Zero-drift instrumentation amp

27 August 2014 Analogue, Mixed Signal, LSI

The newest addition to Microchip’s instrumentation amplifier portfolio features a self-correcting architecture designed to maximise DC performance by enabling ultra-low offset, low offset drift, and enhanced common-mode and power-supply rejection, while eliminating the adverse effects of 1/f noise.

The result is very high accuracy across both time and temperature.

The MCP6N16’s CMOS process technology enables low power consumption whilst still providing 500 kHz bandwidth, and it features a hardware-enable pin for extra power savings. Its 1,8 V operation allows two dry-cell, 1,5 V batteries to be drained well beyond typical use, and its rail-to-rail input and output operation enables full-range use, even in low-supply conditions.

The IC is ideal for sensor interfaces, signal conditioning, and stationary and portable instrumentation, for the medical, consumer and industrial markets. It is available in 8-pin MSOP and 3x3 mm DFN packages.
