3.1 Analog Outputs
The output pins are low impedance voltage sources.
3.2 Analog Inputs
The non-inverting and inverting inputs are high
impedance CMOS inputs with low bias currents.
3.3 Power Supply Pins
The positive power supply (VDD) is 2.0V to 6.0V higher
than the negative power supply (VSS). For normal
operation, the other pins are at voltages between VSS
and VDD.
Typically, these parts are used in a single (positive)
supply configuration. In this case, VSS is connected to
ground and VDD is connected to the supply. VDD will
need bypass capacitors.

MCP6L71/1R/2/4
4.0 APPLICATION INFORMATION
The MCP6L71/1R/2/4 family of op amps is
manufactured using Microchip’s state of the art CMOS
process, specifically designed for low cost, low power
and general purpose applications. The low supply
voltage, low quiescent current and wide bandwidth
make the MCP6L71/1R/2/4 ideal for battery powered
applications.
4.1 Rail-to-Rail Inputs
4.1.1 PHASE REVERSAL
The MCP6L71/1R/2/4 op amps are designed to pre-
vent phase inversion when the input pins exceed the
supply voltages. Figure 2-10 shows an input voltage
exceeding both supplies without any phase reversal.
4.1.2 INP UT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT
LIMITS
In order to prevent damag e and/or improper operation
of these amplifiers, the circuit they are in must limit the
currents (and voltages) at the input pins (see
Section 1.1 “Absolute Maximum Ratings †”).
Figure 4-1 shows the recommended approach to pro-
tecting 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.
FIGURE 4-1: Protecting the Analog
Inputs.
A significant amount of current can flow out of the
inputs (through the ESD diodes) when the common
mode voltage (VCM) is below ground (VSS); see
Figure 2-7. Applications that are high impedance may
need to limit the usable voltage range.
4.1.3 NORMAL OPERATIONS
The input stage of the MCP6L71/1R/2/4 op amps uses
two differential CMOS input stages in parallel. One
operates at low common mode input voltage (VCM),
while the other at high VCM. With this topology, and at
room temperature, the device operates with VCM up to
0.3V above VDD and 0.3V below VSS (typically at
+25°C).
The transition between the two input stage occurs
when VCM =VDD 1.1V. For the best distortion and
gain linearity , with non-inverting gains, avoid this region
of operation.
4.2 Rail-to-Rail Output
The output voltage range of the MCP6L71/1R/2/4 op
amps is VDD 20 mV (minimum) and VSS +20mV
(maximum) when RL=10kΩ is connected to VDD/2
and VDD = 5.0V. Refer to Figure 2-13 for more informa-
tion.
4.3 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 peakin g in the frequency
response, with overshoot and ringing in the step
response.
When driving large capacitive loads with these op
amps (e.g., > 100 pF when G = +1), a small series
resistor at the output (RISO in Figure 4-2) improv es 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.
FIGURE 4-2: Output Resistor, RISO
Stabilizes Large Capacitive Loads.
Bench measurements are helpful in choosing RISO.
Adjust RISO so that a small signal step response (see
Figure 2-15) has reasonable oversh oot (e.g., 4%).

4.4 Supply Bypass
With this family of operational amplifiers, the power
supply pin (VDD for single supp ly) should have a local
bypass capacitor (i.e., 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF) within 2 mm
for good, high frequency perfo rmance. It also needs a
bulk capacitor (i.e., 1 µF or larger) within 100 mm to
provide large, slow currents. This bulk capacitor can be
shared with nearby analog parts.
4.5 Unused Amplifiers
An unused op amp in a quad package (MCP6L74)
should be configured as shown in Figure 4-3. These
circuits prevent the output from toggling and causing
crosstalk. In Circuit A, R1 and R2 produce a voltage
within its output voltage range (VOH, VOL). The op amp
buffers this voltage, which can be used elsewhere in
the circuit. Circuit B uses the minimum number of
components and operates as a comparator.
FIGURE 4-3: Unused Op Amps.
4.6 PCB Surface Leakage
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. This is greater than the
MCP6L71/1R/2/4 family’s bias current at +25°C (1 pA,
typical).
The easiest way to reduce surface leaka ge is to use a
guard ring around sensitive pins (or traces). The guard
ring is biased at the same voltage as the sensitive pin.
Figure 4-4 shows an example of this typ e of layout.
FIGURE 4-4: Example Guard Ring
Layout.
1. For Inverting Gain and Transimpedance
Amplifiers (convert current to voltage, such as
photo detect ors):
a) Connect the guard ring to the non-inverting
input pin (VIN+). This biases th e 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.
2. Non-inverting Gain and Unity Gain Buffer:
a) Connect the guard ring to the inverting input
pin (VIN–). This biases the guard ring to the
common mode input voltage.
b) Connect the non-inverting pi n (VIN+) to the
input with a wire that does not touch the
PCB surface.
4.7 Application Circuits
4.7.1 INVERTING INTEGRATOR
An inverting integrator is shown in Figure 4-5. The
circuit provides an output voltage that is proportional to
the negative time-integral of the input. Additional resis-
tor R2 limits DC gain and controls output clipping. To
minimize the impefection in integrator function, the
value of R2 should be much la rger than the valu e of R1.

5.0 DESIGN TOOLS
Microchip provides the basic design tools needed for
the MCP6L71/1R/2/4 family of op amps.
5.1 FilterLab® Software
Microchip’s FilterLab® software is an innovative
software tool that simplifies analog active filter (using
op amps) design. Available at no cost from the Micro-
chip web site at www .microchip.com/filterlab, the Filter-
Lab design tool provides full schematic diagrams of the
filter circuit with component va lues. It also outputs the
filter circuit in SPICE format, which can be used with
the macro model to simulate actual filter performance.
5.2 MAPS (Microchip Advanced Part
Selector)
MAPS is a software tool that helps efficiently identify
Microchip devices that fit a particular design require-
ment. Available at no cost from the Microchip web site
at www.microchip.com/ maps, the MAPS is an overall
selection tool for Microchip’s product portfolio that
includes Analog, Memory , MCUs and DSCs. Using this
tool you can define a filter to sort features for a para-
metric search of devices and export side-by-side tech-
nical comparison reports. Helpful links are also
provided for Data sheets, Purchase, and Sampling of
Microchip parts.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Dat a
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection featur es of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’ s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digit al Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to you r software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:200 2 certif ication for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperi pherals, nonvola tile memo ry and
analog product s. In addition, Microchip s quality system for the design
and manufacture of development systems is ISO 9001:2000 certified.
