Product details
Overview
LTC6259HMS8#PBF from Analog Devices is a dual, rail-to-rail input/output, micropower operational amplifier in an 8-lead MSOP package, rated for –40°C to 125°C operation. It delivers 1.3MHz gain-bandwidth, 20µA supply current per amplifier, 400µV max input offset voltage, and drives capacitive loads up to 100nF - enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation and automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6259HMS8#PBF datasheet, LTC6259HMS8#PBF pinout, LTC6259HMS8#PBF application, or LTC6259HMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown current (≤7µA), EMI rejection ratio (45dB at 1GHz), rail-to-rail I/O swing (within 30–100mV of rails), low-noise density (38nV/√Hz), and guaranteed performance across extended temperature range.
Technical Context
The LTC6259HMS8#PBF uses a dual-input-stage architecture (PNP + NPN differential pairs) that enables true rail-to-rail input operation - with common-mode range extending 0.1V beyond both supply rails. Its C-Load™ compensation ensures unity-gain stability with capacitive loads up to 100nF without external compensation.
It integrates active bias current cancellation, achieving ≤75nA max input bias current over 0.2V–(VS–0.2V) common-mode range, and features a dedicated active-low SHDN pin with 0.6V threshold referenced to V–, enabling fast turn-on (152µs) and turn-off (7µs) transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1.3MHz - supports stable closed-loop operation up to ~100kHz at unity gain with minimal phase margin degradation. |
| Supply Current per Amplifier | 20µA - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor front-ends powered by coin cells or energy harvesters. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±400µV max - ensures <0.1% error in 4V full-scale precision measurement paths without trimming. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 30mV of V+ and 40mV of V– at no load - preserves dynamic range in 1.8V–5.25V single-supply systems. |
| EMI Rejection Ratio | 45dB at 1GHz - suppresses RF-induced offset shifts in automotive and industrial environments with high ambient RF noise. |
| Shutdown Current | 7µA max - reduces system standby power by >99% versus active mode, critical for duty-cycled sensing nodes. |
| Operating Temperature Range | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and harsh-environment portable equipment. |
Pinout & Package
8-Lead Plastic MSOP (MS8) package, 3mm × 3mm × 1.1mm, exposed pad not connected (non-functional). Pin 1 marked by dot; pin numbering follows standard MSOP convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Amplifier A output - rail-to-rail capable, sinks/sources ≥4mA, high-impedance in shutdown. |
| 2 | –INA | Inverting input of Amplifier A - accepts common-mode voltage from V– – 0.1V to V+ + 0.1V. |
| 3 | +INA | Noninverting input of Amplifier A - identical voltage range and bias current behavior as –INA. |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail - typically ground; must be bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor near pin. |
| 5 | V+ | Positive supply rail - supports 1.8V to 5.25V; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor near pin. |
| 6 | OUTB | Amplifier B output - electrically identical to OUTA, independent channel operation. |
| 7 | –INB | Inverting input of Amplifier B - fully isolated from Amplifier A inputs and outputs. |
| 8 | +INB | Noninverting input of Amplifier B - matched offset and bias performance to +INA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| C-Load™ capacitive-load drive | Stable with ≥100nF load in unity-gain buffer configuration - eliminates need for isolation resistors or external compensation. |
| Rail-to-rail input stage | Operates with input voltages 0.1V beyond V+ and V– - enables direct interfacing to sensors with output ranges spanning supply rails. |
| Low EMI sensitivity | 45dB rejection at 1GHz - prevents RF rectification artifacts in high-noise environments like engine control units or motor drives. |
| Active bias current cancellation | ≤75nA max input bias current over 95% of common-mode range - minimizes voltage error in high-Z sensor interfaces (e.g., pH electrodes). |
| Fast shutdown control | 7µs turn-off / 152µs turn-on - supports microsecond-level power gating in time-sliced data acquisition systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV9002IDR | Lower GBW (1MHz), higher supply current (60µA), no shutdown pin, 400µV offset (typ) | Not suitable for 1.3MHz filter design or ultra-low-power (<25µA) systems requiring shutdown | Choose TLV9002IDR only if cost is primary constraint and 1.3MHz bandwidth is unnecessary. |
| MAX44260ASA+ | Higher supply current (35µA), wider supply range (1.8V–5.5V), 100µV offset (max), no C-Load™ | Requires external isolation resistor for >10nF loads; better for precision DC-coupled apps needing lower offset | Select MAX44260ASA+ when sub-200µV offset is mandatory and capacitive load ≤10nF. |
Compared with TLV9002IDR and MAX44260ASA+, the LTC6259HMS8#PBF uniquely balances 1.3MHz bandwidth, 20µA supply current, integrated shutdown, and guaranteed 100nF capacitive-load drive - making it optimal for battery-powered signal chains requiring both speed and ultra-low power.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the LTC6259HMS8#PBF can drive stably in unity-gain configuration?
The LTC6259HMS8#PBF is specified to drive up to 100nF capacitive load stably in unity-gain buffer configuration without external compensation, thanks to its proprietary C-Load™ architecture. This capability is verified across –40°C to 125°C and eliminates the need for series isolation resistors in anti-aliasing or output filtering applications.
Does the LTC6259HMS8#PBF require external components for shutdown functionality?
No, the LTC6259HMS8#PBF includes an integrated active-low SHDN pin (Pin 8 in MS8 package) that requires only a logic-level control signal. Pulling SHDN ≤0.6V relative to V– places the device in shutdown mode (≤7µA total supply current); leaving it unconnected or pulled high to V+ enables normal operation.
How does the LTC6259HMS8#PBF achieve rail-to-rail input operation beyond the supply rails?
The LTC6259HMS8#PBF uses a dual-input-stage architecture: a PNP pair active near V– and an NPN pair active near V+, seamlessly transitioning between them. This allows the input common-mode range to extend 0.1V beyond both V+ and V–, enabling true ground-sensing and interface with sensors whose outputs exceed supply limits.
What is the typical input voltage noise density of the LTC6259HMS8#PBF at 1kHz?
The LTC6259HMS8#PBF has a typical input voltage noise density of 38nV/√Hz at 1kHz, with a 0.1Hz–10Hz peak-to-peak noise of 2µV. This low-noise performance is maintained across the full 1.8V–5.25V supply range and supports high-resolution signal acquisition in low-frequency sensor applications.
Is the LTC6259HMS8#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC6258/LTC6259/LTC6260 family?
No - the LTC6259HMS8#PBF (dual, 8-pin MSOP) is not pin-compatible with the single LTC6258 (6-pin TSOT-23 or DFN) or quad LTC6260 (16-pin MSOP). Pinouts differ across package types and channel counts; PCB layout must be specific to the LTC6259HMS8#PBF's 8-lead MSOP footprint and dual-amplifier pin assignment.
