Output current per channel is 23 mA. The 8-DIP through-hole package is breadboard-friendly and survives rework well. ## Lifecycle and sourcing posture For dual-sourcing, the MCP6242 family includes the same amplifier in SOIC-8 and MSOP-8 packages; the through-hole DIP variant is the one to specify if your assembly line or rework station expects leaded parts.","metaTitle":"MCP6242-E/P Dual Rail-to-Rail Op-Amp, 550 kHz, 8-DIP","metaDescription":"MCP6242-E/P dual general-purpose op-amp with rail-to-rail output, 550 kHz GBW, 50 µA per channel, 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply, -40°C to 125°C, 8-DIP package.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Memory (DRAM / SRAM / Flash / EEPROM)"],"specifications":{"Package":"Tube","Slew Rate":"0.3V/µs","Output Type":"Rail-to-Rail","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Amplifier Type":"General Purpose","Package / Case":"8-DIP (0.300\\\", 7.62mm)","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Current - Supply":"50µA (x2 Channels)","Number of Circuits":"2","Current - Input Bias":"1 pA","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 125°C (TA)","Gain Bandwidth Product":"550 kHz","Voltage - Input Offset":"5 mV","Supplier Device Package":"8-PDIP","Current - Output / Channel":"23 mA","Voltage - Supply Span (Max)":"5.5 V","Voltage - Supply Span (Min)":"1.8 V"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.53","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.53000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.43480","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.42000","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/b2021682e0cef0c8b634ce3e78e55cc3.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is MCP6242-E/P a rail-to-rail op-amp?","answer":"Yes, the MCP6242-E/P has a rail-to-rail output stage.
