The LT®1991 combines a precision operational amplifier
with eight precision resistors to form a one-chip solution
for accurately amplifying voltages. Gains from –13 to 14
with a gain accuracy of 0.04% can be achieved using no
external components. The device is particularly well suited
for use as a difference amplifier, where the excellent resistor matching results in a common mode rejection ratio of
greater than 75dB.

n
The amplifier features a 50µV maximum input offset voltage and a gain bandwidth product of 560kHz. The device
operates from any supply voltage from 2.7V to 36V and
draws only 100µA supply current on a 5V supply. The
output swings to within 40mV of either supply rail.
The resistors have excellent matching, 0.04% over temperature for the 450k resistors. The matching temperature
coefficient is guaranteed less than 3ppm/°C. The resistors are extremely linear with voltage, resulting in a gain
nonlinearity of less than 10ppm.
The LT1991 is fully specified at 5V and ±15V supplies
and from –40°C to 125°C. The device is available in space
saving 10-lead MSOP and low profile (0.8mm) 3mm ×
3mm DFN packages.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The P3/M3 and P9/M9 inputs should not be taken more than 0.2V
beyond the supply rails. The P1/M1 inputs can withstand ±60V if P9/M9
are grounded and VS = ±15V (see Applications Information section about
“High Voltage CM Difference Amplifiers”).
Note 6: This parameter is not 100% tested.
Note 7: Input voltage range is guaranteed by the CMRR test at VS = ±15V.
For the other voltages, this parameter is guaranteed by design and through
correlation with the ±15V test. See the Applications Information section to
determine the valid input voltage range under various operating conditions.
Note 3: A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature
below absolute maximum ratings.
Note 8: Offset voltage, offset voltage drift and PSRR are defined as
referred to the internal op amp. You can calculate output offset as follows.
In the case of balanced source resistance, VOS,OUT = VOS • NOISEGAIN
+ IOS • 450k + IB • 450k • (1– RP/RN) where RP and RN are the total
resistance at the op amp positive and negative terminal respectively.
Note 4: Both the LT1991C and LT1991I are guaranteed functional over the
–40°C to 85°C temperature range. The LTC1991H is guaranteed functional
over the –40°C to 125°C temperature range.
Note 9: Applies to resistors that are connected to the inverting inputs.

