MCP6G01-E/SN

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Overview

The MCP6G01-E/SN is a single-channel Selectable Gain Amplifier (SGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It provides three fixed gain options of +1 V/V, +10 V/V, and +50 V/V via the GSEL pin. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.8V to 5.5V with a typical quiescent current of 110 µA. It features rail-to-rail input and output capabilities, low offset voltage drift, and an extended operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Feature Summary

• Configurable for three discrete gain levels: +1, +10, or +50 V/V through a dedicated logic input.
• Supports full rail-to-rail signal swing at both the input and output stages.
• Operates efficiently with low power consumption suitable for battery-powered applications.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'E' corresponds to the required industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +125°C). Confirm the package type matches the design requirements, as this part number indicates an SOIC-8 configuration. Ensure the application circuit accommodates the tri-level logic requirements for the GSEL pin to select the correct gain state.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-supply amplifier requires programmable gain without external resistors. It is suitable for systems needing rail-to-rail performance and low power dissipation. Consider the bandwidth limitations at higher gains (+50 V/V) compared to lower gains (+1 V/V) when designing high-speed signal paths.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Part Context

This device belongs to the MCP6G01/1R/1U/2/3/4 family of Selectable Gain Amplifiers. While other variants in the series offer dual or quad channels or different packaging such as SOT-23-5, the MCP6G01-E/SN specifically denotes the single-channel version housed in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same family include MCP6G01RT-E/OT (SOT-23-5) or MCP6G01U-E/SN (SOT-23-5), provided the footprint change is acceptable. Cross-model substitution with MCP6H01-E/SN is possible but involves different gain architectures and electrical characteristics.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps FAQ

How is the gain selected on the MCP6G01?

Gain selection is controlled by the voltage level applied to the GSEL pin. A low voltage selects +10 V/V, mid-supply selects +1 V/V, and high voltage selects +50 V/V.

Does the MCP6G01 support shutdown mode?

No, the MCP6G01 does not have a Chip Select (CS) pin for shutdown. Only the MCP6G03 variant in this family includes the CS pin for power-down functionality.
