The Microchip MCP6034-E/SL is a quad general-purpose operational amplifier designed for ultra-low-power applications. Each of its four channels draws just a fraction of the total 900 nA supply current, making it a strong candidate for battery-powered instrumentation, portable medical devices, and always-on sensor interfaces where every microamp counts. The 10 kHz gain-bandwidth product and 0.004 V/µs slew rate tell you this is not a fast amplifier — it is sized for DC and low-frequency signals: temperature monitoring, strain-gauge conditioning, and threshold detection loops.
Temperature range and industrial fit
The -E/ suffix in the order code flags the extended temperature grade — if your BOM calls for the commercial-range variant, the part number will differ.
For a micropower op-amp, those numbers are tight enough that you will not need to trim the offset in most low-gain DC paths. The 1 pA bias means you can use high-value feedback resistors (into the megohm range) without introducing a significant voltage error — useful for transimpedance amplifiers on photodiode signals where you are trying to keep the noise floor down.
Output drive and package reality
The package ships in Tube form — if your pick-and-place line expects Tape & Reel, check the reeled variant (MCP6034T-E/SL). The 14-SOIC body is 3.90 mm wide, a common footprint that matches many second-source quad op-amps.