LT1991
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Introduction
The LT1991 may be the last op amp you ever have to stock.
Because it provides you with several precision matched
resistors, you can easily configure it into several different
classical gain circuits without adding external components.
The several pages of simple circuits in this data sheet
demonstrate just how easy the LT1991 is to use. It can
be configured into difference amplifiers, as well as into
inverting and noninverting single ended amplifiers. The
fact that the resistors and op amp are provided together
in such a small package will often save you board space
and reduce complexity for easy probing.
The Op Amp
The op amp internal to the LT1991 is a precision device
with 15µV typical offset voltage and 3nA input bias current.
The input offset current is extremely low, so matching the
source resistance seen by the op amp inputs will provide
for the best output accuracy. The op amp inputs are not
rail-to-rail, but extend to within 1.2V of VCC and 1V of
VEE. For many configurations though, the chip inputs will
function rail-to-rail because of effective attenuation to the
+input. The output is truly rail-to-rail, getting to within
40mV of the supply rails. The gain bandwidth product of
the op amp is about 560kHz. In noise gains of 2 or more,
it is stable into capacitive loads up to 500pF. In noise gains
below 2, it is stable into capacitive loads up to 100pF.
The Resistors
The resistors internal to the LT1991 are very well matched
SiChrome based elements protected with barrier metal.
Although their absolute tolerance is fairly poor (±30%),
their matching is to within 0.04%. This allows the chip to
achieve a CMRR of 75dB, and gain errors within 0.04%.
The resistor values are 50k, 150k, and 2 of 450k, connected to each of the inputs. The resistors have power
limitations of 1watt for the 450k resistors, 0.3watt for the
150k resistors and 0.5watt for the 50k resistors; however,
in practice, power dissipation will be limited well below
these values by the maximum voltage allowed on the
input and REF pins. The 450k resistors connected to the
M1 and P1 inputs are isolated from the substrate, and can
therefore be taken beyond the supply voltages. The naming
of the pins “P1,” “P3,” “P9,” etc., is based on their relative
10
admittances. Because it has 9 times the admittance, the
voltage applied to the P9 input has 9 times the effect of
the voltage applied to the P1 input.
Bandwidth
The bandwidth of the LT1991 will depend on the gain you
select (or more accurately the noise gain resulting from
the gain you select). In the lowest configurable gain of 1,
the –3dB bandwidth is limited to 450kHz, with peaking of
about 2dB at 280kHz. In the highest configurable gains,
bandwidth is limited to 32kHz.
Input Noise
The LT1991 input noise is dominated by the Johnson
noise of the internal resistors (√4kTR). Paralleling all
four resistors to the +input gives a 32.1kΩ resistance,
for 23nV/√Hz of voltage noise. The equivalent network
on the –input gives another 23nV/√Hz , and taking their
RMS sum gives a total 33nV/√Hz input referred noise floor.
Output noise depends on configuration and noise gain.
Input Resistance
The LT1991 input resistances vary with configuration,
but once configured are apparent on inspection. Note that
resistors connected to the op amp’s –input are looking
into a virtual ground, so they simply parallel. Any feedback
resistance around the op amp does not contribute to input
resistance. Resistors connected to the op amp’s +input
are looking into a high impedance, so they add as parallel or series depending on how they are connected, and
whether or not some of them are grounded. The op amp
+input itself presents a very high GΩ impedance. In the
classical noninverting op amp configuration, the LT1991
presents the high input impedance of the op amp, as is
usual for the noninverting case.
Common Mode Input Voltage Range
The LT1991 valid common mode input range is limited
by three factors:
1. Maximum allowed voltage on the pins
2. The input voltage range of the internal op amp
3. Valid output voltage
1991fh
LT1991
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The maximum voltage allowed on the P3, M3, P9, and
M9 inputs includes the positive and negative supply plus
a diode drop. These pins should not be driven more than
0.2V outside of the supply rails. This is because they are
connected through diodes to internal manufacturing postpackage trim circuitry, and through a substrate diode to
VEE. If more than 10mA is allowed to flow through these
pins, there is a risk that the LT1991 will be detrimmed or
damaged. The P1 and M1 inputs do not have clamp diodes
or substrate diodes or trim circuitry and can be taken well
outside the supply rails. The maximum allowed voltage on
the P1 and M1 pins is ±60V.
The input voltage range of the internal op amp extends
to within 1.2V of VCC and 1V of VEE. The voltage at which
the op amp inputs common mode is determined by the
voltage at the op amp’s +input, and this is determined by
the voltages on pins P1, P3, P9 and REF (see “Calculating
Input Voltage Range” section). This is true provided that
the op amp is functioning and feedback is maintaining the
inputs at the same voltage, which brings us to the third
requirement.
For valid circuit function, the op amp output must not be
clipped. The output will clip if the input signals are attempting to force it to within 40mV of its supply voltages. This
usually happens due to too large a signal level, but it can
also occur with zero input differential and must therefore
be included as an example of a common mode problem.
Consider Figure 1. This shows the LT1991 configured
as a gain of 13 difference amplifier on a single supply
with the output REF connected to ground. This is a great
circuit, but it does not support VDM = 0V at any common
mode because the output clips into ground while trying
to produce 0VOUT. It can be fixed simply by declaring the
valid input differential range not to extend below +4mV,
or by elevating the REF pin above 40mV, or by providing
a negative supply.
Calculating Input Voltage Range
Figure 2 shows the LT1991 in the generalized case of
a difference amplifier, with the inputs shorted for the
common mode calculation. The values of RF and RG are
dictated by how the P inputs and REF pin are connected.
By superposition we can write:
VINT = VEXT • (RF/(RF + RG)) + VREF • (RG/(RF + RG))
Or, solving for VEXT :
VEXT = VINT • (1 + RG/RF) – VREF • RG/RF
But valid VINT voltages are limited to VCC – 1.2V and VEE
+ 1V, so:
MAX VEXT = (VCC – 1.2) • (1 + RG/RF) – VREF • RG/RF
and:
MIN VEXT = (VEE + 1) • (1 + RG/RF) – VREF • RG/RF

These two voltages represent the high and low extremes
of the common mode input range, if the other limits have
not already been exceeded (1 and 3, above). In most
cases, the inverting inputs M1 through M9 can be taken
further than these two extremes because doing this does
not move the op amp input common mode. To calculate
the limit on this additional range, see Figure 3. Note that,

