Microchip introduces general-purpose op amps
Microchip Technology
General-purpose op amps
Microchip has developed op amps that can be used in medical monitors, sensors in automotive applications and industrial power supplies, for example.
The MCP6H01 and MCP6H02 (MCP6H01/2) feature a low typical quiescent current of 135uA with a gain-bandwidth product of 1.2MHz and supply voltage from 3.5V to 16V.
These devices also combine a maximum offset voltage of 3.5mV, as well as a typical common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 100dB and typical power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of 102dB.
The MCP6H01/2 are designed for applications that operate on voltages up to 16V, such as portable instrumentation, heart- and blood-pressure monitors in the medical sector; proximity, temperature or flow sensors in automotive applications; and high-side current-sensing in power supplies for industrial markets.
The high CMRR and PSRR improve noise performance, while the low current consumption and space-saving package make the MCP6H01/2 suitable for portable applications.
