Programmable gain in a 10-MSOP — what the LT1991CMS#PBF brings to the board
It combines a precision op-amp core with a resistor network that sets the gain through pin-strapping — no external resistors needed. Key characteristics include a 25 µV input offset, 2.5 nA input bias current, and a gain-bandwidth product of 560 kHz.
The 560 kHz gain-bandwidth product sets the usable frequency range at a given closed-loop gain. At a gain of 100, the bandwidth drops to roughly 5.6 kHz — fine for DC or low-frequency sensor outputs (thermocouples, strain gauges, bridge circuits), but not for audio or fast data acquisition. The 0.12 V/µs slew rate limits large-signal response: a 10 V output step slews in about 83 µs. For applications that need to track fast transients or drive high-frequency signals, a wider-bandwidth PGA or a dedicated op-amp would be a better fit. The -3 dB bandwidth of 110 kHz confirms the part is optimised for precision, not speed.
It is ROHS3 compliant.
