Description
The MCP6141/2/3/4 family of non-unity gain stable
operational amplifiers (op amps) from Microchip
Technology, Inc. operate with a single supply voltage
as low as 1.4V, while drawing less than 1 µA (max.) of
quiescent current per amplifier. These devices are also
designed to support rail-to-rail input and output swing.
The MCP6141/2/3/4 op amps have a gain bandwidth
product of 100 kHz (typ.) and are stable for gains of
10 V/V or higher. This specification makes these
devices appropriate for battery-powered applications
where higher frequency responses from the amplifier
are required.
The MCP6141/2/3/4 family of op amps are offered in
single (MCP6141), single with a Chip Select (CS
) feature (MCP6143), dual (MCP6142) and quad
(MCP6144) configurations.

those or any other conditions above those indicated in the
operational listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may

3.0APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The MCP6141/2/3/4 family of operational amplifiers
are fabricated on Microchip’s state-of-the-art CMOS
process. They are stable for noise gain of 10 V/V or
higher. Microchip also produces a unity gain stable
product, the MCP6041/2/3/4 family, which has similar
specifications. The MCP6041/2/3/4 family has a bandwidth of 1.4 kHz at a noise gain of 10 V/V, while the
MCP6141/2/3/4 family has a bandwidth of 10 kHz at a
noise gain of 10 V/V. These devices are suitable for a
wide range of applications requiring very low power
consumption. With these op amps, the power supply
pin needs to be bypassed with a 0.1 µF capacitor.
3.1Rail-to-Rail Input
The input stage of these devices uses two differential
input stages in parallel; one operates at low V
mon mode input voltage) and the other at high V
With this topology, the MCP6141/2/3/4 family operates

3.2Output Loads and Battery Life
The MCP6141/2/3/4 op amp family has low quiescent
current, which supports battery-powered applications.
There is minimal quiescent current glitch when chip

sive current draw and reduced battery life when the
part is turned off or on.
Heavy resistive loads at the output can cause excessive battery drain. Driving a DC voltage of 2.5V across
a 100 kΩ load resistor will cause the supply current to
increase by 25 µA, depleting the battery 43 times as
fast as I
High frequency signals (fast edge rate) across capacitive loads will also significantly increase supply current.
For instance, a 0.1 µF capacitor at the output presents
an AC impedance of 15.9 kΩ (1/2πfC) to a 100 Hz
sinewave. It can be shown that the average power
drawn from the battery by a 5.0 V
(1.77 Vrms) under these conditions is:

Swing defines the maximum swing possible under a
particular output load. According to the specification
table, the output can reach up to 10 mV of either supply
rail with a 50 kΩ load.
3.4Input Voltage and Phase Reversal
The MCP6141/2/3/4 op amp family uses CMOS transistors at the input. It is designed to prevent phase
reversal when the input pins exceed the supply voltages. Figure 2-33 shows an input voltage exceeding
both supplies without output phase reversal.

shown in Figure 3-1.
should be used to limit excessive input current if

Figure 3-2 shows non-inverting and inverting amplifier
circuits. In order for the amplifiers to be stable, the
noise gain should meet the specified requirement:
Note that the integrator circuit in Figure 3-3 becomes
unity gain at high frequencies because of the capacitor. Therefore, this circuit is unstable for the
MCP6141/2/3/4.
3.6Capacitive Load and Stability
Driving capacitive loads can cause stability problems
with voltage feedback op amps. Figure 2-21 shows how
increasing the load capacitance will decrease the phase
margin. While a phase margin above 60° is ideal, 45° is
on the verge of instability. As can be seen, up to

amp outputs without any problems, while 250 pF creates a 45° phase margin.
When the op amp is required to drive large capacitive
loads (C
Figure 3-4) at the output of the amplifier improves the
phase margin. This resistor makes the output load
resistive at higher frequencies, which improves the
phase margin. The bandwidth reduction caused by the
capacitive load, however, is not changed. To select

