MCP6002 Specifications

Review MCP6002 electrical specifications, operating conditions and package details.

Package view

Key specifications

Use one supply and a common ground for both channels. Separate feedback paths set the gain and a local bypass keeps the supply loop short.

Supply range1.8–6.0 V
Typical bandwidth1 MHz · gain-bandwidth product
Industrial ambient−40–85 °C
Typical current100 µA · per amplifier

The output swing test is a specific loading condition. Two amplifiers typically draw about 200 µA before external load current.

Gain-bandwidth product1 MHzSmall-signal behavior
Slew rate0.6 V/µsLarge-signal limit

A 1 MHz gain-bandwidth product is not a promise of a full-scale 1 MHz output.
