family of opera tio nal a mp lifi ers (o p am p s ) pr ovi de wide
bandwidth for the current. This family has a 5 MHz
Gain Bandwidth Product (GBWP) and a 65° phase
margin. This family also operates from a single supply
voltage as low as 2.2V, while drawing 450 µA (typ.)
quiescent current. Additionally, the MCP6281/2/3/4/5
supports rail-to-rail input and output swing, with a
common mode input v oltage range of V
V
– 300 mV. This family of operational amplifiers is
SS
designed with Microchip’s advanced CMOS process.
The MCP6285 has a Chip Select
(CS) input for dual op
amps in an 8-pin package. This device i s manufactured
by cascading the two op amps (the output of op am p A
connected to the non-inverting inp ut of op amp B). The
input puts the device in Low-power mode.
CS
The MCP6281/2/3/4/5 family operates over the
Extended Temperature Range of -40°C to +125°C. It
also has a power supply range of 2.2V to 5.5V.

4.0APPLICATION INFORMATION
MCP6281/2/3/4/5
The MCP6281/2/3/4/5 family of op amps is manufactured using Microchip's state-of-the-art CMOS
process. This family is specifically designed for lowcost, low-power and general purpose applications.
The low supply voltage, low quiescent current and
wide bandwidth makes the MCP6281/2/3/4/5 ideal for
battery-powered applications.
4.1Rail-to-Rail Input s
The MCP6281/2/3/4/5 op amp is designed to prevent
phase reversal when the input pins exceed the supply
voltages. Fi gure 4-1 shows th e input vol tage exc eeding
the supply voltage without any phase reversal.

4.3Capacitive Loads
Driving large capacitive loads can cause stability
problems for voltage feedback op amps. As the load
capacitance increases, the feedback loop’s phase
margin decreases and the closed-loop bandwidth is
reduced. This produces gain peaking in the frequency
response, with overshoot and ringing in the step
response. A unity-gain buffer (G = +1) is the most
sensitive to capa cit ive load s, th ough al l gain s show th e
same general behavior.
When driving large capacitive loads with these op
amps (e.g., > 100 pF when G = +1), a small series
resistor at the output (R
feedback loop’s phase margin (stability) by making the
output load resistive at higher frequencies. The
bandwidth will generally be lower than the bandwidth

4.4MCP628X Chip Select (CS)
The MCP6283 and MCP6285 are single and dual op
amps with Chip Select
(CS), respectively. When CS is
pulled high, the sup ply current drops to 0.7 µA (typ) and
flows through the CS pin to VSS. When this happens,
the amplifier output is put into a high-impedance state.
By pulling CS
low, th e amplifier i s enabled. If the CS pin
is left floating, the amplifier may not operate properly.

response to a CS

The output of op amp A is loaded by the input impedance of op amp B, which is typically 10

regarding capacitive loads).

4.6Supply Bypass
With this family of operational amplifiers, the power
supply pin (V
for single-supply) should have a local
DD
bypass capacitor (i.e., 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF) within 2 mm
for good, high-frequency performance. It also needs a
bulk capaci tor (i.e., 1 µ F or larger) within 100 mm to
provide large, sl ow curre nts. T his bulk cap acitor ca n be
shared with other analog parts.
4.7PCB Surface Leakage
In applications where low input bias current is critical,
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) surface-leakage effects
need to be considered. Surface leakage is caused by
humidity, dust or other contamination on the board.
Under low humidity conditions, a typical resistance
between nearby traces is 1 0
cause 5 pA of current to flow, which is greater than the
MCP6281/2/3/4/5 family’s bias current at 25°C (1pA,
typ.).
The easiest way to reduce surface leakage is to use a
guard ring around se nsi tiv e p ins (or t races). The guard
ring is biased at the same voltage as the sensitive pin.
An example of this type of layout is shown in
Figure 4-6.

4.8.3CASCADED OP AMP
APPLICATIONS
The MCP6285 provides the flexibility of Low-power
mode for dual op amps in an 8-pin package. The
MCP6285 eliminates the added cost and space in
battery-powered applications by using two single op
amps with Chip Select
hip Select line for both op amps. Since the two op
C
amps are internally cascaded, this device cannot be
used in circuits that require active or passive elements
between the two op amps. However, there are several
applications where this op amp configuration with
Select line becomes suitable. The circuits below
Chip
show possible applications for this device.
4.8.3.1Load Isolation
With the cascaded op amp co nfiguration, op amp B can
be used to isolate the load from op amp A. In applications where op amp A is drivi ng cap aci tive o r low re sistance loads i n the feedbac k lo op (suc h as an integra tor
circuit or filter circuit), the op amp may not have
sufficient sou rce cu r re nt t o dri ve t he l oa d . In t h is case ,

5.0DESIGN TOOLS
Microchip provides the basic design tools needed for
the MCP6281/2/3/4/5 family of op amps.
5.1SPICE Macro Model
The latest SPICE macro model for the
MCP6281/2/3/4/5 op am ps is available on our web site
at www .microc hip.com. T his mod el is intended to be a n
initial design tool that works well in the op amp’s linear
region of operation at room temperature. See the
macro model file for information on its capabilities .
Bench testing is a very im portant part of any design an d
cannot be replaced with simulations. Also, simulation
results using this mac ro m od el ne ed to be v ali dated by
comparing them to the data sheet specifications and
characteristic curves.
5.2FilterLab® Software
Microchip’s FilterLab software is an innova tive too l that
simplifies analog active-filter (usi ng op amps) design.
Available at no cost from our web site at
www.microchip.com, the FilterLab design tool provides
full schematic diagram s of the filte r circuit with component values. It also outpu ts th e filter circuit in SPICE
format, which can be used with the macro model to
simulate actual filter performance.

NOTES:

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
