FEATURES
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
amplifiersarereversesupplyprotected;theydrawnocurrent
for reverse supply up to 18V. The input range of the LT1490/
LT1491includesbothsuppliesandtheoutputswingstoboth
supplies. Unlike most micropower op amps, the LT1490/
LT1491 can drive heavy loads; their rail-to-rail outputs drive
20mA.TheLT1490/LT1491areunity-gainstableanddriveall
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
upto22V.Thereisnophasereversaloftheoutputforinputs
22V below V– or 44V above V–, independent of V+.
