Low noise op amps target industrial, medical markets

Targeted at applications such as sensor and signal conditioning, the MCP6V2X devices feature a self correcting auto zero architecture and are being offered as a lower noise alternative to the company's existing portfolio of auto zero op amps. According to Microchip, the amps have a 2.3 to 5.5V operating voltage range, an offset voltage of 2microvolts and a gain bandwidth of 2MHz. They also feature a rail to rail input/output and are available in an 8pin MSOP package. "Microchip continues to leverage its expertise in high precision amplifier design with the addition of the MCP6V2X series," said Bryan Liddiard, vp of marketing at Microchip's analogue and interface division. "By providing a lower noise, smaller package alternative to Microchip's existing op amp portfolio, we continue to meet the needs of our customers."
