operational amplifiers (op amps) provide wide
bandwidth for the quiescent current. The MCP6231/1R/
1U/2/4 family has a 300 kHz gain bandwidth product
and 65°C (typical) phase margin. This family operates
from a single supply voltage as low as 1.8V, while
drawing 20 µA (typical) quiescent current. In addition,
the MCP6231/1R/1U/2/4 family supports rail-to-rail
input and output swing, with a common mode input
voltage range of VDD + 300 mV to VSS – 300 mV.
These op amps are designed in one of Microchip’s
advanced CMOS processes.
Gain Bandwidth Product: 300 kHz (typical)
Supply Current: IQ = 20 µA (typical)
Supply Voltage: 1.8V to 6.0V
Rail-to-Rail Input/Output
Extended Temperature Range: -40°C to +125°C
Available in 5-Pin SC70 and SOT-23 packages

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The MCP6231/1R/1U/2/4 family of op amps is
manufactured using Microchip’s state-of-the-art CMOS
process and is specifically designed for low-cost,
low-power and general-purpose applications. The low
supply voltage, low quiescent current and wide
bandwidth makes the MCP6231/1R/1U/2/4 ideal for
battery-powered applications.

Simplified Analog Input ESD
In order to prevent damage and/or improper operation
of these op amps, the circuit they are in must limit the
currents and voltages at the VIN+ and VIN– pins (see
Absolute Maximum Ratings † at the beginning of
Section 1.0 “Electrical Characteristics”). Figure 4-3
shows the recommended approach to protecting these
inputs. The internal ESD diodes prevent the input pins
(VIN+ and VIN–) from going too far below ground, and
the resistors R1 and R2 limit the possible current drawn
out of the input pins. Diodes D1 and D2 prevent the
input pins (VIN+ and VIN–) from going too far above
VDD, and dump any currents onto VDD. When
implemented as shown, resistors R1 and R2 also limit
the current through D1 and D2.

INPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT
LIMITS
The ESD protection on the inputs can be depicted as
shown in Figure 4-2. This structure was chosen to
protect the input transistors, and to minimize input bias
current (IB). The input ESD diodes clamp the inputs
when they try to go more than one diode drop below
VSS. They also clamp any voltages that go too far
above VDD; their breakdown voltage is high enough to
allow normal operation, and low enough to bypass
quick ESD events within the specified limits.

Protecting the Analog
It is also possible to connect the diodes to the left of
resistors R1 and R2. In this case, current through the
diodes D1 and D2 needs to be limited by some other
mechanism. The resistors then serve as in-rush current
limiters; the DC current into the input pins (VIN+ and
VIN–) should be very small.

NORMAL OPERATION
The input stage of the MCP6231/1R/1U/2/4 op amps
use two differential CMOS input stages in parallel. One
operates at low common mode input voltage (VCM),
while the other operates at high VCM. WIth this
topology, the device operates with VCM up to 0.3V
above VDD and 0.3V below VSS.
4.2
Capacitive Loads
Driving large capacitive loads can cause stability
problems for voltage feedback op amps. As the load
capacitance increases, the feedback loop’s phase
margin decreases and the closed-loop bandwidth is
reduced. This produces gain peaking in the frequency
response, with overshoot and ringing in the step
response. A unity-gain buffer (G = +1) is the most
sensitive to capacitive loads, but all gains show the
same general behavior.
When driving large capacitive loads with these op
amps (e.g., > 60 pF when G = +1), a small series
resistor at the output (RISO in Figure 4-4) improves the
feedback loop’s phase margin (stability) by making the
output load resistive at higher frequencies. The
bandwidth will be generally lower than the bandwidth
with no capacitive load.

Rail-to-Rail Output
The output voltage range of the MCP6231/1R/1U/2/4
op amps is VDD – 35 mV (maximum) and VSS + 35 mV
(minimum) when RL = 10 kΩ is connected to VDD/2 and
VDD = 5.5V. Refer to Figure 2-14 for more information.

