00 — Overview

What the MCP6001 does

The MCP6001/2/4 family of operational amplifiers operates from a single supply of 1.8V to 6.0V while drawing 100 µA typical quiescent current per amplifier. These devices feature a 1 MHz gain bandwidth product, rail-to-rail input and output swing, and a 90° phase margin. Available in single, dual, and quad configurations within SC-70, SOT-23, and other packages, they support industrial and extended temperature ranges. Engineers typically use these low-power op amps in portable equipment, battery-powered systems, photodiode amplifiers, and analog filters.
