LT1462/LT1463
Dual/Quad Micropower,
260µW C-Load Picoampere
Bias Current JFET Input Op Amps
FEATURES
s
DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1462 (dual) and LT1463 (quad) are the first
micropower op amps (45µA max per amp) to offer
picoampere input bias currents (1pA 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 LT1462/LT1463 ideal over a wide range of input and
output impedances.
In the design and testing of the LT1462/LT1463, particular
emphasis has been placed on optimizing performance in
the low cost SO-8 (dual) and 14-lead SO package (quad) for
±15V
and
±5V
supplies. The input common mode range
includes the positive rail. Slew rate (0.08V/µs min) and gain
bandwidth product (125kHz min) are 100% tested. A full set
of matching specifications is also provided.

The
q
denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1:
Typical parameters are defined as 60% yield of parameter
distributions of individual amplifiers, i.e., out of 100 LT1463s (or 100
LT1462s) typically 240 op amps (or 120) will be better than the indicated
specification.
Note 2:
The LT1462 and LT1463 are designed, characterized and expected
to meet these extended temperature limits, but are not tested at – 40°C
and 85°C. Guaranteed I grade parts are available, consult factory.
Note 3:
Current noise is calculated from the formula: i
n
= (2qi
b
)
1/2
where
q = (1.6)(10
–19
) coulomb. The noise of source resistors up to 1G swamps
the contribution of current noise.
Note 4:
Slew rate is measured in A
V
= –1; input signal is
±7.5V,
output is
measured at
±2.5V.
Note 5:
∆CMRR
and
∆PSRR
are defined as follows:
1. CMRR and PSRR are measured in
µV/V
on the individual amplifiers.
2. The difference is calculated between the matching sides in
µV/V.
3. The result is converted to dB.
Note 6:
This parameter is not 100% tested.
Note 7:
Matching parameters are the difference between amplifiers A and
D and between B and C on the LT1463; between the two amplifiers on the
LT1462.