Recommended RISO (Ω)
A significant amount of current can flow out of the
inputs when the common mode voltage (VCM) is below
ground (VSS); see Figure 2-19. Applications that are
high impedance may need to limit the usable voltage
range.
RISO
After selecting RISO for your circuit, double-check the
resulting frequency response peaking and step
response overshoot. Evaluation on the bench and
simulations with the MCP6231/1R/1U/2/4 SPICE
macro model are very helpful. Modify RISO’s value until
the response is reasonable.
4.4
Supply Bypass
With this op amp, the power supply pin (VDD for
single-supply) should have a local bypass capacitor
(i.e., 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF) within 2 mm for good
high-frequency performance. It can use a bulk
capacitor (i.e., 1 µF or larger) within 100 mm to
provide large, slow currents. This bulk capacitor can
be shared with other nearby analog parts.
4.5
Unused Op Amps
An unused op amp in a quad package (MCP6234)
should be configured as shown in Figure 4-6. Both
circuits prevent the output from toggling and causing
crosstalk. Circuit A can use any reference voltage
between the supplies, provides a buffered DC voltage
and minimizes the supply current draw of the unused
op amp. Circuit B minimizes the number of
components, but may draw a little more supply current
for the unused op amp.

PCB Surface Leakage
4.7
In applications where low input bias current is critical,
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) surface leakage effects
need to be considered. Surface leakage is caused by
humidity, dust or other contamination on the board.
Under low humidity conditions, a typical resistance
between nearby traces is 1012Ω. A 5V difference would
cause 5 pA of current to flow, which is greater than the
MCP6231/1R/1U/2/4 family’s bias current at +25°C
(1 pA, typical).
The easiest way to reduce surface leakage is to use a
guard ring around sensitive pins (or traces). The guard
ring is biased at the same voltage as the sensitive pin.
An example of this type of layout is shown in
Figure 4-7.

MATCHING THE IMPEDANCE AT
THE INPUTS
To minimize the effect of input bias current in an amplifier circuit (this is important for very high sourceimpedance applications, such as pH meters and
transimpedance amplifiers), the impedances at the
inverting and non-inverting inputs need to be
matched. This is done by choosing the circuit resistor
values so that the total resistance at each input is the
same. Figure 4-8 shows a summing amplifier circuit.

Non-inverting Gain and Unity-Gain Buffer:
a. Connect the non-inverting pin (VIN+) to the
input with a wire that does not touch the
PCB surface.
b. Connect the guard ring to the inverting input
pin (VIN–). This biases the guard ring to the
common mode input voltage.
Inverting Gain and Transimpedance Amplifiers
(convert current to voltage, such as photo
detectors):
a. Connect the guard ring to the non-inverting
input pin (VIN+). This biases the guard ring
to the same reference voltage as the op
amp (e.g., VDD/2 or ground).
b. Connect the inverting pin (VIN–) to the input
with a wire that does not touch the PCB
surface.

FIGURE 4-8:
Summing Amplifier Circuit.
To match the inputs, set all voltage sources to ground
and calculate the total resistance at the input nodes. In
this summing amplifier circuit, the resistance at the
inverting input is calculated by setting VIN1, VIN2 and
VOUT to ground. In this case, RG1, RG2 and RF are in
parallel. The total resistance at the inverting input is:

COMPENSATING FOR THE
PARASITIC CAPACITANCE
In analog circuit design, the PCB parasitic capacitance
can compromise the circuit behavior; Figure 4-9 shows
a typical scenario. If the input of an amplifier sees
parasitic capacitance of several picofarad (CPARA,
which includes the common mode capacitance of 6 pF,
typical), and large RF and RG, the frequency response
of the circuit will include a zero. This parasitic zero
introduces gain-peaking and can cause circuit
instability.

FIGURE 4-9:

Capacitance at the Input.
One solution is to use smaller resistor values to push
the zero to a higher frequency. Another solution is to
compensate by introducing a pole at the point at which
the zero occurs. This can be done by adding CF in
parallel with the feedback resistor (RF). CF needs to be
selected so that the ratio CPARA:CF is equal to the ratio
of RF:RG.
