Microchip's new MCP62x5 operational amplifier devices enable a standard two-stage amplifier signal chain to be implemented in an eight-lead package with a power-saving chip select.

These new devices are internally connected rail-to-rail input/output, single-ended operational amplifiers, offering three levels of gain-bandwidth product (GBWP).

They are specified to operate over an extended temperature range (-40 to +125C), and are available in 8-lead MSOP, SOIC and PDIP packages.

The MCP6275 has a 2MHz gain-bandwidth and operates at 5.5 to 2.0V with a supply current of 165uA.

Meanwhile, the MCP6285 has a 5MHz gain-bandwidth, operates at 5.5 to 2.2V and has a supply current of 450uA.

The MCP6295 has a 10MHz gain-bandwidth, operates at 5.5 to 2.4V and has a supply current of 1.0mA.

The different product options allow the designer to optimise power consumption versus GBWP for their application, and the low overall power consumption makes the devices ideal for applications such as sensors, instrumentation and battery-operated products.
