There are two specifications that describe the output
swing capability of the MCP6041/2/3/4 family of op
amps. The first specification (Maximum Output Voltage
Swing) defines the absolute maximum swing that can
be achieved under the specified load condition. Thus,
the output voltage swings to within 10 mV of either sup-
ply rail with a 50 kΩ load to V
how the output voltage is limited when the input goes
beyond the linear region of operation.
The second specification that describes the output
swing capability of these amplifiers is the Linear Output
Voltage Range. This specification defines the maxi-
mum output swing that can be achieved while the
amplifier still operates in its linear region. To verify
linear operation in this range, the large signal DC

The MCP6041/2/3/4 op amp family has outstanding
quiescent current, which supports battery-powered
applications. There is minimal quiescent current
glitching when Chip Select (CS) is raised or lowered.
This prevents excessive current draw, and reduced
battery life, when the part is turned off or on.
Heavy resistive loads at the output can cause
excessive battery drain. Driving a DC voltage of 2.5V
across a 100 kΩ load resistor will cause the supply cur-
rent to increase by 25 µA, depleting the battery 43
times as fast as I
High frequency signals (fast edge rate) across
capacitive loads will also significantly increase supply
current. For instance, a 0.1 µF capacitor at the output
presents an AC impedance of 15.9 kΩ (1/2πfC) to a
100 Hz sinewave. It can be shown that the average
power drawn from the battery by a 5.0 V

Driving large capacitive loads can cause stability
problems for voltage feedback op amps. As the load
capacitance increases, the feedback loop’s phase
margin decreases and the closed-loop bandwidth is
reduced. This produces gain peaking in the frequency
response, with overshoot and ringing in the step
response. A unity gain buffer (G = +1) is the most
sensitive to capacitive loads, although all gains show
the same general behavior.
When driving large capacitive loads with these op
amps (e.g., > 60 pF when G = +1), a small series
resistor at the output (R

output load resistive at higher frequencies. The
bandwidth will be generally lower than the bandwidth
with no capacitive load.
