Microchip announces that it has expanded its linear product portfolio with the MCP6031, MCP6032, MCP6033 and MCP6034 operational amplifiers. The devices have a quiescent current of 900nA and a bandwidth of 10kHz. The amplifiers are ideal for handheld, portable electronic devices used in the medical, industrial and consumer markets. Microchip’s low-power CMOS technology and non-volatile memory for in-package trimming enables the MCP603X amplifiers’ offset of 150 μV at 25oC.

The devices’ low power consumption extends battery life, and their rail-to-rail input/output structure enables greater dynamic range and better performance across the entire operating-voltage range. As with all of Microchip’s amplifiers, the MCP603X amplifiers are supported by FilterLab filter-design software. The software provides full schematic diagrams of filter circuits with component values, and displays frequency response. It is available for free from Microchip’s Web. The MCP6031, MCP6032 and MCP6033 amplifiers are available in 8-pin MSOP and SOIC packages, and the MCP6034 in 14-pin SOIC and TSSOP packages.