3.8Layout Considerations
Good PC board layout techniques will help you achieve
the performance shown in the specifications and typical
performance curves. It will also assist in minimizing
Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) issues.
3.8.1SURFACE LEAKAGE
In applications where low input bias current is critical,
PC board surface leakage effects and signal coupling
from trace to trace need to be considered.
Surface leakage is caused by a difference in voltage
between traces, combined with high humidity, dust or
other contamination on the board. Under low humidity
conditions, a typical resistance between nearby traces
12
is 10
Ω. A 5V difference would cause 5 pA of current
to flow, which is greater than the input current of the
MCP6141/2/3/4 family at 25°C (1 pA, typ).
The simplest technique to reduce surface leakage is
using a guard ring around sensitive pins (or traces).
The guard ring is biased at the same voltage as the
sensitive pin or trace. Figure 3-6 shows an example of
a typical layout.

3.8.2COMPONENT PLACEMENT
In order to help prevent crosstalk:
• Separate digital components from analog components, and low speed devices from high speed
devices.
• Keep sensitive traces short and straight. Separate
them from interfering components and traces.
This is especially important for high frequency
(low rise time) signals.
• Use a 0.1 µF supply bypass capacitor within 0.1”

3.8.3SIGNAL COUPLING
The input pins of the MCP6141/2/3/4 family of op amps
are high impedance, which allows noise injection. This
noise can be capacitively or magnetically coupled. In
either case, using a ground plane helps reduce noise
injection.
When noise is coupled capacitively, the ground plane
provides shunt capacitance to ground for high frequency signals (Figure 3-8 shows the equivalent circuit). The coupled current, I
(V

) on the victim trace when the trace to ground
plane capacitance (C
resistor (R
) is small. Increasing the distance between
T2
, produces a lower voltage

) is large and the terminating

traces and using wider traces also helps.

FIGURE 3-8:Equivalent circuit for
capacitive coupling between traces on a PC
board (with ground plane).
When noise is coupled magnetically, the ground plane
reduces the mutual inductance between traces. This
occurs because the ground return current at high frequencies will follow a path directly beneath the signal
trace. Increasing the separation between traces makes
a significant difference. Changing the direction of one
of the traces can also reduce magnetic coupling.
If these techniques are not enough, it may help to place
guard traces next to the victim trace. They should be on
both sides of the victim trace and be as close as possible. Connect the guard traces to ground plane at both
ends and in the middle for long traces.
3.9Typical Applications
3.9.1BATTERY CURRENT SENSING
The MCP6141/2/3/4 op amps’ Common Mode Input
Range, which goes 300 mV beyond both supply rails,
supports their use in high side and low side battery
current sensing applications. The very low quiescent
current (0.6 µA, typ.) help prolong battery life, while the
rail-to-rail output allows you to detect low currents.
Figure 3-9 shows a high side battery current sensor circuit. The feedback and input resistors are sized to minimize power losses. The battery current (I
the 1 kΩ resistor causes its top terminal to be more
negative than the bottom terminal. This keeps the com-
mon mode input voltage of the op amp ≤ V
within its allowed range. The output of the op amp can
reach V
- 0.1 mV (see Figure 2-26), which is a
DD
smaller error than the offset voltage.

At a noise gain of 10 V/V, the amplifier bandwidth is
approximately 10 kHz. The bandwidth to quiescent current ratio of MCP6141/2/3/4 makes this device an
appropriate choice for battery-powered applications.

4.0SPICE MACRO MODEL
The Spice macro model for the MCP6141, MCP6142,
MCP6143 and MCP6144 simulates the typical amplifier performance of offset voltage, DC power supply
rejection, input capacitance, DC common mode rejection, open loop gain over frequency, phase margin, output swing, DC power supply current, power supply
current change with supply voltage, input common
mode range, output voltage range vs. load and input
voltage noise.
The characteristics of the MCP6141, MCP6142,
MCP6143 and MCP6144 amplifiers are similar in terms
of performance and behavior. This single op amp
macro model supports all four devices, with the exception of the chip select function of the MCP6143, which
is not modeled.
The listing for this macro model is shown on the next
page. The most recent revision of the model can be
