Microchip Technology Rolls Out Auto-Zero Operational Amplifiers

MCHP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Microchip Technology, a provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, announced the MCP6V01/2/3 (MCP6V0X) auto-zero operational amplifiers (op amps).

The low-power op amps feature a self-correcting architecture with an input offset voltage of just 2 micro Volts maximum. They also feature high common-mode rejection, rail-to-rail input/output and low quiescent current, battery-powered instrumentation devices, the company said.

With their low operating-voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and low typical quiescent current of just 300 microamperes, the MCP6V0X op amps can run off two 1.5V cells with full battery utilization.

"Microchip continues to leverage its low-power CMOS technology to provide yet another industry-leading op amp family," said Bryan Liddiard, VP of marketing with Microchip's Analog and Interface Products Division. "The MCP6V0X amplifiers extend our op amp portfolio into the ultra high-precision marketplace, and provide critical intellectual property for continued growth in this area."

Kevin Tretter, senior product marketing engineer with Microchip's Analog and Interface Products Division, said, "The MCP6V0X op amps' extremely low offset and rail-to-rail performance provide tremendous flexibility, with regard to gain control and dynamic range. We expect these devices to enable new markets in instrumentation."
