Description:
The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP6421 family of
operational amplifiers operate with a single supply
voltage as low as 1.8V, while drawing low quiescent
current per amplifier (5.5 µA, maximum). This family
also has low input offset voltage (±1.0 mV, maximum)
and rail-to-rail input and output operation. In addition,
the MCP6421 family is unity gain stable and has a gain
bandwidth product of 90 kHz (typical). This
combination of features supports battery-powered and
portable applications. The MCP6421 family has
enhanced EMI protection to minimize any
electromagnetic interference from external sources,
such as power lines, radio stations, and mobile
communications, etc. This feature makes it well suited
for EMI sensitive applications.
The MCP6421 family is offered in single (MCP6421)
packages. All devices are designed using an advanced
CMOS process and fully specified in extended
temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Figure 1-1.
This circuit can independently set V

Equation 1-1).
Note that V
CM
is not the
circuit’s Common mode voltage ((V

)/2), and that
V
OST
includes V

plus the effects (on the input offset
error, V
