The designers of portable, battery-powered applications are challenged to lower power consumption and reduce cost and board space without compromising on the robustness and accuracy of their signal chains. The MCP647X/8X/9X family of general-purpose op amps provides low supply current, low leakage current over temperature and low input offset voltage in small packages, which offers one of the industry’s best cost-to-performance ratios. In fact, the 1.5 mV offset voltage offers better precision than the industry standard for general-purpose op amps, without the price premium of high-precision op amps. For applications that have sensors with high output impedance or that go through accelerated life tests at high temperatures, the MCP647X/8X/9X’s low leakage current is particularly important.
“We are building on the success of our low-voltage, low-power op amp portfolio, by introducing this family with higher performance in the low-voltage range,” said Bryan J. Liddiard, marketing vice president of Microchip’s Analog and Interface Products Division. “The MCP647X/8X/9X family further strengthens Microchip’s position as a leading provider of low-power op amps.”
