OPA4188: Power On Reset

Sadanori Kato

Part Number: OPA4188
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA4197, OPA376

Hi,

Does OPA4188 have the function of power on reset(POR) such as OPA4197 ?
It seems that OPA4188 doesn't have that function when confirming the operation of OPA4188.

Best regards,

Hi Sadanori,

I appreciate your many interesting contributions here! It was a big surprise for me that the OPA4197 has a power on reset. I think somehow that this should be mentioned in the datasheet...

Hi Kai,

Thank YOU for all your help!

In the past package-level trimmed parts like OPA376 would have Vos and drift trim fuses blown by high current (>120mA) sent thru tiny poly resistor but most modern package-level trimmed parts like OPA4197 use OTP technology to set the trimmed code that gets fed in during power-up (POR).

Sadanori,

Since OPA4188 is a chopper amplifier that continously self-calibrates in the real time, there is no trimming being done, thus there can be no talk of POR.
