The LT®6010 op amp combines low noise and high precision input performance with low power consumption and
rail-to-rail output swing.
Input offset voltage is trimmed to less than 35µV. The low
drift and excellent long-term stability guarantee a high
accuracy over temperature and over time. The 110pA
maximum input bias current and 120dB minimum voltage
gain further maintain this precision over operating
conditions.
The LT6010 works on any power supply voltage from 2.7V
to 36V, and draws only 135µA of supply current on a 5V
supply. A power saving shutdown feature reduces supply
current to 12µA. The output voltage swings to within
40mV of either supply rail, making the amplifier a good
choice for low voltage single supply operation.
The LT6010 is fully specified at 5V and ±15V supplies and
from –40°C to 85°C. The device is available in SO-8 and
space-saving 3mm × 3mm DFN packages. This op amp
is also available in dual (LT6011) and quad (LT6012)
packages.

Note 6: This parameter is not 100% tested.
Note 7: The specifications for V
, IB and IOS depend on the grade and on

the package. The following table clarifies the notations used in the
specification table:
Preserving the input accuracy of the LT6010 requires that
the applications circuit and PC board layout do not introduce errors comparable to or greater than the 20µV typical
offset of the amplifier. Temperature differentials across
the input connections can generate thermocouple voltages of 10’s of microvolts, so the connections to the input
leads should be short, close together, and away from heat
dissipating components. Air currents across the board
can also generate temperature differentials.
The extremely low input bias currents (20pA typical) allow
high accuracy to be maintained with high impedance
sources and feedback resistors. The LT6010 low input
bias currents are obtained by a cancellation circuit onchip. The input bias currents are permanently trimmed at
wafer testing to a low level. Do not try to balance the input
resistances in each input lead; instead, keep the resistance
at either input as low as possible for maximum accuracy.
Leakage currents on the PC board can be higher than the
LT6010’s input bias current. For example, 10GΩ of leakage between a 15V supply lead and an input lead will generate 1.5nA! Surround the input leads by a guard ring, driven
to the same potential as the input common mode, to avoid
excessive leakage in high impedance applications.
allowed) for a 10V differential input voltage. Use additional
external series resistors to limit the input current to 10mA
in applications where differential inputs of more than 10V
are expected. For example, a 1k resistor in series with each
input provides protection against 30V differential voltage.
Input Common Mode Range
The LT6010 output is able to swing nearly to each power
supply rail (rail-to-rail out), but the input stage is limited to
operating between V– + 1V and V+ – 1.2V. Exceeding this
common mode range will cause the gain to drop to zero,
however no phase reversal will occur.
Total Input Noise
The LT6010 amplifier contributes negligible noise to the
system when driven by sensors (sources) with impedance
between 20kΩ and 1MΩ. Throughout this range, total
input noise is dominated by the 4kTRS noise of the source.
If the source impedance is less than 20kΩ, the input
voltage noise of the amplifier starts to contribute with a
minimum noise of 14nV/√Hz for very low source impedance. If the source impedance is more than 1MΩ, the input
current noise of the amplifier, multiplied by this high
impedance, starts to contribute and eventually dominate.
Total input noise spectral density can be calculated as:
Input Protection
The LT6010 features on-chip back-to-back diodes between the input devices, along with 500Ω resistors in
series with either input. This internal protection limits the
input current to approximately 10mA (the maximum

creates a drift of (VOS/300µV) µV/°C, e.g., if VOS is adjusted
to 300µV, the change in drift will be 1µV/°C. The adjustment
range with a 50k pot is approximately ±0.9mV (see Figures
1A and 1B). The sensitivity and resolution of the nulling can
be improved by using a smaller pot in conjunction with fixed
resistors. The configuration shown has an approximate
nulling range of ±150µV (see Figures 2A and 2B).

Shutdown
The LT6010 can be put into shutdown mode to conserve
power. When the SHDN pin is biased at less than 0.2V
above the negative supply, the part operates normally.
When pulled 2V or more above V–, the supply current
drops to about 12µA, shutting down the op amp.
The output of the LT6010 op amp is not isolated from the
inputs while in shutdown mode. Therefore, this shutdown
feature cannot be used for multiplexing applications.
There is an internal 85k resistor at the SHDN pin. If the
SHDN voltage source is more than 2V above the negative
supply, an external series resistor can be placed between
the source and SHDN pin to reduce SHDN pin current (see
Figure 3). For an example of suggested values see Table 1.
The resistors listed ensure that the voltage at the SHDN pin
is 2V above the negative supply.

Rail-to-Rail Operation
The LT6010 outputs can swing to within millivolts of either
supply rail, but the inputs cannot. However, for most op
amp configurations, the inputs need to swing less than the
outputs. Figure 4 shows the basic op amp configurations,
lists what happens to the op amp inputs and specifies
whether or not the op amp must have rail-to-rail inputs.
Select a rail-to-rail input op amp only when really necessary, because the input precision specifications are usually inferior.
Capacitive Loads
The LT6010 can drive capacitive loads up to 500pF in unity
gain. The capacitive load driving capability increases as
the amplifier is used in higher gain configurations. A small
series resistance between the output and the load further
increases the amount of capacitance that the amplifier can
drive.
