Product details
Overview
MCP6291IDCKR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for low-power, precision signal conditioning in 2.4 V to 5.5 V systems. It delivers 10-MHz gain bandwidth, 8.7 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 10 kHz, 1 pA input bias current, and operates across –40°C to 125°C - enabling use in battery-powered sensor front-ends and automotive HVAC control loops.
For engineers reviewing the MCP6291IDCKR datasheet, MCP6291IDCKR pinout, MCP6291IDCKR application, or MCP6291IDCKR equivalent, key selection criteria include capacitive-load stability (tested up to 300 pF), resistive open-loop output impedance (100 Ω at 10 MHz), EMI rejection performance, and rail-to-rail swing capability with ≤15 mV headroom into 10 kΩ loads.
Technical Context
The MCP6291IDCKR employs a complementary differential input stage (N- and P-channel pairs) to achieve rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending 100 mV beyond both supply rails - critical for single-supply operation near ground or VCC. Its class AB output stage enables full rail-to-rail swing with low quiescent current (600 µA typical).
It features an integrated RFI/EMI filter, no phase reversal under overdrive, and 4-kV HBM ESD protection. The device is unity-gain stable and exhibits improved capacitive-load tolerance due to its resistive open-loop output impedance - reducing overshoot and easing compensation in high-CL applications like ADC driver stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain bandwidth product | 10 MHz typical - supports stable unity-gain buffer or G = +10 amplification up to ~1 MHz without peaking. |
| Supply voltage range | 2.4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| Input bias current | 1 pA typical - enables high-impedance sensor interfacing (e.g., photodiodes, pH electrodes) without significant offset error. |
| Input voltage noise | 8.7 nV/√Hz at 10 kHz - suitable for medium-bandwidth analog filters and medical instrumentation signal chains. |
| Quiescent current | 600 µA per amplifier - balances speed and power for always-on battery monitoring and smoke detector analog front-ends. |
| Output swing | Within 15 mV of rails into 10 kΩ - maximizes dynamic range for 12-bit+ ADCs powered from same supply. |
| Open-loop output impedance | 100 Ω at 10 MHz - simplifies stability with capacitive loads and reduces sensitivity to PCB trace inductance. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC70-5 (DCK), body size 1.25 mm × 2.00 mm - ultra-compact footprint for space-constrained portable and automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: OUT | Amplifier output | Class AB rail-to-rail driver capable of sourcing/sinking ±50 mA short-circuit current; low-Z output aids driving ADC sample-and-hold capacitors. |
| 2: V– | Negative supply / ground reference | Common return path for dual-supply operation or ground node in single-supply configurations; tied directly to PCB ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 3: +IN | Noninverting input | High-impedance node (1 pA bias) accepting signals from sensors or DACs; benefits from guard ring layout to minimize leakage in high-Z applications. |
| 4: –IN | Inverting input | Differential input node used in transimpedance or difference-amplifier configurations; matched to +IN for CMRR >80 dB over temperature. |
| 5: V+ | Positive supply | Primary power input (2.4–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 2 mm for EMI suppression and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input | Common-mode range extends (V–) – 0.1 V to (V+) + 0.1 V - enables direct interface to 0–VCC sensors without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings to within 15 mV of either rail into 10 kΩ - preserves >99% of available voltage range for 12-bit ADCs operating on 3.3 V supplies. |
| Resistive open-loop output impedance | 100 Ω at 10 MHz - eliminates need for isolation resistors when driving >100 pF loads, reducing component count in compact designs. |
| Integrated RFI/EMI filter | Rejects >60 dB of RF interference up to 1 GHz - critical for automotive infotainment and industrial motor-control environments with switching noise. |
| No phase reversal | Remains stable during input overdrive - prevents latch-up or erroneous output states in fault conditions (e.g., sensor disconnect, ESD event). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP6001T-E/OT | Lower GBW (1 MHz), higher input bias current (15 pA), no integrated EMI filter. | Cost-optimized for non-critical, low-frequency sensing where RF immunity is not required. | Select when supply current <150 µA is mandatory and bandwidth ≤100 kHz suffices. |
| OPA333AIDBVR | Zero-drift architecture, lower offset (±2 µV), higher quiescent current (17 µA), no EMI filter. | Used where DC precision dominates over RF rejection - e.g., strain gauge bridges or precision references. | Choose for µV-level offset stability over time/temperature, accepting higher power and reduced EMI resilience. |
Compared with MCP6291IDCKR, MCP6001T-E/OT trades bandwidth and EMI immunity for ultra-low power, while OPA333AIDBVR prioritizes long-term DC accuracy over RF robustness and speed - making MCP6291IDCKR optimal for mixed-signal systems requiring balanced AC performance, noise, and environmental resilience.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MCP6291IDCKR can drive without instability?
The MCP6291IDCKR maintains stability with capacitive loads up to 300 pF, as verified by overshoot testing in the official datasheet (Figure C025). Its resistive open-loop output impedance (100 Ω at 10 MHz) enables this behavior without requiring external series resistance - unlike many general-purpose op amps that oscillate above 50–100 pF.
Does the MCP6291IDCKR support true rail-to-rail input when powered from a 2.4 V supply?
Yes. The MCP6291IDCKR guarantees rail-to-rail input operation from (V–) – 0.1 V to (V+) + 0.1 V across its full 2.4 V to 5.5 V supply range. At 2.4 V, this means the input accepts signals from –0.1 V to +2.5 V - essential for interfacing with sensors referenced to system ground or VCC.
How does the MCP6291IDCKR's EMI rejection compare to standard op amps?
The MCP6291IDCKR integrates an on-chip RFI/EMI filter that provides >60 dB rejection of RF interference up to 1 GHz (per Figure C041). This is significantly better than unfiltered op amps like the LM358, which typically exhibit <20 dB rejection above 100 MHz - making MCP6291IDCKR suitable for automotive and industrial environments with strong switching noise.
Can the MCP6291IDCKR be used in single-supply photodiode amplifier circuits?
Yes. With 1 pA input bias current, rail-to-rail input (including ground), and low 8.7 nV/√Hz noise, the MCP6291IDCKR is well-suited for single-supply transimpedance amplifiers. Its ability to operate down to 2.4 V allows direct integration with low-voltage microcontrollers and ADCs without additional power rails.
What is the overload recovery time specification for the MCP6291IDCKR?
The MCP6291IDCKR recovers from output saturation in 200 ns (0.2 µs), as specified in Section 7.7 of the datasheet. This fast recovery minimizes distortion in pulsed or transient-heavy signals - such as those found in smoke detector ion chambers or motor current sensing - ensuring accurate waveform reconstruction.
