MCP601-I/P

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Overview

The MCP601-I/P is a single-channel operational amplifier from the Microchip Technology MCP601 family, housed in an 8-lead PDIP package. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 6.0V with a typical quiescent current of 230 µA per amplifier. The device features a gain bandwidth product of 2.8 MHz and a slew rate of 2.3 V/µs. Input offset voltage is typically 2 mV at +25°C, extending to 3 mV across the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The input bias current is typically 1 pA, and the output swing is rail-to-rail.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'I' corresponds to the Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) as specified in the datasheet. Confirm the package type matches the required 8-lead PDIP form factor. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the absolute maximum ratings of 7.0V between supply pins. Check for moisture sensitivity requirements during storage and handling.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel op amp with rail-to-rail output is required within a 2.7V to 6.0V supply range. The MCP601-I/P is appropriate for designs prioritizing low power consumption alongside moderate speed performance. Consider the 2.8 MHz gain bandwidth product for signal conditioning tasks. Verify that the industrial temperature range meets the environmental constraints of the target system.
