MCP6V01/2/3: Spread clock, lower offset
Description
The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP6V06/7/8 family of
operational amplifiers has input offset voltage
correction for very low offset and offset drift. These
devices have a wide gain bandwidth product (1.3 MHz,
typical) and strongly reject switching noise. They are
unity gain stable, have no 1/f noise, and have good
PSRR and CMRR. These products operate with a
single supply voltage as low as 1.8V, while drawing
300 µA/amplifier (typical) of quiescent current.
The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP6V06/7/8 op amps
are offered in single (MCP6V06), single with Chip
Select (CS) (MCP6V08), and dual (MCP6V07). They
are designed in an advanced CMOS process.

1.4 Test Circuits
The circuits used for the DC and AC tests are shown in
Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6. Lay the bypass capacitors
out as discussed in Section 4.3.8 “Supply Bypassing
and Filtering”. RN is equal to the parallel combination
of RF and RG to minimize bias current effects.
FIGURE 1-5: AC and DC Test Circuit for
Most Non-Inverting Gain Conditions.
FIGURE 1-6: AC and DC Test Circuit for
Most Inverting Gain Conditions.
The circuit in Figure 1-7 tests the op amp input’s
dynamic behavior (i.e., IMD, tSTR, tSTL and tODR). The
potentiometer balances the resistor network (VOUT
should equal VREF at DC). The op amp’s common
mode input voltage is VCM =V
IN/2. The error at the
input (VERR) appears at VOUT with a noise gain of
10 V/V.

3.0 PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 3-1.
TABLE 3-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE
3.1 Analog Outputs
The analog output pins (VOUT) are low-impedance
voltage sources.
3.2 Analog Inputs
The non-inverting and inverting inputs (VIN+, VIN–, …)
are high-impedance CMOS inputs with low bias
currents.
3.3 Power Supply Pins
The positive power supply (VDD) is 1.8V to 5.5V higher
than the negative power supply (VSS). For normal
operation, the other pins are 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.
3.4 Chip Select (CS) Digital Input
This pin (CS) is a CMOS, Schmitt-triggered input that
places the MCP6V08 op amps into a low power mode
of operation.
3.5 Exposed Thermal Pad (EP)
There is an internal connection between the Exposed
Thermal Pad (EP) and the VSS pin; they must be con-
nected to the same potential on the Printed Circuit
Board (PCB).
This pad can be connected to a PCB ground plane to
provide a larger heat sink. This improves the package
thermal resistance (θJA).

MCP6V06/7/8
4.0 APPLICATIONS
The MCP6V06/7/8 family of auto-zeroed op amps is
manufactured using Microchip’s state of the art CMOS
process. It is designed for low cost, low power and high
precision applications. Its low supply voltage, low
quiescent current and wide bandwidth makes the
MCP6V06/7/8 ideal for battery-powered applications.
4.1 Overview of Auto-zeroing
Operation
Figure 4-1 shows a simplified diagram of the
MCP6V06/7/8 auto-zeroed op amps. This will be used
to explain how the DC voltage errors are reduced in this
architecture.
FIGURE 4-1: Simplified Auto-zeroed Op Amp Functional Diagram.
4.1.1 BUILDING BLOCKS
The Null Amp. and Main Amp. are designed for high
gain and accuracy using a differential topology. They
have an auxiliary input (bottom left) used for correcting
the offset voltages. Both inputs are added together
internally. The capacitors at the auxiliary inputs (CFW
and CH) hold the corrected values during normal
operation.
The Output Buffer is designed to drive external loads at
the VOUT pin. It also produces a single ended output
voltage (VREF is an internal reference voltage).
All of these switches are make-before-break in order to
minimize glitch-induced errors. They are driven by two
clock phases (φ1 and φ2) that select between normal
mode and auto-zeroing mode.
The clock is derived from an internal R-C oscillator
running at a rate of fOSC1 = 650 kHz. The oscillator’s
output is divided down to the desired rate. It is also
randomized to minimize (spread) undesired clock
tones in the output.
The internal POR ensures the part starts up in a known
good state. It also provides protection against power
supply brown out events.
The Chip Select input places the op amp in a low power
state when it is high. When it goes low, it powers the op
amp at its normal level and starts operation properly.
The Digital Control circuitry takes care of all of the
housekeeping details of the switching operation. It also
takes care of Chip Select and POR events.

