LT1490A/LT1491A
Dual/Quad Over-The-Top
Micropower Rail-to-Rail
Input and Output Op Amps
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®1490A/LT1491A are dual and quad op amps with a
lowinputoffsetvoltageof500μVmax.TheLT1490A/LT1491A
operate on all single and split supplies with a total voltage of
2V to 44V, drawing only 40μA of quiescent current per ampli-
fier. Theseamplifiersarereversesupplyprotected;theydraw
virtually no current for reverse supply up to 18V. The input
range of the LT1490A/LT1491A includes both supplies and
the output swings to both supplies. Unlike most micropower
op amps, the LT1490A/LT1491A can drive heavy loads; their
rail-to-rail outputs drive 20mA. The LT1490A/LT1491A are
unity-gainstableanddriveallcapacitiveloadsupto10,000pF
when optional 0.22μF and 150Ω compensation is used.

Tiny 3mm × 3mm × 0.8mm DFN Package
The LT1490A/LT1491A 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 resistors
protect the inputs for faults below the negative supply up to
15V. There is no phase reversal of the output for inputs 15V
below V– or 44V above V–, independent of V+.
