Microchip’s new 16V op amps deliver low quiescent current
of 135 μA
Key Facts:
- New op amps extend battery life & improve noise performance
- Space-saving packages support use in portable applications
- Designed for automotive, industrial, medical, battery-powered and other applications
Microchip has announced the MCP6H01 and MCP6H02 (MCP6H01/2) general-purpose op amps featuring a low typical quiescent current of 135 μA with a gain-bandwidth product of 1.2 MHz and supply voltage from 3.5V to 16V. These devices also combine a maximum offset voltage of 3.5 mV, as well as a typical Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) of 100 dB and typical Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) of 102 dB.
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, whilst the low current consumption and space-saving package make the MCP6H01/2 suitable for portable applications.
