Overview

The MCP6004-E/ST is a quad-channel, general-purpose operational amplifier designed for low-power applications operating from 1.8V to 6V. It features rail-to-rail input and output performance with a 1 MHz Gain Bandwidth Product and a low typical quiescent current of 100uA per channel. This device is particularly suited for battery-powered systems where minimizing power consumption and maximizing signal swing are critical.

Why Choose This Part

The MCP6004 offers an excellent balance of low power consumption and rail-to-rail flexibility, allowing for larger signal swings in low-voltage designs. Its low input bias current minimizes errors in high-impedance circuits, while the 14-TSSOP package provides high functional density with four amplifiers in a small footprint.

Applications

Photodiode Amplifier
Leveraging the ultra-low 1 pA input bias current to convert low-level photodiode currents into measurable voltages.
Battery-Powered Instrumentation
Ideal for portable equipment due to its 1.8V minimum supply voltage and low 100uA current draw.
Active Analog Filters
Utilizing four independent channels to implement multi-stage low-pass or high-pass filters in space-constrained designs.
Automotive Signal Conditioning
Provides reliable analog processing across the extended -40C to 125C temperature range for sensor interfacing.
Notebook and PDA Audio
Used for low-power buffering and signal level shifting in portable consumer electronics.

Getting Started

When designing with the MCP6004, ensure decoupling capacitors (typically 0.1uF) are placed close to the VDD pin to maintain stability. For prototyping, this TSSOP component can be used with a standard 14-TSSOP to DIP adapter board on a breadboard. Microchip provides the MPLAB Mindi Analog Simulator to model circuit performance and stability before hardware assembly.
