DESCRIPTION
The dual LT
®
1490 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 oper-
ates 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 resis-
tors 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 SO and
PDIP packages. The quad LT1491 is available in the 14-pin
SO and PDIP packages.

The

denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1:
A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature
below absolute maximum. This depends on the power supply voltage
and how many amplifiers are shorted.
Note 2:
The LT1490/LT1491 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:
