Microchip Technology Intros MCP602X Family of Op Amps
Microchip Technology Inc. (Chandler, AZ) announced the MCP602X family of op amps for low-current, high-performance applications. The MCP602X op amps offer designers a cost-effective way to improve performance and increase the operational life of battery-powered systems for audio processing, communications, and test and medical equipment applications.
The MCP6021, MCP6022, MCP6023 and MCP6024 op amps offer rail-to-rail input and output that allows the full voltage supply range to be useful from 5.5V to 2.5V voltage supply operation. The MCP6021 (single), MCP6022 (dual) and MCP6024 (quad) devices meet industry-standard pin-outs in standard PDIP, SOIC and TSSOP packages. The devices feature unity gain stability with a gain bandwidth product of 10MHz, low noise (8.7nV/rtHz) and a maximum quiescent current of 1.35mA. The devices are fully specified from -40 to +85 degrees C.
"Many microcontrollers and DSPs operate down to 2.5V and these op amps, the building blocks of analog circuitry, support the trend toward these lower operating voltage levels. The introduction of the MCP602X family reinforces Microchip's commitment to delivering key value-added analog ICs that enable mobile and embedded control electronics," said Art Eck, product marketing manager for the Analog Interface Product Division at Microchip Technology.
Pricing in 1,000-unit quantities is $0.74 each for the MCP6021, $0.77 for the MCP6023, $0.95 for the MCP6022 and $1.38 for the MCP6024. Samples and volume quantities are now available. The devices are available in eight-pin PDIP, SOIC and MSOP packages and 14-pin PDIP, SOIC and TSSOP packages.