4.1.2 AUTO-ZEROING ACTION
Figure 4-2 shows the connections between amplifiers
during the Normal Mode of operation (φ1). The hold
capacitor (CH) corrects the Null Amplifier’s input offset.
Since the Null Amplifier has very high gain, it
dominates the signal seen by the Main Amplifier. This
greatly reduces the impact of the Main Amplifier’s input
offset voltage on overall performance. Essentially, the
Null Amplifier and Main Amplifier behave as a regular
op amp with very high gain (AOL) and very low offset
voltage (VOS).
FIGURE 4-2: Normal Mode of Operation (
φ
1); Equivalent Amplifier Diagram.
Figure 4-3 shows the connections between amplifiers
during the Auto-zeroing Mode of operation (φ2). The
signal goes directly through the Main Amplifier, and the
flywheel capacitor (CFW) maintains a constant correc-
tion on the Main Amplifier’s offset.
The Null Amplifier uses its own high open loop gain to
drive the voltage across CH to the point where its input
offset voltage is almost zero. Because the principal
input is connected to VIN+, the auto-zeroing action
corrects the offset at the current common mode input
voltage (VCM) and supply voltage (VDD). This makes
the DC CMRR and PSRR very high also.
Since these corrections happen every 50 µs, or so, we
also minimize slow errors, including offset drift with
temperature (ΔVOS/ΔTA), 1/f noise, and input offset
aging.
FIGURE 4-3: Auto-zeroing Mode of Operation (
φ
2); Equivalent Diagram.
4.1.3 INTERMODULATION DISTORTION
(IMD)
The MCP6V06/7/8 op amps will show intermodulation
distortion (IMD), products when an AC signal is
present.
The signal and clock can be decomposed into sine
wave tones (Fourier series components). These tones
interact with the auto-zeroing circuitry’s non-linear
response to produce IMD tones at sum and difference
frequencies. IMD distortion tones are generated about
all of the square wave clock’s harmonics. See
Figure 2-37 and Figure 2-38.

MCP6V06/7/8
4.2 Other Functional Blocks
4.2.1 RAIL-TO-RAIL INPUTS
The input stage of the MCP6V06/7/8 op amps uses two
differential CMOS input stages in parallel. One
operates at low common mode input voltage (VCM,
which is approximately equal to VIN+ and VIN– in nor-
mal operation) and the other at high VCM. With this
topology, the input operates with VCM up to 0.2V past
either supply rail at +25°C (see Figure 2-18). The input
offset voltage (VOS) is measured at VCM =V
SS –0.2V
and VDD + 0.2V to ensure proper operation.
The transition between the input stages occurs when
VCM VDD 0.9V (see Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8). For
the best distortion and gain linearity, with non-inverting
gains, avoid this region of operation.
4.2.1.1 Phase Reversal
The input devices are designed to not exhibit phase
inversion when the input pins exceed the supply
voltages. Figure 2-43 shows an input voltage
exceeding both supplies with no phase inversion.
4.2.1.2 Input Voltage and Current Limits
The ESD protection on the inputs can be depicted as
shown in Figure 4-4. 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.
FIGURE 4-4: Simplified Analog Input ESD
Structures.
In order to prevent damage and/or improper operation
of these amplifiers, the circuit must limit the currents
(and voltages) at the input pins (see Section 1.1
“Absolute Maximum Ratings †”). Figure 4-5 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.
FIGURE 4-5: Protecting the Analog
Inputs.
It is also possible to connect the diodes to the left of the
resistor R1 and R2. In this case, the currents through
the diodes D1 and D2 need 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.
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 2-17. Applications that are high impedance may
need to limit the usable voltage range.
4.2.2 RAIL-TO-RAIL OUTPUT
The output voltage range of the MCP6V06/7/8
auto-zeroed op amps is VDD 15 mV (minimum) and
VSS + 15 mV (maximum) when RL=20kΩ is
connected to VDD/2 and VDD = 5.5V. Refer to
Figure 2-19 and Figure 2-20 for more information.
These op amps are designed to drive light loads; use
another amplifier to buffer the output from heavy loads.
4.2.3 CHIP SELECT (CS)
The single MCP6V08 has a Chip Select (CS) pin.
When CS is pulled high, the supply current for the
corresponding op amp drops to about 1 µA (typical),
and is pulled through the CS pin to VSS. When this
happens, the amplifier is put into a high impedance
state. By pulling CS low, the amplifier is enabled. If the
CS pin is left floating, the internal pull-down resistor
(about 5 MΩ) will keep the part on. Figure 1-4 shows
the output voltage and supply current response to a CS
pulse.

