Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of
microcontroller, analog, and Flash-IP solutions, offers MCP6401/2/4 Operational
Amplifiers (Op Amps), which add to Microchip’s general-purpose op amp portfolio
by providing lower power consumption in small packages. Featuring quiescent
current of just 45 microamperes with a Gain Bandwidth Product (GBWP) of 1 MHz, the
MCP6401/2/4 op amps complement Microchip’s eXtreme Low Power PIC
microcontrollers (MCUs), helping to extend battery life in a variety of medical
applications (e.g., glucometers and portable patient-monitoring devices), among
others.
Additional features include a maximum offset voltage of
+/-4.5 mV and a supply-voltage range of 1.8 to 6 V over the extended
temperature range of -40 to 125ºC. The op amps are unity gain stable and
feature Rail-to-Rail Input and Output operation, for better performance across
the entire voltage range.
