LT1230CS

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Overview

The LT1230CS is a quad 100MHz current feedback amplifier manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. in an 8-lead plastic SOIC package. It operates on supply voltages from –2V to –15V with a typical supply current of 6mA per amplifier. The device features a 1000V/ms slew rate, 30mA output drive current, and high input impedance of 25MΩ. It maintains wide bandwidth across various closed-loop voltage gains and offers low differential gain (0.04%) and phase error (0.1°).

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Feature Summary

• High-speed current feedback architecture maintaining wide bandwidth across varying voltage gains.
• Capable of driving low impedance loads such as cables with excellent linearity at high frequencies.
• Operates on single or split supplies ranging from –2V to –15V.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Applications

• Video instrumentation amplifiers
• Cable drivers
• RGB amplifiers
• Test equipment amplifiers

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CS' corresponds to the 8-lead Plastic SOIC package and commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) before procurement. Confirm that the manufacturer designation matches Analog Devices Inc., formerly Linear Technology Corporation, to ensure component authenticity and datasheet alignment.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-speed signal processing where bandwidth stability across different gains is critical. Ensure the design accounts for thermal resistance limits when operating near maximum ambient temperatures, particularly in surface mount configurations. Verify that the load impedance and supply voltage do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings defined in the electrical characteristics table.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Part Context

This part belongs to the LT1229/LT1230 family of dual and quad current feedback amplifiers. While the LT1229 provides a dual configuration, the LT1230 integrates four independent amplifiers within a single package. Both share identical electrical performance characteristics and are designed for high-frequency video and signal conditioning applications.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Replacement Considerations

LT1227 is a single-channel alternative within the same family. For higher bandwidth requirements, consider the LT1395/LT1396/LT1397 series. Legacy ceramic DIP packages (J8/J) are obsolete; use N8/N plastic DIP or S8/S plastic SOIC packages as direct physical replacements.
