MCP6G02-E/MS

Overview

The MCP6G02-E/MS is a dual-channel Selectable Gain Amplifier (SGA) manufactured by Microchip Technology. It provides three fixed gain options of +1, +10, and +50 V/V via the GSEL pin. The device operates on a single supply from 1.8V to 5.5V with a typical quiescent current of 110 µA per amplifier. It features rail-to-rail input and output capabilities, low offset voltage of ±4.5 mV at G=+1, and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Configurable gain selection of +1, +10, or +50 V/V through a dedicated digital control pin
• Rail-to-rail input and output operation for maximum dynamic range
• Low power consumption with typical quiescent current of 110 µA per channel
• High precision performance with low DC gain error and low input offset voltage

Applications

• A/D Converter Driver
• Industrial Instrumentation
• Bar Code Readers
• Metering
• Digital Cameras

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '-E/MS' corresponds to the MSOP-8 package and extended temperature grade during procurement. Confirm that the ordering information matches the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision DS22004B. Ensure compatibility with single-supply systems operating between 1.8V and 5.5V. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in the official documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when variable gain is required without external resistors. It is suitable for battery-powered applications due to low quiescent current. Consider the bandwidth limitations at higher gains when designing for high-frequency signals. Ensure the input signal amplitude fits within the linear region defined by the selected gain and supply voltage.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP6G01/1R/1U/2/3/4 family of Selectable Gain Amplifiers. The '2' indicates a dual-channel configuration, while '/MS' specifies the 8-pin MSOP package. This family is designed for single-supply applications requiring reasonable speed and low power consumption.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include MCP6G02-E/SN (SOIC package). Other variants like MCP6G01 or MCP6G04 offer different channel counts but share similar electrical characteristics.
