MCP6004 Datasheet: How this High Gain Op-Amp works

Hey, I am John, General manager of OurPCB. I am a responsible, intelligent and experienced business professional with an extensive background in the electronics industry.

About the MCP6004 datasheet, Nearly every modern technology relies on amplification. The operational amplifiers, for example, are essential in audio designs and other general-purpose applications. But certain Op-Amps provide more functionality than others. An example, in this case, is the MCP6004 quad Op-Amp. There are several reasons the MCP6004 general-purpose Op-Amp is popular. Its technical specifications offer a significant bandwidth gain, an extended temperature range, a vast capacitive load, etc. Read on to find out more about this operational amplifier.
 

What is MCP6004?

  The MCP6004 is one of the general-purpose Quad Op-Amps that belong to the MCP600X family from Microchip Technology Inc. These quad Op-Amp 14-Pin package ICs are famous for high bandwidth gain and low power production. Therefore, the MCP6004 is a known gain bandwidth product (GBWP) because it has a yield of 1MHz.

Pin Configuration

 
Pin Number Name of pin Pin Description
1,7, 8, and 14 Vout pins A, B, C, and D. They represent the four Op-amps output pins.
2,6,9, and 13 VIN- pins A, B, C, and D These are the four op-amps inverting input pins.
3,5,10, and 12 VIN+ pins A, B, C, and D On the other hand, these are the four op-amps non-inverting input pins.
4 VD It serves as the positive terminal or supply rail.
11 Vss Meanwhile, this is the negative rail or ground terminal.
