TI continues to set the standard for precision amplifiers with the introduction of the first operational amplifier (opamp) featuring zero-drift and zero-crossover technology. The OPA388 op amp maintains high accuracy over the entire input range and is suitable for a variety of industrial applications, including test and measurement, medical and safety equipment, and high-resolution data acquisition systems.


The unique structure of the OPA388 achieves an industry-leading combination of ultra-high input linearity and accuracy. TI's Zero-Drift Technology eliminates temperature drift and flicker noise for the highest DC accuracy and dynamic error correction, while its Zero-Crossover Topology eliminates offset errors caused by common-mode limiting, resulting in linear output and true rail-to-rail input operation.

Key features and benefits of the OPA388 operational amplifier:

  • True precision with ultra-high input linearity: The device's zero-crossover topology eliminates the input offset transition region of traditional complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) op amps, ensuring maximum linearity and minimum distortion over the entire common-mode input range.

  • Provides high DC precision: TI's zero-drift technology provides maximum offset voltage as low as 5 μV, typical offset voltage drift of 0.005 μV/°C and maximum input bias current of 700 pA over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. It eliminates the need for costly thermal calibration while increasing DC precision.

  • Supports wide bandwidth operation: With a 10 MHz gain bandwidth product (GBW), the OPA388 can be configured for high gain and can acquire a wide range of signal types and frequencies. From precision weigh scales to heart rate monitors, the OPA388 supports these devices.

  • Maintaining high performance with low distortion: Ultra-low total harmonic distortion of -132dBc and voltage noise of 7nV/√Hz help create high-resolution signal chains for specialized applications such as programmable logic controllers, precision field transmitters, and motion control equipment.

  • Reduced complexity and cost: Zero-drift and zero-crossover techniques are used to reduce signal chain complexity and external component count, allowing designers to minimize board space and bill of materials (BOM) costs.

The tools and support you need to start designing today

TI offers a range of support tools for designers using the OPA388, including a reference design that demonstrates how to use precision op amps to eliminate crossover nonlinearities in digital-to-analog converters . The reference design uses the DAC8830 precision data converter and the REF5050 voltage reference to create an accurate DC calibration system for high-precision applications in wireless infrastructure and test and measurement.

Packaging, Availability and Pricing

The OPA388 is available now in a 4.9-mm-by-3.9-mm small outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package through the TI store and authorized distributors.
