FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LT®1789-1/LT1789-10 are micropower, precision in-
strumentation amplifiers that are optimized for single supply
operation from 2.2V to 36V. The quiescent current is 95µA
max, the inputs common mode to ground and the output
swings within 110mV of ground. The gain is set with a single
external resistor for a gain range of 1 to 1000 for the LT1789-
1 and 10 to 1000 for the LT1789-10.

The high accuracy of the LT1789-1 (40ppm maximum
nonlinearity and 0.25% max gain error) is unmatched by
othermicropowerinstrumentationamplifiers.TheLT1789-10
maximizesboththeinputcommonmoderangeanddynamic
output range when an amplification of 10 or greater is
required, allowing precise signal processing where other
instrumentation amplifiers fail to operate. The LT1789-1/
LT1789-10 are laser trimmed for very low input offset
voltage, low input offset voltage drift, high CMRR and high
PSRR. The output can handle capacitive loads up to 400pF
(LT1789-1), 1000pF (LT1789-10) in any gain configuration
whiletheinputsareESDprotectedupto10kV(humanbody).
