The LT1169 achieves a new standard of excellence in noise
performance for a dual JFET op amp. For the first time low
voltage noise (6nV/√Hz) is simultaneously offered with
extremely low current noise (1fA/√Hz), providing the low-
est total noise for high impedance transducer applications.
Unlike most JFET op amps, the very low input bias current
(5pA Typ) is maintained over the entire common mode
range which results in an extremely high input resistance
(10
13
Ω).
When combined with a very low input capaci-
tance (1.5pF) an extremely high input impedance results,
making the LT1169 the first choice for amplifying low level
signals from high impedance transducers. The low input
capacitance also assures high gain linearity when buffering
AC signals from high impedance transducers.
The LT1169 is unconditionally stable for gains of 1 or more,
even with 1000pF capacitive loads. Other key features are
0.6mV V
OS
and a voltage gain over 4 million. Each indi-
vidual amplifier is 100% tested for voltage noise, slew rate
(4.2V/µs), and gain-bandwidth product (5.3MHz).
The LT1169 is offered in the S8 and N8 packages.
A full set of matching specifications are provided for
precision instrumentation amplifier front ends. Specifica-
tions at
±5V
supply operation are also provided. For an
even lower voltage noise please see the LT1113 data sheet.

The
q
denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1:
Typical parameters are defined as the 60% yield of parameter
distributions of individual amplifiers, i.e., out of 100 LT1169s (200 op
amps) typically 120 op amps will be better than the indicated specification.
Note 2:
I
B
and I
OS
readings are extrapolated to a warmed-up temperature
from 25°C measurements and 45°C characterization data.
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 200M
swamps the contribution of current noise.
Note 4:
Input voltage range functionality is assured by testing offset
voltage at the input voltage range limits to a maximum of 2.8mV.
Note 5:
This parameter is not 100% tested.
Note 6:
Slew rate is measured in A
V
= –1; input signal is
±7.5V,
output
measured at
±2.5V.
Note 7:
The LT1169 is designed, characterized and expected to meet these
extended temperature limits, but is not tested at – 40°C and 85°C.
Guaranteed I grade parts are available; consult factory.
Note 8:
∆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 9:
The LT1169 is measured in an automated tester in less than one
second after application of power. Depending on the package used, power
dissipation, heat sinking, and air flow conditions, the fully warmed-up chip
temperature can be 10°C to 50°C higher than the ambient temperature.
