Product details
Overview
OPA4388ID from Texas Instruments is a quad-channel, zero-drift, rail-to-rail input/output precision operational amplifier optimized for high-accuracy signal conditioning in DC-critical applications. It delivers ±0.25 µV typical offset voltage, ±0.005 µV/°C drift, 10 MHz gain bandwidth, and true rail-to-rail operation from 2.5 V to 5.5 V single supply - enabling direct interfacing with 16-bit+ ADCs in weigh scales and temperature transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the OPA4388ID datasheet, OPA4388ID pinout, OPA4388ID application, or OPA4388ID equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-14 package details, quad-channel pin mapping, and validated alternatives for precision analog front-end design - with emphasis on low-offset stability, zero-crossover CMRR, and EMI-filtered inputs.
Technical Context
The OPA4388ID implements auto-zeroing and chopper-stabilized architecture to eliminate 1/f noise and maintain ultra-low offset drift across –40°C to +125°C. Its zero-crossover design preserves 140-dB CMRR at rail-to-rail common-mode input, avoiding output discontinuities during input transitions near supply rails.
Each of its four independent amplifiers features matched input bias current (±30 pA typ), 7.0 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, and fast 2 µs settling to 0.01% for step responses - supporting high-speed, high-resolution data acquisition without linearity degradation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA4188IDR | Higher offset (±25 µV), lower GBW (2 MHz), no zero-crossover - lacks 140-dB CMRR at rail extremes | Suitable for lower-accuracy industrial controls but not for 24-bit ADC drivers | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs sub-ppm linearity requirements |
| LTC2057HMS#PBF | Lower noise (3.5 nV/√Hz), higher quiescent current (1.1 mA/ch), TSSOP-16 only - no SOIC-14 option | Preferred for ultra-low-noise medical sensors; incompatible pinout requires PCB redesign | Choose for battery-powered handheld instruments where noise dominates over power |
Compared with OPA4388ID, OPA4188IDR trades 100× higher offset for lower cost and wider supply range, while LTC2057HMS#PBF improves noise by 50% at 3× quiescent current and non-pin-compatible packaging - making OPA4388ID optimal for space-constrained, high-linearity, rail-to-rail industrial modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for OPA4388ID?
The OPA4388ID is fully specified from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. All key parameters - including offset voltage, drift, CMRR, and open-loop gain - are guaranteed across this industrial temperature range per Revision D production data. Thermal metrics confirm RθJA = 86.4°C/W for the SOIC-14 package, enabling reliable operation in enclosed enclosures without forced airflow.
Does OPA4388ID support true rail-to-rail input and output?
Yes, OPA4388ID supports true rail-to-rail input (V– – 0.1 V to V+ + 0.1 V) and output (within 15 mV of either rail with no load). This is confirmed in Section 6.7 of the SBOS777D datasheet under "Common-mode voltage range" and "Voltage output swing from rail." The zero-crossover architecture ensures continuous, glitch-free operation across the entire input range - unlike conventional RRIO op-amps that exhibit crossover distortion near supply rails.
What is the quiescent current per amplifier for OPA4388ID?
OPA4388ID draws 1.7–2.4 mA per amplifier at VS = ±1.25 V (2.5 V total) and 1.9–2.6 mA per amplifier at VS = ±2.75 V (5.5 V total), with no variation across –40°C to +125°C. As a quad device, total supply current ranges from 6.8 mA to 10.4 mA depending on supply voltage - enabling low-power precision performance in battery-backed instrumentation.
Is OPA4388ID pin-compatible with other OPAx388 variants?
No - OPA4388ID uses a 14-pin SOIC (D) package with dedicated pins for all four channels (including V– on pin 11 and V+ on pin 4), whereas OPA388 (single) uses 5- or 8-pin packages and OPA2388 (dual) uses 8-pin layouts. Pin mapping is unique to the quad version; direct substitution requires PCB redesign. However, electrical behavior and AC/DC specs are consistent across the OPAx388 family.
What load capacitance can OPA4388ID safely drive?
OPA4388ID is characterized to drive ≥100 pF capacitive loads with stable small-signal response (Figure 6-26), and supports resistive loads down to 2 kΩ while maintaining rail-to-rail output swing. For larger capacitive loads (>500 pF), external isolation resistor (e.g., 10–50 Ω) between amplifier output and load is recommended per Figure 6-26 guidance - ensuring phase margin remains >60° in closed-loop configurations.
