The LT1464 (dual) and LT1465 (quad) are the first micropower op amps (200µA max per amp) to offer picoampere input bias currents (500fA typ) and unity-gain stability for capacitive loads up to 10nF. The output can swing a 10k load to within 1.5V of either supply, just like op amps that require an order of magnitude more supply current. This unique combination of performance makes the LT1464/LT1465 ideal over a wide range of input and output impedances.In the design and testing of the LT1464/LT1465, particular emphasis has been placed on optimizing performance in the low cost SO-8 (dual) and 14-lead SO (quad) package for ±15V and ±5V supplies. The input common mode range includes the positive rail. Slew rate (0.5V/µs min) and gain bandwidth product (650kHz min) are 100% tested. A full set of matching specifications is also provided.ApplicationsBattery-Powered SystemsPhotocurrent AmplifiersLow Frequency, Micropower Active FiltersLow Droop Track-and-Hold Circuits

The LT1466L/LT1467L are dual/quad bipolar op amps that combine rail-to-rail input and output operation with precision specifications. Using a patented technique, both input stages of the LT1466L/LT1467L are trimmed: one at the negative supply and the other at the positive supply. The resulting common mode rejection of 83dB minimum is much better than other rail-to-rail input op amps. A minimum open-loop gain of 400V/mV into a 10K load virtually eliminates all gain error. Operation is specified for 3V, 5V and ±5V supplies.Unlike other rail-to-rail amplifiers, the input offset voltage of 390µV maximum is guaranteed across the entire rail-to-rail input range, not just at half supply. The graph below contrasts the VOSspecifications of the LT1466L/LT1467L to a competitive part that is specified only at half supply. As can be seen, the LT1466L/LT1467L's limits are much tighter for inputs near either supply.The LT1466L is available in 8-lead PDIP and SO-8 packages with the standard dual pinout. The LT1467L features the standard quad pinout and is available in a 16-lead narrow SO package.ApplicationsSupply Current SensingDriving A/D ConvertersTest Equipment Amplifiers

The LT1468 is a precision high speed operational amplifier with 16-bit accuracy and 900ns settling to 150μV for 10V signals. This unique blend of precision and AC performance makes the LT1468 the optimum choice for high accuracy applications such as DAC current-to-voltage conversion and ADC buffers. The initial accuracy and drift characteristics of the input offset voltage and inverting input bias current are tailored for inverting applications.The 90MHz gain bandwidth ensures high open-loop gain at frequency for reducing distortion. In noninverting applications such as an ADC buffer, the low distortion and DC accuracy allow full 16-bit AC and DC performance.The 22V/μs slew rate of the LT1468 improves large-signal performance in applications such as active filters and instrumentation amplifiers compared to other precision op amps.The LT1468 is manufactured on a complementary bipolar process. It is available in a space saving 3mm × 3mm leadless package, as well as small outline and DIP packages.Applications16-Bit DAC Current-to-Voltage ConverterPrecision InstrumentationADC BufferLow Distortion Active FiltersHigh Accuracy Data Acquisition SystemsPhotodiode Amplifiers

The combination of precision and AC performance makes the LT1469-2 the optimum choice for high accuracy applications such as DAC current-to-voltage conversion and ADC buffers. The initial accuracy and drift characteristics of the input offset voltage and inverting input bias current are tailored for inverting applications.The 200MHz gain bandwidth ensures high open-loop gain at frequency for reducing distortion. In noninverting applications such as an ADC buffer, the low distortion and DC accuracy allow full 16-bit AC and DC performance.

The dual LT1490 and quad LT1491 op amps operate on all single and split supplies with a total voltage of 2V to 44V drawing only 40µA of quiescent current per amplifier. These amplifiers are reverse supply protected; they draw no current for reverse supply up to 18V. The input range of the LT1490/LT1491 includes both supplies and the output swings to both supplies. Unlike most micropower op amps, the LT1490/LT1491 can drive heavy loads; their rail-to-rail outputs drive 20mA. The LT1490/LT1491 are unity-gain stable and drive all capacitive loads up to 10,000pF when optional 0.22µF and 150Ω compensation is used.The LT1490/LT1491 have a unique input stage that operates and remains high impedance when above the positive supply. The inputs take 44V both differential and common mode even when operating on a 3V supply. Built-in resistors protect the inputs for faults below the negative supply up to 22V. There is no phase reversal of the output for inputs 22V below V–or 44V above V–, independent of V+.The LT1490 dual op amp is available in the 8-pin MSOP, SO and PDIP packages. The quad LT1491 is available in the 14-pin SO and PDIP packages.For new designs it is recommended that the LT1490A/LT1491A be used instead of the LT1490/LT1491.
