The 730 kHz gain-bandwidth product sets the usable closed-loop bandwidth: at a gain of 10, expect roughly 73 kHz of small-signal bandwidth, adequate for audio-frequency filtering, thermocouple amplification, or piezo-vibration monitoring. The 1 pA input bias current (typical) allows direct connection to high-impedance sources like photodiodes or pH electrodes without a separate buffer stage.
Rail-to-rail output and supply voltage flexibility
The 1.8 V minimum supply span means the part can operate from two alkaline cells or a Li-ion cell near end-of-discharge.
The SOT-23-5 footprint is widely second-sourced across the industry, but no direct pin-compatible alternate from another manufacturer is documented in the cross-reference tables — the closest functional peer within Microchip's own portfolio is the MCP6471T-E/LTY (2 MHz GBWP, 1.1 V/µs slew rate, 100 µA supply), which trades higher speed for slightly more current.
