The LTC1050CN#PBF is a low-power quad instrumentation amplifier design. The popular design offers a low cost solution to a number of applications while providing excellent stability and reliable performance. It features four independent levels of Gain and can operate in both single and bipolar configurations.

Applications

The LTC1050CN#PBF is well suited for a variety of instrumentation applications. Examples of such include data acquisition systems, medical instrumentation, battery-powered systems and automotive instrumentation systems. It is also ideal for a variety of signal conditioning tasks such as low-level signal amplification and filtering, signal level shifting and distortion correction.

Working Principle

The LTC1050CN#PBF is a quad amplifier design comprised of two parts; the differential input stage and the voltage-feedback output stage. The differential input stage is buffered by two CMOS complimentary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) rail-to-rail buffer amplifiers for both the input signals and the return. This provides an exceptionally wide input range without the need for external adjustment.

The LTC1050CN#PBF offers four independent levels of Gain. These are determined by the combination of the gain set by the input resistor and the output amplifier. This allows the designer to easily adjust the amplification of the signal. The output stage is designed for low power consumption and is rail-to-rail compatible. It also provides a high output impedance which reduces noise and helps to maintain signal integrity.

Conclusion

The LTC1050CN#PBF is an ideal choice for a variety of instrumentation applications. It offers low-power operation combined with excellent stability and reliable performance. It features four independent levels of Gain and can operate in both single and bipolar configurations. This allows designers to easily adjust the amplification of the signal and obtain the desired results.
