The rail-to-rail output stage allows maximum signal swing on low supply rails, and the input common-mode range includes ground, simplifying single-supply designs. With a 550 kHz gain-bandwidth product, this op-amp is suited for audio-band filtering, low-frequency ADC drive, and DC-level shifting. The 0.3 V/µs slew rate limits large-signal bandwidth to roughly 48 kHz at 2 Vpp output, so it is not intended for fast pulse amplification or high-speed data acquisition. For designs needing faster settling, the MCP6281T-E/SN (5 MHz, 2.5 V/µs) or MCP6291T-E/MS (10 MHz, 7 V/µs) are pin-compatible upgrades in similar packages, though they draw 400 µA and 1 mA respectively. ## 50 µA supply current — the battery-life decision The 50 µA quiescent current is the headline number for energy-constrained designs. At 1.8 V minimum supply, the total power per channel is under 90 µW. This makes the MCP6241UT-E/LT a strong candidate for always-on sensor front-ends, wearable health monitors, and remote IoT nodes where every microamp counts. The 23 mA output drive per channel is sufficient for driving a reference input or a light load, but not for headphones or relays. ## Temperature range and operating environment The extended temperature range means it can be used in outdoor telecom cabinets, engine bay sensor conditioning, and factory-floor signal chains without derating. The SC-70-5 package is compact enough for dense PCBs but requires careful thermal management if the device is dissipating near its maximum junction temperature. ## Lifecycle and sourcing posture For dual-sourcing flexibility, the MCP6281T-E/SN (5 MHz, 2.5 V/µs) and MCP6291T-E/MS (10 MHz, 7 V/µs) are functional alternatives in similar packages, though they draw higher supply current.","metaTitle":"MCP6241UT-E/LT General Purpose Op-Amp, 550 kHz GBWP, SC-70-5","metaDescription":"Microchip MCP6241UT-E/LT single general-purpose op-amp with 550 kHz gain bandwidth, 50 µA supply, rail-to-rail output, -40°C to 125°C.
