Microchip MCP601-I/P CMOS Operational Amplifier, DIP, 8 Pin

The Microchip MCP601-I/P is a low-power, general-purpose operational amplifier in a single-channel configuration. Utilising advanced CMOS technology, this op-amp delivers low input bias current, high-speed operation, high open-loop gain and rail-to-rail output swing, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of analogue applications.

Operating from a single supply voltage as low as 2.7V and drawing a typical quiescent current of just 230µA per amplifier, this device is ideal for low-power and battery-operated circuits. The common-mode input voltage range extends 0.3V below ground, ensuring reliable single-supply operation, while the unity-gain stable design simplifies circuit implementation.

With a gain bandwidth product of 2.8MHz and a slew rate of 2.3V/µs, the MCP601 is well-suited for A/D converter driver amplifiers and anti-aliasing filters, thanks to its wide bandwidth and low input bias current. The device is housed in an 8-pin DIP package with through-hole mounting, and operates over a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, meeting AEC-Q100 automotive qualification standards.

Typical applications include portable equipment, A/D converter drivers, photo-diode pre-amplifiers, analogue filters, data acquisition systems, notebook and PDA circuitry, and sensor interfaces.
