Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum supply voltage for the MCP6242-E/SN, and why is this important for battery-powered designs?

The MCP6242-E/SN operates from a minimum supply voltage of 1.8 V, allowing it to remain functional as a battery discharges toward its end-of-life voltage. This is critical for coin-cell and single-cell Li-ion designs where the rail may drop below 2 V, ensuring signal conditioning circuits continue to operate correctly throughout the battery's useful life.

How does having 2 op-amp channels in one MCP6242-E/SN package benefit a differential sensor signal chain?

A differential sensor signal chain, such as a Wheatstone bridge or thermopile readout, typically requires 2 amplifier stages for instrumentation. Using the MCP6242-E/SN provides both stages in a single 8-pin SOIC package, saving PCB area compared to two discrete single-channel amplifiers and reducing total quiescent current to a combined draw on the shared 1.8 V rail.

At 650 kHz gain-bandwidth product, what closed-loop gain is achievable at 10 kHz with the MCP6242-E/SN?

With a 650 kHz gain-bandwidth product, the MCP6242-E/SN supports a closed-loop gain of approximately 65 V/V at 10 kHz before bandwidth begins to roll off. This is sufficient for audio-band active filters, active anti-aliasing stages ahead of a 12-bit ADC sampling at 50 kHz or lower, and low-frequency sensor signal conditioning.
