MICROCHIP MCP6L01T Single Op-Amp, 1MHz, SOT-23, 5-Pin

The MICROCHIP MCP6L01T-E/OT is a general-purpose operational amplifier designed for a broad range of electronic applications. Its combination of rail-to-rail input and output capability, low quiescent current, and a bandwidth of 1MHz makes it an exceptionally versatile component for power-conscious designs. This single-channel op-amp operates efficiently on a wide supply voltage range from 1.8V to 6.0V, making it suitable for both low-voltage and standard voltage circuits.

A key feature is its remarkably low quiescent current of just 85μA per amplifier, which helps to minimise overall system power consumption. The rail-to-rail input and output swing ensures maximum dynamic range and signal integrity, even when operating at the supply rails. This characteristic is particularly valuable in single-supply applications and battery-powered devices where headroom is limited.

Specifications and Performance

The amplifier delivers a gain bandwidth product (GBWP) of 1MHz and a slew rate of 0.6V/µs, providing a solid balance of speed and stability for audio, sensor signal conditioning, and control loop applications. It features a low input offset voltage of 1mV and an extremely low input bias current of 2pA, which contributes to high accuracy in precision circuits. The device is housed in a compact, surface-mount SOT-23 package with 5 pins, ideal for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Robust Design and Applications

Built for reliability, the op-amp is specified for an extended operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C, supporting use in industrial and automotive environments. Its primary applications include power management systems, portable instrumentation, battery monitors, and any general-purpose amplifying stage where low current draw and wide voltage swing are critical. This MICROCHIP operational amplifier represents a high-performance, energy-efficient solution for modern electronic design.
