OPA188 Precision, Low-Noise, Rail-to-Rail Output, 36-V, Zero-Drift
Operational Amplifier
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
The OPA188 operational amplifier uses TI's
proprietary auto-zeroing techniques to provide low
offset voltage (25-μV maximum) and near zero-drift
over time and temperature. This miniature, highprecision, low-quiescent current amplifier offers high
input impedance and rail-to-rail output swing within 15
mV of the rails. The input common-mode range
includes the negative rail. Either single or dual
supplies can be used in the range from 4 V to 36 V
(±2 V to ±18 V).

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Input terminals are diode-clamped to the power-supply rails. Input signals that can swing more than 0.5 V beyond the supply rails should
be current-limited to 10 mA or less.
Short-circuit to ground, V-, or V+.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The OPA188 operational amplifier combines precision offset and drift with excellent overall performance, making
this device an excellent choice for many precision applications. The precision offset drift of only 0.085 µV/°C
provides stability over the entire temperature range. In addition, this device offers excellent overall performance
with high CMRR, PSRR, and AOL. As with all amplifiers, applications with noisy or high-impedance power
supplies require decoupling capacitors close to the device pins. In most cases, 0.1-µF capacitors are adequate.
The OPA188 device is part of a family of zero-drift, low-power, rail-to-rail output operational amplifiers. These
devices operate from 4 V to 36 V, are unity-gain stable, and are designed for a wide range of general-purpose
applications. The zero-drift architecture provides ultra-low input offset voltage and near-zero input offset voltage
drift over temperature and time. This choice of architecture also offers outstanding ac performance, such as ultralow broadband noise and zero flicker noise.

8.3 Feature Description
The OPA188 is unity-gain stable and free from unexpected output phase reversal. This device uses a
proprietary, periodic zero-drift technique to provide low input offset voltage and very low input offset voltage drift
over temperature. For lowest offset voltage and precision performance, optimize circuit layout and mechanical
conditions. Avoid temperature gradients that create thermoelectric (Seebeck) effects in the thermocouple
junctions formed from connecting dissimilar conductors. Cancel these thermally-generated potentials by ensuring
the potentials are equal on both input pins. Other layout and design considerations include:
• Use low thermoelectric-coefficient conditions (avoid dissimilar metals).
• Thermally isolate components from power supplies or other heat sources.
• Shield the operational amplifier and input circuitry from air currents, such as cooling fans.
Follow these guidelines to reduce the likelihood of junctions being at different temperatures, which may cause
thermoelectric voltages of 0.1 µV/°C or higher, depending on the materials used.
8.3.1 Operating Characteristics
The OPA188 is specified for operation from 4 V to 36 V (±2 V to ±18 V). Many specifications apply from –40°C to
+125°C. Parameters that can exhibit significant variance with regard to operating voltage or temperature are
presented in Typical Characteristics.
8.3.2 Phase-Reversal Protection
The OPA188 has an internal phase-reversal protection. Many op amps exhibit a phase reversal when the input is
driven beyond the linear common-mode range. This condition is most often encountered in noninverting circuits
when the input is driven beyond the specified common-mode voltage range, causing the output to reverse into
the opposite rail. The OPA188 input prevents phase reversal with excessive common-mode voltage. Instead, the
output limits into the appropriate rail; Figure 39 shows this performance.

8.3.3 Input Bias Current Clock Feedthrough
Zero-drift amplifiers (such as the OPA188) use switching on the inputs to correct for the intrinsic offset and drift of
the amplifier. Charge injection from the integrated switches on the inputs can introduce very short transients in
the input bias current of the amplifier. The extremely short duration of these pulses prevents the device from
being amplified. However, the devices may be coupled to the output of the amplifier through the feedback
network. The most effective method to prevent transients in the input bias current from producing additional noise
at the amplifier output is to use a low-pass filter such as an RC network.
8.3.4 Internal Offset Correction
The OPA188 op amp uses an auto-calibration technique with a time-continuous 750-kHz op amp in the signal
path. This amplifier is zero-corrected every 3 μs using a proprietary technique. Upon power up, the amplifier
requires approximately 100 μs to achieve the specified VOS accuracy. This design has no aliasing or flicker noise.

