Microchip has released two new families of low-power, single-supply, extended-temperature, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifiers (op amps) in single, dual and quad packages. Including products in ultrasmall SOT-23 and SC-70 packages, the new MCP623X and MCP624X families expand Microchip's total op amp portfolio to more than 50 products in 10kHz to 10MHz bandwidths. The MCP623X and MCP624X op amps feature an extended industrial-temperature range of -40 to +125C.
The devices also offer low voltage operation down to 1.8V.
The MCP623X devices have a typical current consumption of 20uA for a 300kHz bandwidth, whereas the MCP624X devices typically consume 50uA for a 650 kHz bandwidth.
To assist designers, Microchip provides the FilterLab active filter software design tool and Spice macro models free of charge from its website.
The FilterLab tool gives users full schematic diagrams of their filter circuit design with component values, and displays the frequency response, which makes designing variable filters using Microchip's op amps easier.
The Spice macro models enable engineers to complete analogue simulation and modelling of their circuit design.
The single op-amps (MCP6231, MCP6241) are available in 5-pin SC-70 and SOT-23 packages.
The dual op-amps (MCP6232, MCP6242), as well as the single devices, are available in 8-pin PDIP, SOIC and MSOP packages.
The quad op-amps (MCP6234, MCP6244) are offered in 14-pin PDIP, SOIC and TSSOP packages.
All six devices, in the various package options, are available today for sampling and volume production.