with VMORE = 0, the op amp output is at VREF. From the
max VEXT (the high cm limit), as VMORE goes positive, the
op amp output will go more negative from VREF by the
amount VMORE • RF/RG, so:
representation of the circuit on the top. The LT1991 is
shown on the bottom configured in a precision gain
of 5.5. One of the benefits of the noninverting op amp
configuration is that the input impedance is extremely
high. The LT1991 maintains this benefit. Given the finite
VOUT = VREF – VMORE • RF/RG
number of available feedback resistors in the LT1991, the
Or:
number of gain configurations is also finite. The complete
list
of such Hi-Z input noninverting gain configurations is
VMORE = (VREF – VOUT) • RG/RF
shown in Table 1. Many of these are also represented in
The most negative that VOUT can go is VEE + 0.04V, so:
Figure 5 in schematic form. Note that the P-side resistor
inputs have been connected so as to match the source
Max VMORE = (VREF – VEE – 0.04V) • RG/RF
impedance seen by the internal op amp inputs. Note also
(should be positive)
that gain and noise gain are identical, for optimal precision.
The situation where this function is negative, and therefore problematic, when VREF = 0 and VEE = 0, has already
RF
been dealt with in Figure 1. The strength of the equation
is demonstrated in that it provides the three solutions
RG
suggested in Figure 1: raise VREF , lower VEE, or provide
–
some negative VMORE.
VOUT
Likewise, from the lower common mode extreme, making the negative input more negative will raise the output
voltage, limited by VCC – 0.04V.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Attenuation Using the P Input Resistors
Attenuation happens as a matter of fact in difference
amplifier configurations, but it is also used for reducing
peak signal level or improving input common mode range
even in single ended systems. When signal conditioning
indicates a need for attenuation, the LT1991 resistors are
ready at hand. The four precision resistors can provide
several attenuation levels, and these are tabulated in
Table 2 as a design reference.

Figure 6. LT1991 Provides for Easy Attenuation to the Op Amp’s
+Input. The P1 Input Can Be Taken Well Outside of the Supplies
Because the attenuations and the noninverting gains are set
independently, they can be combined. This provides high
gain resolution, about 340 unique gains between 0.077
and 14, as plotted in Figure 7. This is too large a number
to tabulate, but the designer can calculate achievable gain
by taking the vector product of the gains and attenuations
in Tables 1 and 2, and seeking the best match. Average
gain resolution is 1.5%, with a worst-case of 7%.

Table 3. Configuring the M Pins for Simple Inverting Gains
The inverting amplifier, shown in Figure 8, is another classical op amp configuration. The circuit is actually identical
to the noninverting amplifier of Figure 4, except that VIN
and GND have been swapped. The list of available gains
is shown in Table 3, and some of the circuits are shown
in Figure 9. Noise gain is 1+|Gain|, as is the usual case for
inverting amplifiers. Again, for the best DC performance,
match the source impedance seen by the op amp inputs.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Difference Amplifiers

The resistors in the LT1991 allow it to easily make difference amplifiers also. Figure 10 shows the basic 4-resistor
difference amplifier and the LT1991. A difference gain of
3 is shown, but notice the effect of the additional dashed
connections. By connecting the 450k resistors in parallel, the gain is reduced by a factor of 2. Of course, with
so many resistors, there are many possible gains. Table
4 shows the difference gains and how they are achieved.
Note that, as for inverting amplifiers, the noise gain is 1
more than the signal gain.

Difference Amplifier: Additional Integer Gains Using
Cross-Coupling
Figure 12 shows the basic difference amplifier as well as
the LT1991 in a difference gain of 3. But notice the effect
of the additional dashed connections. This is referred to
as “cross-coupling” and has the effect of reducing the
differential gain from 3 to 2. Using this method, additional
integer gains are achievable, as shown in Table 5 below,
so that all integer gains from 1 to 13 are achieved with the
LT1991. Note that the equations can be written by inspection
from the VIN+ connections, and that the VIN– connections
are simply the opposite (swap P for M and M for P). Noise
gain, bandwidth, and input impedance specifications for the
various cases are also tabulated, as these are not obvious.
Schematics are provided in Figure 13.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
High Voltage CM Difference Amplifiers
This class of difference amplifier remains to be discussed.
Figure 14 shows the basic circuit on the top. The effective
input voltage range of the circuit is extended by the fact
that resistors RT attenuate the common mode voltage seen
by the op amp inputs. For the LT1991, the most useful
resistors for RG are the M1 and P1 450kΩ resistors, because they do not have diode clamps to the supplies and
therefore can be taken outside the supplies. As before, the
input CM of the op amp is the limiting factor and is set by
the voltage at the op amp +input, VINT. By superposition
we can write:
VINT = VEXT • (RF||RT)/(RG + RF||RT) + VREF • (RG||RT)/
(RF + RG||RT) + VTERM • (RF||RG)/(RT + RF||RG)
Solving for VEXT :
Table 6. HighV CM Connections Giving Difference Gains for
the LT1991
and:
MIN VEXT = 11 • (VEE + 1V) – VREF – 9 • VTERM
= 11 • (1V) – 2.5 – 9 • 12 = –99.5V
but this exceeds the 60V absolute maximum rating of
the P1, M1 pins, so –60V becomes the de facto negative
common mode limit. Several more examples of high CM
circuits are shown in Figures 15, 16, 17 for various supplies.

Given the values of the resistors in the LT1991, this equation has been simplified and evaluated, and the resulting
equations provided in Table 6. As before, substituting
VCC – 1.2 and VEE + 1 for VLIM will give the valid upper
and lower common mode extremes respectively. Following
are sample calculations for the case shown in Figure 14,
right-hand side. Note that P9 and M9 are terminated so