8.3.5 EMI Rejection
The OPA188 uses integrated electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering to reduce the effects of EMI interference
from sources such as wireless communications and densely-populated boards with a mix of analog signal chain
and digital components. EMI immunity can be improved with circuit design techniques; the benefits from these
design improvements. Texas Instruments™ has developed the ability to accurately measure and quantify the
immunity of an operational amplifier over a broad frequency spectrum extending from 10 MHz to 6 GHz.
Figure 40 shows the results of this testing on the OPA188 . Table 4 lists the EMIRR IN+ values for theOPA188 at
particular frequencies commonly encountered in real-world applications. Applications listed in Table 4 may be
centered on or operated near the particular frequency shown. Detailed information can also be found in EMI

8.3.6 Capacitive Load and Stability
The device dynamic characteristics are optimized for a range of common operating conditions. The combination
of low closed-loop gain and high capacitive loads decreases the amplifier phase margin and can lead to gain
peaking or oscillations. As a result, larger capacitive loads must be isolated from the output. The simplest way to
achieve this isolation is to add a small resistor (for example, ROUT equal to 50 Ω) in series with the output.
Figure 41 and Figure 42 show graphs of small-signal overshoot versus capacitive load for several values of
ROUT. For details of analysis techniques and application circuits, see Feedback Plots Define Op Amp AC

8.3.7 Electrical Overstress
Designers often ask questions about the capability of an operational amplifier to withstand electrical overstress.
These questions tend to focus on the device inputs, but may involve the supply voltage pins or the output pin.
Each of these different pin functions have electrical stress limits determined by the voltage breakdown
characteristics of the particular semiconductor fabrication process and specific circuits connected to the pin.
Additionally, internal electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is built into these circuits to protect them from
accidental ESD events both before and during product assembly.
Having a good understanding of this basic ESD circuitry and its relevance to an electrical overstress event is
helpful. See Figure 43 for an illustration of the ESD circuits contained in the OPA188 (indicated by the dashed
line area). The ESD protection circuitry involves several current-steering diodes connected from the input and
output pins and routed back to the internal power-supply lines, where the diodes meet at an internal absorption
device of the operational amplifier. This protection circuitry is intended to remain inactive during normal circuit
operation.
An ESD event produces a short-duration, high-voltage pulse that is transformed into a short-duration, highcurrent pulse while discharging through a semiconductor device. The ESD protection circuits are designed to
provide a current path around the operational amplifier core to prevent damage. The energy absorbed by the
protection circuitry is dissipated as heat.
When an ESD voltage develops across two or more amplifier device pins, current flows through one or more
steering diodes. Depending on the path that the current takes, the absorption device may activate. The
absorption device has a trigger, or threshold voltage, that is above the normal operating voltage of the OPA188
but below the device breakdown voltage level. When this threshold is exceeded, the absorption device quickly
activates and clamps the voltage across the supply rails to a safe level.
When the operational amplifier connects into a circuit (such as Figure 43 shows), the ESD protection
components are intended to remain inactive and do not become involved in the operation of the application
circuit. However, circumstances may arise where an applied voltage exceeds the operating voltage range of a
given pin. If this condition occurs, there is a risk that some internal ESD protection circuits may be biased on and
conduct current. Any such current flow occurs through steering-diode paths and rarely involves the absorption
device.
Figure 43 shows a specific example where the input voltage, VIN, exceeds the positive supply voltage (+VS) by
500 mV or more. Much of what happens in the circuit depends on the supply characteristics. If +VS can sink the
current, one of the upper-input steering diodes conducts and directs current to +VS. Excessively high current
levels can flow with increasingly higher VIN. As a result, the data sheet specifications recommend that
applications limit the input current to 10 mA.
If the supply is not capable of sinking the current, VIN may begin sourcing current to the operational amplifier, and
then take over as the source of positive supply voltage. The danger in this case is that the voltage can rise to
levels that exceed the absolute maximum ratings of the operational amplifier.

Another common question involves what happens to the amplifier if an input signal is applied to the input while
the power supplies (+VS or –VS) are at 0 V. Again, this question depends on the supply characteristic while at 0
V, or at a level below the input signal amplitude. If the supplies appear as high impedance, then the operational
amplifier supply current may be supplied by the input source through the current-steering diodes. This state is not
a normal bias condition; the amplifier will not operate normally. If the supplies are low impedance, then the
current through the steering diodes can become quite high. The current level depends on the ability of the input
source to deliver current, and any resistance in the input path.
If there is any uncertainty about the ability of the supply to absorb this current, external zener diodes may be
added to the supply pins, as shown in Figure 43. The zener voltage must be selected such that the diode does
not turn on during normal operation. However, the zener voltage must be low enough so that the zener diode
conducts if the supply pin begins to rise above the safe operating supply voltage level.

