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 neces-
sary, because the input precision specifications are usu-
ally 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.
