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 yields 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.
