Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of
microcontroller, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced the MCP6V2X
family of operational amplifiers (op amps). The new devices feature a
self-correcting auto-zero architecture, which enables ultra-high precision,
including an input offset voltage of just 2 microvolts and a gain bandwidth
product of 2 MHz. With low noise of 50 nV/root Hz, the MCP6V2X family is a
lower-noise alternative to Microchip’s existing family of auto-zero op amps.
Their low 2.3V to 5.5V operating voltage allows batteries to be fully utilized,
and their rail-to-rail input/output structure allows for full-range use, even
in low-supply conditions. The devices are available in a compact, 8-pin MSOP
package, and are ideal for applications in the consumer, industrial and medical
markets, such as sensor and signal conditioning and instrumentation.
Applications that require low noise, low-voltage operation,
ultra-high precision and low drift can benefit from the performance and
features of the MCP6V2X family. With their auto-zero architecture, the devices
offer very high accuracy over time and temperature, and their lower noise
provides for higher accuracy and repeatability. Additionally, the MCP6V2X
family’s low-voltage operation with rail-to-rail input/output enables greater
dynamic range, which leads to better performance across the entire
operating-voltage range.
“Microchip continues to leverage its expertise in
high-precision amplifier design with the addition of the MCP6V2X series,” said
Bryan J. Liddiard, vice president of marketing with Microchip’s Analog and
Interface Products Division. “By providing a lower-noise, smaller-package
alternative to Microchip’s existing op amp portfolio, we continue to meet the
needs of our customers.”
