. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 350µV max - ensures ≤0.035% error in 1V full-scale 12-bit measurement systems. |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O | VOUT swings within 30mV of rails, VIN operates from V– – 0.1V to V+ + 0.1V - eliminates level-shifting in single-supply 3.3V/5V systems. |
| Capacitive Load Drive | Stable with up to 100nF load in unity gain - removes need for isolation resistors when driving SAR ADC sample capacitors or long traces. |
| Shutdown Current | 7µA max - reduces system standby power by >90% vs active mode, critical for always-on sensor nodes. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead, 2mm × 2mm × 0.8mm plastic DFN (DC package) with exposed V– pad soldered to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: OUTA | Amplifier A output | Delivers rail-to-rail voltage swing; high-impedance during SHDN assertion. |
| 2: –INA | Inverting input of Amp A | Accepts common-mode voltages from V– – 0.1V to V+ + 0.1V; protected by back-to-back diodes. |
| 3: +INA | Non-inverting input of Amp A | Same voltage range as –INA; bias current <50nA between 0.2V and V+ – 0.2V. |
| 4: V– | Negative supply / ground reference | Exposed pad (Pin 9) is internally connected to V–; must be soldered to PCB plane for thermal performance. |
| 5: V+ | Positive supply (1.8V–5.25V) | Requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor; supports split-supply operation if V+ – V– ∈ [1.8V, 5.25V]. |
| 6: OUTB | Amplifier B output | Independent output stage; identical AC/DC specs to OUTA. |
| 7: –INB | Inverting input of Amp B | Electrically isolated from Amp A inputs; shares same V+/V– supply pins. |
| 8: +INB | Non-inverting input of Amp B | Functionally identical to +INA; enables dual-channel signal conditioning on single footprint. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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, 1.2V min supply. | Not suitable for 4.5MHz bandwidth or shutdown-controlled power cycling; better for ultra-low-voltage (1.8V) systems. | Select TLV9002IDR only if supply voltage <1.8V is required and bandwidth ≤1MHz suffices. |
| OPA2313AIDR | Higher VOS (1.25mV max), no shutdown, 1.8V–5.5V supply, 10MHz GBW, higher noise (25nV/√Hz). | Superior bandwidth but poorer DC precision and no power gating; requires external enable circuitry for low-power sleep. | Choose OPA2313AIDR when high-speed settling (1.5µs) outweighs offset and shutdown needs. |
Compared with TLV9002IDR and OPA2313AIDR, the LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF uniquely combines 6.5MHz GBW, 65µA supply current, integrated shutdown, and 350µV VOS - making it optimal for battery-constrained, precision, and bandwidth-sensitive dual-channel analog signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF can drive stably in unity-gain configuration?
The LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF is specified to drive up to 100nF capacitive loads stably in unity-gain configuration without external compensation, thanks to its C-Load™ architecture. This eliminates series isolation resistors when interfacing with SAR ADC input capacitors or long PCB traces, preserving signal integrity and simplifying layout.
Does the LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF support true ground-sensing input operation?
Yes - the LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF accepts input common-mode voltages down to V– – 0.1V. With V– tied to ground, this enables true ground-sensing (0V input) without level-shifting, critical for current-sense amplifiers and bridge sensor interfaces where signals originate at earth potential.
What is the shutdown behavior of the LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF output stage?
When the SHDN pin is pulled low (≤0.6V above V–), the LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF output enters a high-impedance state with leakage ≤±400nA. This allows safe connection to shared buses or multiplexed signal paths without loading adjacent channels - a key requirement in multi-sensor data acquisition systems.
How does the LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF achieve low input bias current across its full input range?
The LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF uses an active bias-current cancellation circuit that dynamically matches base currents of its dual PNP/NPN input stages. This achieves <50nA input bias current over 90% of the common-mode range (0.2V above V– to 0.2V below V+), enabling accurate amplification of signals from high-impedance sources like pH electrodes or photodiodes.
Is the LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC6255/LTC6256/LTC6257 family?
No - the LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF uses an 8-lead DFN (DC) package, while the single-channel LTC6255IDC#TRMPBF uses a 6-lead DFN. Pinouts differ: LTC6256IDC#TRMPBF has dual amplifier terminals (OUTA/–INA/+INA/OUTB/–INB/+INB) plus V+/V–, whereas LTC6255 variants have only one set of signal pins. Board redesign is required for substitution.
