Product Overviews
Operational Amplifiers (Op Amps)
Microchip Technology offers a broad portfolio of op amp
families built on advanced CMOS technology. These families
are offered in single, dual and quad configurations, which
are available in space saving packages.
These op amp families include devices with Quiescent
Current (I
a Gain Bandwidth Product (GBWP) between 10 kHz and
60 MHz, respectively. The op amp with lowest supply voltage
(V
with highest V
These op amp families fall into the following categories:
General Purpose, Low Offset, Auto-zeroed, High Speed, Low
Noise and mCal (self calibrating input offset voltage (V
Comparators
The MCP6541 and MCP6561 family of comparators
provide ultra low power, 600 nA typical, and higher speed
with 40 ns propagation delay, respectively. The MCP6541
family low operating current is suitable for battery powered
application and the output drive capability is ideal for alert
buzzer driver applications. The MCP6561 family with greater
than 4 MHz toggle frequency is ideal for higher speed
embedded system applications where sinusoidal output
from sensors to square wave conversion is needed. The
47 ns typical propagation delay also makes this device ideal
for microprocessor interface. Both families of comparators
are available with single, dual and quad as well as with
push-pull and open-drain output options (MCP6546 and
MCP6566).
Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA)
The MCP6S21/2/6/8 and MCP6S91/2/3 PGA families
give the designer digital control over an amplifier using
a serial interface (SPI bus). An input analog multiplexer
with 1, 2, 6 or 8 inputs can be set to the desired input
signal. The gain can be set to one of eight non-inverting
gains: +1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16 and 32 V/V. In addition, a
software shutdown mode offers significant power savings
for portable embedded designs. This is all achieved in one
simple integrated part that allows for considerably greater
bandwidth, while maintaining a low supply current. Systems
with multiple sensors are significantly simplified.
The MCP6G01 family are analog Selectable Gain Amplifiers
(SGA). The Gain Select input pin(s) set a gain of +1 V/V,
+10 V/V and +50 V/V. The Chip Select pin on the
MCP6G03 puts it into shutdown to conserve power.

Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC)
Microchip offers a broad portfolio of high-precision
Delta-Sigma, SAR and Dual Slope A/D Converters. The
MCP3550/1/3 Delta-Sigma ADCs offer up to 22-bit
resolution with only 120 μA typical current consumption in
a small 8-pin MSOP package. The MCP3421 is a single
channel Delta-Sigma ADC and is available in a small 6-pin
SOT-23 package. It includes a voltage reference and PGA.
The user can select the conversion resolution up to 18 bits.
The MCP3422/3 and the MCP3424 are two channel and
four channel versions, respectively, of the MCP3421 device.
The MCP300X (10-bit), MCP320X (12-bit) and MCP330X
(13-bit) SAR ADCs combine high performance and low
power consumption in a small package, making them ideal
for embedded control applications. The TC5XX Dual Slope
ADC devices offer another alternative with up to 17-bits of
conversion resolution.
The “Analog-to-Digital Converter Design Guide” (Microchip
Document No. 21841) shows various application examples
of the ADC devices.
Microchip also offers many high accuracy energy metering
devices which are based on the Delta-Sigma ADC cores.
The “Complete Utility Metering Solution Guide” (Microchip
Document No: 24930) offers detailed solutions for metering
applications.
Voltage References
Microchip offers the MCP15XX family of low power and low
dropout precision Voltage References. The family includes
the MCP1525 with an output voltage of 2.5V and the
MCP1541 with an output voltage of 4.096V. Microchip’s
voltage references are offered in SOT23-3 and TO-92
packages.
