Description
The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP6291/1R/2/3/4/5
family of operational amplifiers (op amps) provide wide
bandwidth for the current. This family has a 10 MHz
Gain Bandwidth Product (GBWP) and a 65° phase
margin. This family also operates from a single supply
voltage as low as 2.4V, while drawing 1 mA (typical)
quiescent current. In addition, the MCP6291/1R/2/3/4/5
supports rail-to-rail input and output swing, with a
Common-mode input voltage range of VDD + 300 mV to
VSS – 300 mV. This family of operational amplifiers is
designed with Microchip’s advanced CMOS process.
Applications
• Automotive (see Product Identification System
(Automotive))
- AEC-Q100 Qualified. Grade 1.
- AEC-Q100 Qualified, Grade 0 (MCP6292
H-Temp)
• Portable Equipment
• Photodiode Amplifier
• Analog Filters
• Notebooks and PDAs
• Battery-Powered Systems
The MCP6295 has a Chip Select (CS) input for dual op
amps in an 8-pin package. This device is manufactured
by cascading the two op amps, with the output of
op amp A being connected to the noninverting input of
op amp B. The CS input puts the device in a Low-power
mode.
The MCP6291/1R/2/3/4/5 family operates over the
extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The
MCP6292 H-Temp part is available in the 8-Lead
MSOP package and operates over the high
temperature range of -40°C to +150°C. It also has a
power supply range of 2.4V to 6.0V.

Analog Outputs
The output pins are low-impedance voltage sources.
3.2
Analog Inputs
The noninverting and inverting inputs are
high-impedance CMOS inputs with low bias currents.
3.3
Description
MCP6295’s VOUTA/VINB+ Pin
For the MCP6295 only, the output of op amp A is
connected directly to the noninverting input of
op amp B; this is the VOUTA/VINB+ pin. This connection
makes it possible to provide a Chip Select pin for duals
in 8-pin packages.
DS20001812G-page 14
3.4
Chip Select Digital Input
This is a CMOS, Schmitt-triggered input that places the
part into a low power mode of operation.
3.5
Power Supply Pins
The positive power supply (VDD) is 2.4V to 6.0V higher
than the negative power supply (VSS). For normal
operation, the other pins are between VSS and VDD.
Typically, these parts are used in a single (positive)
supply configuration. In this case, VSS is connected to
ground and VDD is connected to the supply. VDD will
need bypass capacitors

The MCP6291/1R/2/3/4/5 family of op amps is
manufactured using Microchip’s state of the art CMOS
process, specifically designed for low-cost, low-power
and general purpose applications. The low supply
voltage, low quiescent current and wide bandwidth
makes
the
MCP6291/1R/2/3/4/5
ideal
for
battery-powered applications.

The ESD protection on the inputs can be depicted as
shown in Figure 4-1. This structure was chosen to
protect the input transistors, and to minimize input bias
current (IB). The input ESD diodes clamp the inputs
when they try to go more than one diode drop below
VSS. They also clamp any voltages that go too far
above VDD; their breakdown voltage is high enough to
allow normal operation, and low enough to bypass
quick ESD events within the specified limits.

Simplified Analog Input ESD
In order to prevent damage and/or improper operation
of these op amps, the circuit they are in must limit the
currents and voltages at the VIN+ and VIN– pins (see
Absolute Maximum Ratings † at the beginning of
Section 1.0 “Electrical Characteristics”). Figure 4-2
shows the recommended approach to protecting these
inputs. The internal ESD diodes prevent the input pins
(VIN+ and VIN–) from going too far below ground, and
the resistors R1 and R2 limit the possible current drawn
out of the input pins. Diodes D1 and D2 prevent the
input pins (VIN+ and VIN–) from going too far above

Protecting the Analog
It is also possible to connect the diodes to the left of the
resistor R1 and R2. In this case, the currents through
the diodes D1 and D2 need to be limited by some other
mechanism. The resistors then serve as in-rush current
limiters; the DC current into the input pins (VIN+ and
VIN–) should be very small.
A significant amount of current can flow out of the
inputs when the Common-mode voltage (VCM) is below
ground (VSS); see Figure 2-31. Applications that are
high impedance may need to limit the usable voltage
range.

The MCP6291/1R/2/3/4/5 op amp is designed to
prevent phase reversal when the input pins exceed the
supply voltages. Figure 2-32 shows the input voltage
exceeding the supply voltage without any phase
reversal.

NORMAL OPERATION
The input stage of the MCP6291/1R/2/3/4/5 op amps
use two differential CMOS input stages in parallel. One
operates at low Common-mode input voltage (VCM),
while the other operates at high VCM. With this
topology, the device operates with VCM up to 0.3V past
either supply rail. The input offset voltage (VOS) is
measured at VCM = VSS - 0.3V and VDD + 0.3V to
ensure proper operation.
The transition between the two input stages occurs
when VCM = VDD - 1.1V. For the best distortion and gain
linearity, with noninverting gains, avoid this region of
operation.
4.2
Rail-to-Rail Output
The output voltage range of the MCP6291/1R/2/3/4/5
op amp is VDD – 15 mV (min.) and VSS + 15 mV
(maximum) when RL = 10 k is connected to VDD/2
and VDD = 5.5V. Refer to Figure 2-16 for more
information.