4.3 Application Tips
4.3.1 INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE OVER
TEMPERATURE
Table 1-1 gives both the linear and quadratic tempera-
ture coefficients (TC1 and TC2) of input offset voltage.
The input offset voltage, at any temperature in the
specified range, can be calculated as follows:
EQUATION 4-1:
4.3.2 DC GAIN PLOTS
Figure 2-9, Figure 2-10 and Figure 2-11 are histograms
of the reciprocals (in units of µV/V) of CMRR, PSRR
and AOL, respectively. They represent the change in
input offset voltage (VOS) with a change in common
mode input voltage (VCM), power supply voltage (VDD)
and output voltage (VOUT).
The 1/AOL histogram is centered near 0 µV/V because
the measurements are dominated by the op amp’s
input noise. The negative values shown represent
noise, not unstable behavior. We validate the op amps’
stability by making multiple measurements of VOS;
instability would manifest itself as a greater unex-
plained variability in VOS or as the railing of the output.
4.3.3 SOURCE RESISTANCES
The input bias currents have two significant
components; switching glitches that dominate at room
temperature and below, and input ESD diode leakage
currents that dominate at +85°C and above.
Make the resistances seen by the inputs small and
equal. This minimizes the output offset caused by the
input bias currents.
The inputs should see a resistance on the order of 10Ω
to 1 kΩ at high frequencies (i.e., above 1 MHz). This
helps minimize the impact of switching glitches, which
are very fast, on overall performance. In some cases, it
may be necessary to add resistors in series with the
inputs to achieve this improvement in performance.
4.3.4 SOURCE CAPACITANCE
The capacitances seen by the two inputs should be
small and matched. The internal switches connected to
the inputs dump charges on these capacitors; an offset
can be created if the capacitances do not match.
4.3.5 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. These auto-zeroed op amps have a different
output impedance than most op amps, due to their
unique topology.
When driving a capacitive load with these op amps, a
series resistor at the output (RISO in Figure 4-6)
improves the feedback loop’s phase margin (stability)
by making the output load resistive at higher frequen-
cies. The bandwidth will be generally lower than the
bandwidth with no capacitive load.
FIGURE 4-6: Output Resistor, RISO,
Stabilizes Capacitive Loads.
Figure 4-7 gives recommended RISO values for
different capacitive loads and is independent of the
gain.

