Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LT1996IMS#PBF are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain constant:

Amplifier Type (Programmable Gain), Number of Circuits (1), Output Type (Rail-to-Rail), Slew Rate (0.12 V/µs), Gain Bandwidth Product (560 kHz), -3dB Bandwidth (38 kHz), Current - Input Bias (2.5 nA), Current - Supply (130 µA), Current - Output / Channel (21 mA), Voltage - Supply Span (2.7V to 36V), Operating Temperature Range (-40°C to 85°C), Mounting Type (Surface Mount), and Package / Case (10-MSOP).

The LT1996AIMS#PBF is classified as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all critical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility with the LT1996IMS#PBF. Both devices share the same base product number (LT1996), manufacturer (Analog Devices Inc.), package type (10-MSOP), and operational characteristics. The primary distinction between these parts is the Voltage - Input Offset specification, where the LT1996AIMS#PBF exhibits a tighter tolerance (15 µV versus 25 µV), representing an enhanced performance grade within the same product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LT1996IMS#PBF and LT1996AIMS#PBF are Active product status devices manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. and maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulations. Both parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.

The LT1996AIMS#PBF represents an enhanced performance variant within the LT1996 product family, distinguished by a tighter input offset voltage specification (15 µV versus 25 µV). This specification difference does not affect functional compatibility or mechanical interchangeability. Selection between these parts should be based on the specific input offset voltage tolerance requirements of the application circuit. Applications requiring tighter input offset voltage control benefit from the LT1996AIMS#PBF specification, while applications with less stringent offset requirements are satisfied by either part.

Both devices are suitable for direct substitution in 10-MSOP surface mount applications requiring programmable gain amplification across the 2.7V to 36V supply range. Inventory availability should be considered as a secondary factor: the LT1996AIMS#PBF currently maintains higher stock levels (1958 pieces) compared to the LT1996IMS#PBF (686 pieces).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LT1996AIMS#PBF be used as a direct replacement for the LT1996IMS#PBF in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. The LT1996AIMS#PBF is electrically and mechanically compatible with the LT1996IMS#PBF. Both devices share identical package specifications (10-MSOP), pinout, supply voltage range (2.7V to 36V), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and all critical amplifier performance parameters including slew rate, gain bandwidth product, and output current capability. The parts are direct substitutes from a circuit design perspective.

Q: What is the difference between the LT1996IMS#PBF and LT1996AIMS#PBF?

A: The primary difference is the input offset voltage specification. The LT1996IMS#PBF specifies a maximum input offset voltage of 25 µV, while the LT1996AIMS#PBF specifies a maximum of 15 µV. This represents a tighter tolerance grade for the LT1996AIMS#PBF. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical between the two parts.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. Both the LT1996IMS#PBF and LT1996AIMS#PBF are supplied in 10-MSOP surface mount packages with identical physical dimensions (0.118" width, 3.00mm). Both are available in Tube packaging format and are suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the LT1996IMS#PBF and LT1996AIMS#PBF are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Both parts maintain Active product status with Analog Devices Inc.

Q: Which part should be selected for applications requiring precision input offset voltage control?

A: The LT1996AIMS#PBF should be selected for applications where tighter input offset voltage tolerance is required. The 15 µV maximum specification of the LT1996AIMS#PBF provides superior performance compared to the 25 µV specification of the LT1996IMS#PBF in precision signal conditioning and measurement applications.

Q: Are there any thermal or power consumption differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical supply current specifications (130 µA) and output current capability (21 mA per channel). Thermal performance and power dissipation characteristics are equivalent between the LT1996IMS#PBF and LT1996AIMS#PBF.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. There are no temperature-related restrictions on interchangeability between the LT1996IMS#PBF and LT1996AIMS#PBF.
