The MCP6N11's low-power CMOS process technology offers low power consumption and a 500 kHz bandwidth and gain product, along with a hardware shutdown pin for even greater power savings. The device's low operating voltage of 1.8V allows it to utilize two 1.5V batteries above its typical operating range, while its rail-to-rail input/output operation enables it to operate at peak performance even with low power. The MCP6N11 represents an innovative solution for instrumentation, signal conditioning, and sensors in consumer, industrial, and medical applications that demand a combination of high performance and competitive pricing.
Many applications in these markets require high accuracy, low power consumption, and low-voltage operation, all of which can be achieved with the MCP6N11. The device's mCal technology provides a highly accurate way to minimize drift over time and temperature, while its low-power on/off operation requires less current for a given performance and speed, thus extending battery life and reducing self-heating. The MCP6N11's low-voltage operation, with its rail-to-rail input and output, provides superior dynamic range for improved performance across the entire operating voltage range.
The MCP6N11 is supplied in 8-pin SOIC and 2 mm x 3 mm TDFN packages. The development of the MCP6N11 instrumentation amplifier is based on Microchip's reference design MCP6N11 Wheatstone Bridge (ARD00354).