MCP6V06/7/8
After selecting RISO for your circuit, double check the
resulting frequency response peaking and step
response overshoot. Modify RISO's value until the
response is reasonable. Bench evaluation and
simulations with the MCP6V06 SPICE macro model
(good for all of the MCP6V06/7/8 op amps) are helpful.
4.3.6 STABILIZING OUTPUT LOADS
This family of auto-zeroed op amps has an output
impedance (Figure 2-31 and Figure 2-32) that has a
double zero when the gain is low. This can cause a
large phase shift in feedback networks that have low
resistance near the part’s bandwidth. This large phase
shift can cause stability problems.
Figure 4-8 shows one circuit example that has low
resistance near the part’s bandwidth. RF and CF set a
pole at 0.16 kHz, so the noise gain (GN) is 1 V/V at the
circuit’s bandwidth (roughly 1.3 MHz). The load seen
by the op amp’s output at 1.3 MHz is RG||RL (99Ω).
This is low enough to be a real concern.
FIGURE 4-8: Output Load Issue.
To solve this problem, increase the resistive load to at
least 3 kΩ. Methods to accomplish this task include:
Increase RG
Remove CF (relocate the filter)
Add a 3 kΩ resistor at the op amp’s output that is
not in the signal path; see Figure 4-9
FIGURE 4-9: One Solution To Output
Load Issue.
4.3.7 REDUCING UNDESIRED NOISE
AND SIGNALS
Reduce undesired noise and signals with:
Low bandwidth signal filters:
- Minimizes random analog noise
- Reduces interfering signals
Good PCB layout techniques:
- Minimizes crosstalk
- Minimizes parasitic capacitances and induc-
tances that interact with fast switching edges
Good power supply design:
- Isolation from other parts
- Filtering of interference on supply line(s)
4.3.8 SUPPLY BYPASSING AND
FILTERING
With this family of operational amplifiers, 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
of the pin for good high-frequency performance.
These parts also need 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 low noise,
analog parts.
Additional filtering of high frequency power supply
noise (e.g., switched mode power supplies) can be
achieved using resistors. The resistors need to be
small enough to prevent a large drop in VDD for the op
amp, which would cause a reduced output range and
possible load-induced power supply noise. The resis-
tors also need to be large enough to dissipate little
power when VDD is turned on and off quickly. The cir-
cuit in Figure 4-10 gives good rejection out to 1 MHz for
switched mode power supplies. Smaller resistors and
capacitors are a better choice for designs where the
power supply is reasonably quiet.

4.3.9 PCB DESIGN FOR DC PRECISION
In order to achieve DC precision on the order of ±1 µV,
many physical errors need to be minimized. The design
of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), the wiring, and the
thermal environment has a strong impact on the
precision achieved. A poor PCB design can easily be
more than 100 times worse than the MCP6V06/7/8 op
amps minimum and maximum specifications.
4.3.9.1 Thermo-junctions
Any time two dissimilar metals are joined together, a
temperature dependent voltage appears across the
junction (the Seebeck or thermo-junction effect). This
effect is used in thermocouples to measure tempera-
ture. The following are examples of thermo-junctions
on a PCB:
Components (resistors, op amps, …) soldered to
a copper pad
Wires mechanically attached to the PCB
Jumpers
•Solder joints
•PCB vias
Typical thermo-junctions have temperature to voltage
conversion coefficients of 10 to 100 µV/°C (sometimes
higher).
There are three basic approaches to minimizing
thermo-junction effects:
Minimize thermal gradients
Cancel thermo-junction voltages
Minimize difference in thermal potential between
metals
4.3.9.2 Non-inverting and Inverting Amplifier
Layout for Thermo-junctions
Figure 4-11 shows the recommended non-inverting
and inverting gain amplifier circuits on one schematic.
Usually, to minimize the input bias current related off-
set, R1 is chosen to be R2||R3.
The guard traces (with ground vias at the ends) help
minimize the thermal gradients. The resistor layout
cancels the resistor thermal voltages, assuming the
temperature gradient is constant near the resistors:
EQUATION 4-2:
FIGURE 4-11: PCB Layout and Schematic
for Single Non-inverting and Inverting Amplifiers.
Note: Changing the orientation of the resistors
will usually cause a significant decrease in
the cancellation of the thermal voltages.

