Layout and Passive Components
The LT1364/LT1365 amplifiers are easy to use and toler-
ant of less than ideal layouts. For maximum performance
(for example, fast 0.01% settling) use a ground plane,
short lead lengths, and RF-quality bypass capacitors
(0.01µF to 0.1µF). For high drive current applications use
low ESR bypass capacitors (1µF to 10µF tantalum).
The parallel combination of the feedback resistor and gain
setting resistor on the inverting input combine with the
input capacitance to form a pole which can cause peaking
or oscillations. If feedback resistors greater than 5kΩ are
used, a parallel capacitor of value

should be used to cancel the input pole and optimize
dynamic performance. For unity-gain applications where
a large feedback resistor is used, C

Input Considerations
Each of the LT1364/LT1365 inputs is the base of an NPN
and a PNP transistor whose base currents are of opposite
polarity and provide first-order bias current cancellation.
Because of variation in the matching of NPN and PNP beta,
the polarity of the input bias current can be positive or
negative. The offset current does not depend on NPN/PNP
beta matching and is well controlled. The use of balanced
source resistance at each input is recommended for
applications where DC accuracy must be maximized.
The inputs can withstand transient differential input volt-
ages up to 10V without damage and need no clamping or
source resistance for protection. Differential inputs, how-
ever, generate large supply currents (tens of mA) as
required for high slew rates. If the device is used with
sustained differential inputs, the average supply current
will increase, excessive power dissipation will result and
the part may be damaged. The part should not be used as
