Overview

The MCP6004-E/P is a quad-channel, general-purpose operational amplifier designed for low-power applications. It features rail-to-rail input and output swing and operates on supply voltages as low as 1.8V while drawing only 100uA of quiescent current per channel. This 14-DIP version is specifically suited for through-hole assembly and prototyping.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is the rail-to-rail input and output capability at a very low 1.8V minimum supply, which maximizes dynamic range in single-supply systems. It provides a balanced 1MHz bandwidth with low power consumption, and the 14-PDIP package simplifies breadboard prototyping and manual soldering.

Applications

Battery-Powered Instrumentation
Utilizes the low 100uA supply current to extend operating life in portable sensor nodes.
Photodiode Amplifiers
The extremely low 1pA input bias current makes it ideal for converting small currents from optical sensors into measurable voltages.
Active Analog Filters
With four independent circuits and a 1MHz gain bandwidth product, it can implement high-order low-pass or band-pass filters.
Automotive Signal Conditioning
The extended temperature range of -40C to 125C allows for reliable operation in automotive environments.

Getting Started

For prototyping, plug the 14-PDIP package directly into a standard breadboard or IC socket. Ensure a decoupling capacitor of 0.1uF is placed close to the VDD pin (Pin 4) and GND (Pin 11) for stable operation. Since it is a rail-to-rail op-amp, it is well-suited for use with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers and ADCs.
