OPA188: input differential limit

Part Number: OPA188
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA2188,

Hi team,

I see OPA188 has +- 0.7 differential limit. Is it due to the diode clamp? I didn't see OPA2188 has this limit in datasheet.

Thanks.

  • Jerry,

    Both, OPA188 and OPA2188, have back-to-back input parasitic diodes (not showing it in OPA2188 must have been oversight), which requires the maximum differential voltage of 0.7V UNLESS the input current is limited to 10mA or less - see below.
