The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP6S21/2/6/8 are
analog Programmable Gain Amplifiers (PGA). They
can be configured for gains from +1 V/V to +32 V/V and
the input multiplexer can select one of up to eight channels through an SPI port. The serial interface can also
put the PGA into shutdown to conserve power. These
PGAs are optimized for high speed, low offset voltage
and single-supply operation with rail-to-rail input and
output capability. These specifications support single
supply applications needing flexible performance or
multiple inputs.
The one channel MCP6S21 and the two channel
MCP6S22 are available in 8-pin PDIP, SOIC and
MSOP packages. The six channel MCP6S26 is available in 14-pin PDIP, SOIC and TSSOP packages. The
eight channel MCP6S28 is available in 16-pin PDIP
and SOIC packages. All parts are fully specified from
