Microchip’s latest op-amp includes an on-chip calibration circuit that calibrates offset voltages at power up using an internal power-on reset detector, or based upon the state of an external pin.

According to the supplier, the result is a low initial voltage offset and a means to minimise drift over time and temperature, which are extremely important for applications involving instrumentation and sensor conditioning.

The high bandwidth, low power MCP651/2/5 (MCP65x) op amps provide low bias and quiescent currents, high output drive capability and a rail-to-rail output for better performance across the entire operating voltage range.

Frequency bandwidth is 50MHz and rail-to-rail output drive current is up to 95mA, making the MCP65x suitable to drive heavy loads.
