Overview

The MCP6002-I/SN is a dual general-purpose operational amplifier featuring rail-to-rail input and output swing over an operating range of 1.8V to 6V. It is specifically designed to support low-power applications with a quiescent current of only 100uA per channel while maintaining a 1 MHz Gain Bandwidth Product.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is the combination of low cost, low power consumption, and rail-to-rail I/O capability, ensuring maximum dynamic range even at 1.8V operation. Its extremely low input bias current of 1 pA minimizes errors in high-impedance circuits.

Applications

Photodiode Amplifier
The low input bias current of 1 pA makes it suitable for converting high-impedance sensor signals into measurable voltages.
Battery-Powered Instrumentation
Ideal for portable equipment where low current consumption and wide supply voltage ranges are critical for maximizing battery life.
Active Filters
Used in analog signal processing stages to implement low-pass or band-pass filters for sensor conditioning.
Automotive Signal Conditioning
Provides reliable performance in automotive subsystems requiring rail-to-rail signal integrity across a -40 to 85 degree Celsius range.

Getting Started

For rapid prototyping, the MCP6002-I/P in a PDIP package is recommended for breadboard use, while this SOIC version is designed for surface-mount production. Since it is a standard analog component, it requires no software toolchain but should be decoupled with a 0.1uF capacitor close to the VDD pin.
