The LT
®
1996 combines a precision operational amplifier
with eight precision resistors to form a one-chip solution
for accurately amplifying voltages. Gains from –117 to
118 with a gain accuracy of 0.05% can be achieved without
any external components. The device is particularly well
suited for use as a difference amplifier, where the excellent
resistor matching results in a common mode rejection
ratio of greater than 80dB.
The amplifier features a 50µV maximum input offset
voltage and a gain bandwidth product of 560kHz. The
device operates from any supply voltage from 2.7V to 36V
and draws only 100µA supply current on a 5V supply. The
output swings to within 40mV of either supply rail.
The internal resistors have excellent matching character-
istics; variation is 0.05% over temperature with a guaran-
teed matching temperature coefficent of less than 3ppm/°C.
The resistors are also extremely stable over voltage,
exhibiting a nonlinearity of less than 10ppm.
The LT1996 is fully specified at 5V and
±15V
supplies and
from –40°C to 85°C. The device is available in space
saving 10-lead MSOP and DFN packages. For an amplifier
with selectable gains from –13 to 14, see the LT1991 data
sheet.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those beyond which the life of the
device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The P27/M27 and P81/M81 inputs are protected by ESD diodes to
the supply rails. If one of these four inputs goes outside the rails, the input
current should be limited to less than 10mA. The P9/M9 inputs can
withstand
±60V
if P81/M81 are grounded and V
S
=
±15V
(see Applications
Information section about “High Voltage CM Difference Amplifiers”).
Note 3:
A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature
below absolute maximum ratings.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 4:
Both the LT1996C and LT1996I are guaranteed functional over the
–40°C to 85°C temperature range.
Note 5:
The LT1996C is guaranteed to meet the specified performance
from 0°C to 70°C and is designed, characterized and expected to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but is not tested or QA
sampled at these temperatures. The LT1996I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 6:
This parameter is not 100% tested.
Note 7:
Input voltage range is guaranteed by the CMRR test at V
S
=
±15V.
For the other voltages, this parameter is guaranteed by design and through
correlation with the
±15V
test. See the Applications Information section to
determine the valid input voltage range under various operating
conditions.
Note 8:
Offset voltage, offset voltage drift and PSRR are defined as
referred to the internal op amp. You can calculate output offset as follows.

Note 9:

tested directly, but is guaranteed by the gain error test.
Note 10:
Input impedance is tested by a combination of direct
measurements and correlation to the CMRR and gain error tests.
