MCP617-I/MS - Dual 190kHz Micropower Op Amp | Microchip
The Microchip Technology MCP617-I/MS is a dual, general-purpose operational amplifier with a 190 kHz gain-bandwidth product, typical operating current of 19 µA per amplifier, and an 8-pin MSOP package. It operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V, provides rail-to-rail output swing, and is unity-gain stable. The maximum input offset voltage is ±150 µV, while typical input offset current is 0.3 nA.
An operational amplifier, or op amp, is an analog signal-conditioning IC that uses differential feedback to amplify the voltage difference between its two inputs. Operational amplifiers belong to the broader amplifier IC and semiconductor hierarchy and are commonly used as voltage buffers, transimpedance amplifiers, comparators, filters, and gain stages. Their high open-loop gain becomes accurate closed-loop gain when a negative-feedback network determines the gain and bandwidth.
The MCP617-I/MS combines micropower operation with useful precision and bandwidth. Its 190 kHz gain-bandwidth product supports low-frequency signal conditioning, while the rail-to-rail output stage increases usable output range on low-voltage supplies. Maximum input offset voltage of ±150 µV is suitable for battery-powered sensor and instrumentation circuits, and the 19 µA typical operating current helps limit energy consumption. The 2.3 V to 5.5 V supply range accommodates cells, regulated rails, and low-voltage embedded systems.
The MCP617 uses Microchip's CMOS technology and provides low bias current, high open-loop gain, high-speed operation, and rail-to-rail output swing. Its low-noise figure of 2.2 µV peak-to-peak from 10 Hz, together with 0.08 V/µs slew rate, makes it appropriate for filtering, buffering, and gain stages that do not require the bandwidth of a high-speed amplifier. Unity-gain stability simplifies follower and general-purpose closed-loop designs.
Typical uses include battery-powered sensor interfaces, portable biomedical instrumentation, low-voltage data-acquisition front ends, active filters, and embedded control systems. The dual configuration saves board area when two independent analog channels are required. It can also implement differential, summing, and transimpedance stages, subject to the feedback network, output loading, supply voltage, and stability requirements for the selected gain.
The primary design trade-off is bandwidth versus power: 190 kHz gain-bandwidth product and 19 µA typical operating current are appropriate for precision micropower applications, not high-speed signal chains. Use the manufacturer pin-description table when assigning tracks, place bypass capacitors near the supply pins, and verify output swing, load capability, input common-mode range, and stability with the intended feedback network.
This page combines the key electrical characteristics, packaging information, practical application guidance, and drop-in replacement analysis into one engineering-focused reference. It also distinguishes the MSOP ordering option from alternatives that require a different footprint, helping designers avoid package-level redesign and unexpected board incompatibility.