4.3.9.3 Difference Amplifier Layout for
Thermo-junctions
Figure 4-12 shows the recommended difference ampli-
fier circuit. Usually, we choose R1=R
2 and R3=R
4.
The guard traces (with ground vias at the ends) help
minimize the thermal gradients. The resistor layout
cancels the resistor thermal voltages, assuming the
temperature gradient is constant near the resistors:
EQUATION 4-3:
FIGURE 4-12: PCB Layout and Schematic
for Single Difference Amplifier.
4.3.9.4 Dual Non-inverting Amplifier Layout
for Thermo-junctions
The dual op amp amplifiers shown in Figure 4-16 and
Figure 4-17 produce a non-inverting difference gain
greater than 1, and a common mode gain of 1 .They
can use the layout shown in Figure 4-13. The gain set-
ting resistors (R2) between the two sides are not com-
bined so that the thermal voltages can be canceled.
The guard traces (with ground vias at the ends) help
minimize the thermal gradients. The resistor layout
cancels the resistor thermal voltages, assuming the
temperature gradient is constant near the resistors:
EQUATION 4-4:

4.3.9.5 Other PCB Thermal Design Tips
In cases where an individual resistor needs to have its
thermo-junction voltage cancelled, it can be split into
two equal resistors as shown in Figure 4-14. To keep
the thermal gradients near the resistors as small as
possible, the layouts are symmetrical with a ring of
metal around the outside. Make R1A =R
1B =R
1/2 and
R2A =R
2B =2R
2.
FIGURE 4-14: PCB Layout for Individual
Resistors.
Minimize temperature gradients at critical components
(resistors, op amps, heat sources, etc.):
Minimize exposure to gradients
- Small components
- Tight spacing
- Shield from air currents
Align with constant temperature (contour) lines
- Place on PCB center line
Minimize magnitude of gradients
- Select parts with lower power dissipation
- Use same metal junctions on thermo-junc-
tions that need to match
- Use metal junctions with low temperature to
voltage coefficients
- Large distance from heat sources
- Ground plane underneath (large area)
- FR4 gaps (no copper for thermal insulation)
- Series resistors inserted into traces (adds
thermal and electrical resistance)
- Use heat sinks
Make the temperature gradient point in one direction:
Add guard traces
- Constant temperature curves follow the
traces
- Connect to ground plane
Shape any FR4 gaps
- Constant temperature curves follow the
edges
4.3.9.6 Crosstalk
DC crosstalk causes offsets that appear as a larger
input offset voltage. Common causes include:
Common mode noise (remote sensors)
Ground loops (current return paths)
Power supply coupling
Interference from the mains (usually 50 Hz or 60 Hz),
and other AC sources, can also affect the DC perfor-
mance. Non-linear distortion can convert these signals
to multiple tones, included a DC shift in voltage. When
the signal is sampled by an ADC, these AC signals can
also be aliased to DC, causing an apparent shift in
offset.
To reduce interference:
- Keep traces and wires as short as possible
- Use shielding (e.g., encapsulant)
- Use ground plane (at least a star ground)
- Place the input signal source near to the DUT
- Use good PCB layout techniques
- Use a separate power supply filter (bypass
capacitors) for these auto-zeroed op amps
4.3.9.7 Miscellaneous Effects
Keep the resistances seen by the input pins as small
and as near to equal as possible to minimize bias cur-
rent related offsets.
Make the (trace) capacitances seen by the input pins
small and equal. This is helpful in minimizing switching
glitch-induced offset voltages.
Bending a coax cable with a radius that is too small
causes a small voltage drop to appear on the center or
(the tribo-electric effect). Make sure the bending radius
is large enough to keep the conductors and insulation
in full contact.
Mechanical stresses can make some capacitor types
(such as ceramic) to output small voltages. Use more
appropriate capacitor types in the signal path and
minimize mechanical stresses and vibration.
Humidity can cause electro-chemical potential voltages
to appear in a circuit. Proper PCB cleaning helps, as
does the use of encapsulants.
Note: Changing the orientation of the resistors
will usually cause a significant decrease in
the cancellation of the thermal voltages.

