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. |