4.3
Capacitive Loads
4.4
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 capacitive loads, though all gains show the
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 (RISO in Figure 4-3) improves the
feedback loop’s phase margin (stability) by making the
output load resistive at higher frequencies. The
bandwidth will be generally lower than the bandwidth
with no capacitive load.

MCP629X Chip Select
The MCP6293 and MCP6295 are single and dual op
amps with Chip Select (CS), respectively. When CS is
pulled high, the supply current drops to 0.7 µA (typical)
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, the amplifier
is enabled. The CS pin has an internal 5 M (typical)
pull-down resistor connected to VSS, so it will go low if
the CS pin is left floating. Figure 1-1 shows the output
voltage and supply current response to a CS pulse.

Cascaded Dual Op Amps
(MCP6295)
The MCP6295 is a dual op amp with Chip Select (CS).
The Chip Select input is available on what would be the
noninverting input of a standard dual op amp (pin 5).
This is available because the output of op amp A
connects to the noninverting input of op amp B, as
shown in Figure 4-5. The Chip Select input, which can
be connected to a microcontroller I/O line, puts the
device in Low-power mode. Refer to Section 4.4
“MCP629X Chip Select”.

normalized load capacitance (CL/GN), where GN is the
circuit's noise gain. For noninverting gains, GN and the

The Common-mode input range of these op amps is
specified in the data sheet as VSS – 300 mV and
VDD + 300 mV. However, since the output of op amp A
is limited to VOL and VOH (20 mV from the rails with a
10 k load), the noninverting input range of op amp B
is limited to the Common-mode input range of
VSS + 20 mV and VDD – 20 mV.
After selecting RISO for your circuit, double-check the
resulting frequency response peaking and step
response overshoot. Modify RISO's value until the
response is reasonable. Bench evaluation and
simulations with the MCP6291/1R/2/3/4/5 SPICE
macro model are helpful.

Supply Bypass
4.8
With this family of operational amplifiers, the power
supply pin (VDD for single supply) should have a local
bypass capacitor (i.e., 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF) within 2 mm
for good high-frequency performance. It also needs a
bulk capacitor (i.e., 1 µF or larger) within 100 mm to
provide large, slow currents. This bulk capacitor can be
shared with nearby analog parts.
4.7
Unused Op Amps
An unused op amp in a quad package (MCP6294)
should be configured as shown in Figure 4-6. These
circuits prevent the output from toggling and causing
crosstalk. Circuits A sets the op amp at its minimum
noise gain. The resistor divider produces any desired
reference voltage within the output voltage range of the
op amp; the op amp buffers that reference voltage.
Circuit B uses the minimum number of components
and operates as a comparator, but it may draw more
current.
¼ MCP6294 (A)
The easiest way to reduce surface leakage is to use a
guard ring around sensitive pins (or traces). The guard
ring is biased at the same voltage as the sensitive pin.
An example of this type of layout is shown in
Figure 4-7.

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 1012. A 5V difference would
cause 5 pA of current to flow, which is greater than the
MCP6291/1R/2/3/4/5 family’s bias current at 25°C
(1 pA, typical).

Example Guard Ring Layout
For Inverting Gain and Transimpedance
Amplifiers (convert current to voltage, such as
photo detectors):
a.Connect the guard ring to the noninverting
input pin (VIN+). This biases the guard ring
to the same reference voltage as the op
amp (e.g., VDD/2 or ground).
b.Connect the inverting pin (VIN–) to the input
with a wire that does not touch the PCB
surface.
Noninverting Gain and Unity-Gain Buffer:
a.Connect the noninverting pin (VIN+) to the
input with a wire that does not touch the
PCB surface.
b.Connect the guard ring to the inverting input
pin (VIN–). This biases the guard ring to the
Common-mode input voltage.

Load Isolation
With the cascaded op amp configuration, op amp B can
be used to isolate the load from op amp A. In
applications where op amp A is driving capacitive or
low resistance loads in the feedback loop (such as an
integrator circuit or filter circuit), the op amp may not
have sufficient source current to drive the load. In this
case, op amp B can be used as a buffer.

The MCP6295 provides the flexibility of Low-power
mode for dual op amps in an 8-pin package. The
MCP6295 eliminates the added cost and space in
battery-powered applications by using two single op
amps with Chip Select lines or a 10-pin device with one
Chip Select line for both op amps. Since the two op
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
Chip Select line becomes suitable. The circuits below
show possible applications for this device.

Figure 4-11 shows a cascaded gain circuit
configuration with Chip Select. Op amps A and B are
configured in a noninverting amplifier configuration. In
this configuration, it is important to note that the input
offset voltage of op amp A is amplified by the gain of op
amp A and B, as shown below:
V OUT = V IN G A G B + V OSA G A G B + V OSB G B

Figure 4-13 shows a lossy noninverting integrator that
is buffered and has a Chip Select input. Op amp A is
configured as a noninverting integrator. In this configuration, matching the impedance at each input is
recommended. R F is used to provide a feedback loop