4.4 Typical Applications
4.4.1 WHEATSTONE BRIDGE
Many sensors are configured as Wheatstone bridges.
Strain gauges and pressure sensors are two common
examples. These signals can be small and the
common mode noise large. Amplifier designs with high
differential gain are desirable.
Figure 4-15 shows how to interface to a Wheatstone
bridge with a minimum of components. Because the
circuit is not symmetric, the ADC input is single ended,
and there is a minimum of filtering, the CMRR is good
enough for moderate common mode noise.
FIGURE 4-15: Simple Design.
Figure 4-16 shows a higher performance circuit for
Wheatstone bridges. This circuit is symmetric and has
high CMRR. Using a differential input to the ADC helps
with the CMRR.
FIGURE 4-16: High Performance Des ign .
4.4.2 RTD SENSOR
The ratiometric circuit in Figure 4-17 conditions a three
wire RTD. It corrects for the sensors wiring resistance
by subtracting the voltage across the middle RW. The
top R1 does not change the output voltage; it balances
the op amp inputs. Failure (open) of the RTD is
detected by an out-of-range voltage.

4.4.3 THERMOCOUPLE SENSOR
Figure 4-18 shows a simplified diagram of an amplifier
and temperature sensor used in a thermocouple
application. The type K thermocouple senses the
temperature at the hot junction (THJ), and produces a
voltage at V1 proportional to THJ (in °C). The amplifier’s
gain is is set so that V4/THJ is 10 mV/°C. V3 represents
the output of a temperature sensor, which produces a
voltage proportional to the temperature (in °C) at the
cold junction (TCJ), and with a 0.50V offset. V2 is set so
that V4 is 0.50V when THJ –T
CJ is 0°C.
EQUATION 4-5:
FIGURE 4-18: Thermocouple Sensor;
Simplified Circuit.
Figure 4-19 shows a more complete implementation of
this circuit. The dashed red arrow indicates a thermally
conductive connection between the thermocouple and
the MCP9700A; it needs to be very short and have low
thermal resistance.
FIGURE 4-19: Thermocouple Sensor.
The MCP9700A senses the temperature at its physical
location. It needs to be at the same temperature as the
cold junction (TCJ), and produces V3 (Figure 4-16).
The MCP1541 produces a 4.10V output, assuming
VDD is at 5.0V. This voltage, tied to a resistor ladder of
4.100(RTH) and 1.3224(RTH), would produce a Theve-
nin equivalent of 1.00V and 250(RTH). The
1.3224(RTH) resistor is combined in parallel with the
top right RTH resistor (in Figure 4-18), producing the
0.5696(RTH) resistor.
V4 should be converted to digital, then corrected for the
thermocouple’s non-linearity. The ADC can use the
MCP1541 as its voltage reference. Alternately, an
absolute reference inside a PICmicro® can be used
instead of the MCP1541.
4.4.4 OFFSET VOLTAGE CORRECTION
Figure 4-20 shows a MCP6V06 correcting the input
offset voltage of another op amp. R2 and C2 integrate
the offset error seen at the other op amp’s input; the
integration needs to be slow enough to be stable (with
the feedback provided by R1 and R3).
FIGURE 4-20: Offset Correction.
4.4.5 PRECISION COMPARATOR
Use high gain before a comparator to improve the
latter’s performance. Do not use MCP6V06/7/8 as a
comparator by itself; the VOS correction circuitry does
not operate properly without a feedback loop.

APPENDIX B: OFFSET RELATED
TEST SCREENS
Input offset voltage related specifications in the DC
spec table (Table 1-1) are based on bench measure-
ments (see Section 2.1 “DC Input Precision”). These
measurements are much more accurate because:
More compact circuit
Soldered parts on the PCB
More time spent averaging (reduces noise)
Better temperature control
- Reduced temperature gradients
- Greater accuracy
We use production screens to ensure the quality of our
outgoing products. These screens are set at wider lim-
its to eliminate any fliers; see Ta b l e B - 1 .