Figure 43. Equivalent Internal ESD Circuitry Relative to a Typical Circuit Application
The OPA188 input terminals are protected from excessive differential voltage with back-to-back diodes, as
shown in Figure 43. In most circuit applications, the input protection circuitry has no consequence. However, in
low-gain and G = 1 circuits, fast-ramping input signals can forward-bias these diodes because the output of the
amplifier cannot respond rapidly enough to the input ramp. If the input signal is fast enough to create this
forward-bias condition, the input signal current must be limited to 10 mA or less. If the input signal current is not
inherently limited, an input series resistor can be used to limit the signal input current. This input series resistor
degrades the low-noise performance of the OPA188 . Figure 43 shows an example configuration that implements
a current-limiting feedback resistor.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
The OPA188 has a single functional mode, and is operational when the power-supply voltage is greater than 4.5
V (±2.25 V). The maximum power supply voltage for the OPA188 is 36 V (±18 V).

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The OPA188 operational amplifier combines precision offset and drift with excellent overall performance, making
this device an excellent choice for many precision applications. The precision offset drift of only 0.085 µV/°C
provides stability over the entire temperature range. In addition, the device pairs excellent CMRR, PSRR, and
AOL dc performance with outstanding low-noise operation. As with all amplifiers, applications with noisy or highimpedance power supplies require decoupling capacitors close to the device pins. In most cases, 0.1-µF
capacitors are adequate.
The following application examples highlight only a few of the circuits where the OPA188 can be used.
9.2 Typical Applications
9.2.1 High-Side Voltage-to-Current (V-I) Converter
The circuit shown in Figure 44 is a high-side voltage-to-current (V-I) converter. The converter translates an input
voltage of 0 V to 2 V to an output current of 0 mA to 100 mA. Figure 45 shows the measured transfer function for
this circuit. The low offset voltage and offset drift of the OPA188 facilitate excellent dc accuracy for the circuit.

Typical Applications (continued)
9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
The design requirements are:
• Supply voltage: 5 V dc
• Input: 0 V to 2 V dc
• Output: 0 mA to 100 mA dc
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The V-I transfer function of the circuit is based on the relationship between the input voltage, VIN, and the three
current sensing resistors, RS1, RS2, and RS3. The relationship between VIN and RS1 determines the current that
flows through the first stage of the design. The current gain from the first stage to the second stage is based on
the relationship between RS2 and RS3.
For a successful design, pay close attention to the dc characteristics of the operational amplifier chosen for the
application. To meet the performance goals, this application benefits from an operational amplifier with low offset
voltage, low temperature drift, and rail-to-rail output. The OPA188 CMOS operational amplifier is a highprecision, ultra-low offset, ultra-low drift amplifier, optimized for low-voltage, single-supply operation, with an
output swing to within 15 mV of the positive rail. The devices in the OPA188 family use chopping techniques to
provide low initial offset voltage and near-zero drift over time and temperature. Low offset voltage and low drift
reduce the offset error in the system, making this device appropriate for precise dc control. The rail-to-rail output
stage of the OPA188 makes sure that the output swing of the operational amplifier is able to fully control the gate
of the MOSFET devices within the supply rails.
A detailed error analysis, design procedure, and additional measured results are given in reference design
TIPD102, a step-by-step process to design a High-Side Voltage-to-Current (V-I) Converter.
For step-by-step design procedure, circuit schematics, bill of materials, PCB files, simulation results, and test results, refer to Precision

9.2.4 Low-Side Current Monitor
Figure 48 shows the OPA188 configured in a low-side current-sensing application. The load current (ILOAD)
creates a voltage drop across the shunt resistor (RSHUNT). This voltage is amplified by the OPA188, with a gain of
201. The load current is set from 0 A to 500 mA, which corresponds to an output voltage range from 0 V to 10 V.
The output range can be adjusted by changing the shunt resistor or gain of the configuration. Click the following

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The OPA188 is specified for operation from 4 V to 36 V (±2 V to ±18 V); many specifications apply from –40°C to
+125°C. Typical Characteristics presents parameters that can exhibit significant variance with regard to operating
voltage or temperature.
CAUTION
Supply voltages larger than 40 V can permanently damage the device (see the
Absolute Maximum Ratings).
Place 0.1-μF bypass capacitors close to the power-supply pins to reduce errors coupling in from noisy or highimpedance power supplies. For more detailed information on bypass capacitor placement, see Layout.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
For best operational performance of the device, use good printed circuit board (PCB) layout practices, including:
• Connect Low-ESR, 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitors between each supply pin and ground, placed as close
to the device as possible. A single bypass capacitor from V+ to ground is applicable to single-supply
applications.
• To reduce parasitic coupling, run the input traces as far away from the supply lines as possible.
• Use a ground plane to help distribute heat and reduces EMI noise pickup.
• Place the external components as close to the device as possible. This configuration prevents parasitic errors
(such as the Seebeck effect) from occurring.
• Consider a driven, low-impedance guard ring around the critical traces. A guard ring can significantly reduce
leakage currents from nearby traces that are at different potentials.
