Description
The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP6231 operational
amplifier (op amp) provides wide bandwidth for the
quiescent current. The MCP6231 has a 300 kHz Gain
Bandwidth Product (GBWP) and 65° (typ.) phase
margin. This op amp operates from a single supply
voltage as low as 1.8V, while drawing 20 µA (typ.)
quiescent current. In addition, the MCP6231 supports
rail-to-rail input and output swing, with a common mode
input voltage range of V
DD
+ 300 mV to V
SS
- 300 mV.
This op amp is designed in one of Microchip’s
advanced CMOS processes.
The MCP6231 operates in the Extended temperature
range of -40°C to +125°C. It has a power supply range
of 1.8V to 5.5V.
