Product details
Overview
LTC6911IMS-1#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, digitally programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with inverting architecture and 3-bit parallel gain control. It delivers precise inverting gains of 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, or 100 V/V, features rail-to-rail input/output swing, 11 MHz gain-bandwidth product, and 0.1 dB max channel-to-channel gain matching - enabling high-fidelity signal conditioning in precision data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6911IMS-1#PBF datasheet, LTC6911IMS-1#PBF pinout, LTC6911IMS-1#PBF application, or LTC6911IMS-1#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its matched dual-channel topology, MSOP-10 package compatibility, single/dual supply operation (2.7V–10.5V), 10 nV/√Hz input voltage noise density at gain=1, and guaranteed performance over –40°C to 85°C.
Technical Context
The LTC6911IMS-1#PBF integrates two fully matched, MOS-input operational amplifiers with digitally controlled resistor arrays for gain setting. Its internal architecture uses a current-summing node referenced to AGND, enabling true rail-to-rail input operation at unity gain and predictable input impedance scaling (e.g., 10 kΩ at G=1, 1 kΩ at G=100).
Gain is set via three logic inputs (G0–G2) with deterministic, monotonic response across all eight settings; the "zero gain" state (000) disconnects inputs and forces outputs to AGND. The device generates its own mid-supply reference at AGND, supporting single-supply operation without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Options | Inverting gains of 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 V/V - enables discrete dynamic range adjustment without analog trimming. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 11 MHz at G=100 - supports >100 kHz closed-loop bandwidth even at highest gain, critical for wideband sensor interfaces. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 10 nV/√Hz at G=1 - ensures low-noise amplification of microvolt-level signals in precision instrumentation. |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O | Full swing from V– to V+ on input and output - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage (2.7V) or split-supply (±5V) systems. |
| Channel Matching | 0.1 dB max gain mismatch - eliminates inter-channel amplitude error in differential or multi-sensor acquisition paths. |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 10.5V total - operates from single Li-ion (3.3V/3.7V) or dual ±5V rails without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments (I-grade). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead MSOP (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 marked by dot; pin numbering follows standard MSOP convention (counterclockwise from dot).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INA) | Channel A Inverting Input | Differential input node referenced to AGND; impedance varies with gain (10 kΩ at G=1, 1 kΩ at G=100). |
| 2 (AGND) | Analog Ground Reference | Internally generated mid-supply voltage; serves as DC reference for both input common-mode and output swing. |
| 3 (INB) | Channel B Inverting Input | Matched to INA; identical gain-dependent input impedance and rail-to-rail voltage range. |
| 4 (G0) | Digital Gain Control Bit 0 | LSB of 3-bit parallel interface; TTL/CMOS-compatible with VIH = 2.43V (2.7V supply) or 4.5V (5V supply). |
| 5 (G1) | Digital Gain Control Bit 1 | MSB-1 of gain select; controls coarse gain steps (e.g., toggling G1 changes gain from 1→2 or 10→20). |
| 6 (G2) | Digital Gain Control Bit 2 | MSB of gain select; enables highest gain states (50, 100 V/V); zero-gain (000) disables input path. |
| 7 (OUTA) | Channel A Output | Fully buffered inverting output; drives 10 kΩ load to within 20 mV of rails at 5V supply. |
| 8 (OUTB) | Channel B Output | Matched to OUTA; <100 ps inter-channel skew ensures synchronous signal processing. |
| 9 (V–) | Negative Supply | Accepts ground (single supply) or negative rail (dual supply); no reverse polarity protection. |
| 10 (V+) | Positive Supply | Supports up to 10.5V; internal regulators derive AGND and bias voltages - no external decoupling required beyond 0.1 µF. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual matched PGA channels | Guaranteed 0.1 dB gain match enables simultaneous sampling of differential or redundant sensor pairs without calibration. |
| Zero-gain disable mode | Digital input 000 disconnects both inputs and forces outputs to AGND - eliminates leakage-induced offset in standby or multiplexed systems. |
| Internal AGND generation | Self-biasing mid-supply reference eliminates need for external resistive divider or op-amp buffer in single-supply configurations. |
| Rail-to-rail input at unity gain | Accepts signals from V– to V+ with no headroom loss - preserves full ADC input range when driving successive-stage converters. |
| Low 10 nV/√Hz input noise | Enables 120 dB system dynamic range when paired with 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs in weigh-scale or medical ECG front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable gain amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8253ARMZ | Single-channel, SPI interface, 10–1000 V/V gains, higher 20 MHz GBW, but no zero-gain mode. | Requires external digital isolator for industrial noise immunity; lacks dual-channel synchronization. | Select when higher bandwidth or SPI control is prioritized over channel matching and zero-gain disable. |
| LTC6915IMS#PBF | Dual-channel like LTC6911IMS-1#PBF, but offers 1–128 V/V (non-inverting), lower 8 MHz GBW, and 0.05% gain accuracy vs. 0.1 dB matching. | Better for non-inverting topologies; less suitable for inverting summing or differential gain applications. | Choose when non-inverting configuration, tighter absolute gain tolerance, or lower quiescent current (1.8 mA/ch) is required. |
Compared with AD8253ARMZ and LTC6915IMS#PBF, the LTC6911IMS-1#PBF uniquely combines dual-channel inverting gain control, zero-gain disable, and sub-0.1 dB matching in a compact MSOP-10 - making it optimal for synchronized, low-noise, multi-sensor front-ends where layout symmetry and power efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What gain options does the LTC6911IMS-1#PBF support?
The LTC6911IMS-1#PBF supports eight discrete inverting voltage gains: 0 (zero-gain disable), 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 V/V, selected via a 3-bit parallel digital interface (G0–G2). These values are fixed and monotonic - no interpolation or analog tuning is required. Gain accuracy is specified to ±0.1 dB matching between channels at all settings.
Does the LTC6911IMS-1#PBF require external components for single-supply operation?
No. The LTC6911IMS-1#PBF internally generates its AGND reference at mid-supply, eliminating the need for external resistive dividers or op-amp buffers in single-supply configurations. Only standard 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling on V+ and ≥1 µF bulk capacitance on AGND are recommended per the datasheet.
How does input impedance vary with gain on the LTC6911IMS-1#PBF?
Input impedance at INA and INB pins scales inversely with gain: approximately 10 kΩ at G=1, 5 kΩ at G=2, 2 kΩ at G=5, 1 kΩ at G=10 and above, and >100 MΩ in zero-gain (000) mode. This behavior is inherent to its digitally switched resistor array architecture and must be accounted for when interfacing high-output-impedance sensors.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LTC6911IMS-1#PBF?
The LTC6911IMS-1#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C (I-grade), with full electrical specifications guaranteed across this range. It is not rated for extended temperature operation (e.g., H-grade –40°C to +125°C), which is available only in the LTC6911HMS-1 variant.
Can the LTC6911IMS-1#PBF drive heavy loads such as 500 Ω?
Yes. The LTC6911IMS-1#PBF delivers rail-to-rail output swing into 500 Ω loads: at 5V supply, output swings within 90–175 mV of each rail depending on direction. Output short-circuit current is ±35 mA (±5V supply), supporting moderate capacitive loads (<100 pF) without stability issues when properly decoupled.
