LT1816ACMS#PBF

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Overview

The LT1816ACMS#PBF is a dual-channel, high-speed operational amplifier manufactured by Analog Devices. It features a gain-bandwidth product of 220 MHz and a slew rate of 1500 V/µs. The device operates with a supply current of 6.5 mA per amplifier and supports voltage supplies ranging from ±2.5 V to ±6.3 V (total 5 V to 12.6 V). It includes a programmable current option allowing operation in low power mode. The input offset voltage is typically 1.5 mV, with an input noise voltage density of 6 nV/√Hz. The component is housed in a 10-lead plastic MSOP package and is specified for an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ACMS corresponds to the 10-lead MSOP package and the C grade temperature range (0°C to 70°C) rather than the extended I grade (-40°C to 85°C). Confirm the #PBF designation indicates lead-free finish compliance. Ensure the ordering information matches the required channel count and electrical specifications for the target application design.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel configuration is required alongside high slew rates and wide bandwidth. The programmable current feature offers flexibility for power-constrained designs where reduced speed is acceptable. Compare against single-channel or quad-channel variants if the channel count does not match system requirements. Consider thermal dissipation capabilities within the MSOP package for high-drive applications.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Part Context

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps FAQ

How is the programmable current mode activated on the LT1816A?

Connect an external resistor between the ISET pin and the negative supply. A resistance of 40kΩ or less activates low power mode, while 75Ω or less ensures full speed operation.

What is the maximum differential input voltage the device can withstand?

The inputs can withstand transient differential input voltages up to ±6V without damage, though sustained differential inputs should be avoided to prevent excessive power dissipation.
