Product details

600 nA supply, rail-to-rail output

The MCP6043-I/SN draws 600 nA typical supply current — low enough that a CR2032 coin cell can power it for years in a temperature or humidity sensor. The rail-to-rail output lets it swing within millivolts of the supply rails, so you get the full ADC input range without a second gain stage.

14 kHz GBWP, 0.003 V/µs slew rate

Gain-bandwidth product is 14 kHz and slew rate is 0.003 V/µs. That combination means this op amp is for DC or very slow signals — think thermocouple conditioning, photodiode current sensing, or battery voltage monitoring. It will not track audio or motor encoder edges.

Active production, 8-SOIC package

Status is Active, ROHS3 compliant. The 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90 mm width) package is a standard footprint — hand-solderable with a fine tip, and widely supported by breakout boards. Supplied in Tube; if you need Tape & Reel for pick-and-place, check the MCP6043T-I/SN variant or request a quote for the tube-to-reel conversion.

1 pA input bias, 3 mV offset

Input bias current is 1 pA — negligible for high-impedance sources like pH probes or pyroelectric sensors. Input offset voltage is 3 mV typical; for a single-supply 3.3 V system that is about 0.09% of the rail, acceptable for most 8-10 bit measurements without auto-zero.

Frequently asked questions

Is MCP6043-I/SN suitable for battery-powered sensors?

Yes — the 600 nA supply current and 1.4 V minimum supply make it a strong fit for single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell applications. The rail-to-rail output preserves dynamic range at low supply voltages.

Does MCP6043-I/SN have a shutdown function?

The evidence does not list a shutdown pin or enable feature. For a micropower op amp with shutdown, consider the MCP6041 family (same 600 nA quiescent, plus SHDN).

What is the closest functional second-source to MCP6043-I/SN?

Within Microchip's portfolio, the MCP6142T-I/SN is a dual-channel op amp with similar 600 nA per channel supply and rail-to-rail output, but it offers 100 kHz GBWP and 0.024 V/µs slew rate — faster than the MCP6043. If you need a single-channel drop-in with higher bandwidth, the MCP6291T-E/MS (10 MHz, 7 V/µs) draws 1 mA, so it is not a low-power substitute.
