MCP6002-I/P

MCP6002-I/P is a Microchip dual operational amplifier with very low power, designed for single‑supply use.
Key points
- Dual rail-to-rail input/output amplifiers in one package.
- Supply range: 1.8 V to 6.0 V (single supply).
- Very low quiescent current, suitable for battery-powered apps.
- -I/P indicates Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) in an 8‑pin plastic DIP (P).
- Pinout (DIP-8): 1 = OUT A, 2 = −IN A, 3 = +IN A, 4 = GND, 5 = +IN B, 6 = −IN B, 7 = OUT B, 8 = VDD.
- Common uses: sensor buffering/interfacing, active filters, voltage followers, and small-signal gain stages.
- Note: not a comparator; for comparison tasks use a dedicated comparator.
Optional (typical specs): GBW around 1 MHz, low input bias current, CMOS inputs, suitable for single-supply signal conditioning.

Common equivalents to MCP6002-I/P (dual rail-to-rail I/O op-amp, 8-pin) include:
- TI TLV2372
- TI OPA2372
- Analog Devices ADA4528-2
Note: substitute only after checking pinout, supply voltage range, bandwidth, input/output rail limits, and other specs in the datasheets.

MCP6002-I/P features (dual op-amps, Industrial temp PDIP variant):
- Dual, rail-to-rail input/output op-amps
- Single-supply operation: 1.8 V to 6.0 V
- Industrial temperature range: −40°C to +85°C
- Unity-gain stable; suitable for buffers, filters, and general amplification
- Gain-bandwidth product ≈ 1 MHz
- Very low quiescent current: ~23 µA per amplifier (typical at 5 V)
- Output can swing to both rails with light loads
- Input common-mode range includes both rails
- 8-pin PDIP package (I/P denotes industrial temp PDIP variant)

- Pin count: 8 pins (8-pin package)
- Function: Dual rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier (two op-amps in one package; single-supply operation).

Manufacturer: Microchip Technology Inc.
What kind of company: Microchip is a publicly traded American semiconductor company (Nasdaq: MCHP) headquartered in Chandler, Arizona. It designs and manufactures microcontrollers, mixed-signal and analog ICs (including op amps like the MCP6002), power-management, memory, timing and connectivity products, and provides embedded control and analog solutions for industrial, automotive, consumer and communications markets.

MCP6002-I/P is a dual, rail-to-rail input/output, low-power op-amp ideal for single-supply designs. Common application areas include:
- Battery-powered sensor front-ends and portable instrumentation
- Sensor signal conditioning: buffering, impedance matching to ADCs
- Active filters (low-pass/high-pass/band-pass) for data conditioning
- ADC driver and reference buffering to improve accuracy
- Transimpedance and photodiode/front-end for optical sensors
- MEMS and capacitive sensor interfaces
- Small-signal amplification in consumer electronics and wearables
These use cases leverage its dual amps, low power, and rail-to-rail performance.

The MCP6002-I/P is the industrial-temperature (-40°C to +125°C) version supplied in an 8-pin PDIP (DIP‑8) through‑hole package.
