The MCP6031 single voltage supply op amp from Microchip Technology has a gain bandwidth of 10 kHz with a low typical operating current of 900 nA and an offset voltage that is less than 150 µV. The MCP6031 uses Microchip's advanced CMOS technology, which provides low bias current, high-speed operation, high open-loop gain, and rail-to-rail input and output swing. The MCP6031 operates with a single supply voltage that can be as low as 1.8 V while drawing less than 1 µA of quiescent current. The MCP6031 is available in standard 8-lead SOIC, MSOP, SOT-23, and 2 x 3 DFN packages. AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification is available for this device.  It is vital for designers of embedded control products to select the most suitable controller and companion devices. Embedded control products are found in all market segments: consumer, PC peripherals, telecommunications, automotive, and industrial. Most embedded control products must meet special requirements: cost-effectiveness, low-power, small-footprint, and a high level of system integration. This combination of features makes the MCP6031 suitable for battery-powered and portable applications.
