Product details

The Microchip MCP6231UT-E/LT is a single-channel general-purpose op-amp with a 300 kHz gain-bandwidth product and a 0.15 V/µs slew rate. This is a micropower part, drawing just 20 µA of supply current, so it's built for battery-powered or loop-powered sensor conditioning where every microamp matters. The 300 kHz GBW means you get clean gain up to about 30 kHz at a gain of 10 — plenty for thermocouple outputs, strain-gauge bridges, or photodiode front-ends that don't need video-speed settling.

The SC-70-5 package (also known as SOT-353) is a five-lead, surface-mount footprint that fits tight layouts — about 2.0 mm × 2.1 mm. That's small enough to slip into a sensor probe or a compact I/O module.

If you're looking for a pin-compatible alternative with higher bandwidth, the MCP6281T-E/SN (5 MHz) and MCP6291T-E/MS (10 MHz) are in the same family, but they draw more supply current — 400 µA and 1 mA respectively — so the trade-off is speed versus battery life.

Frequently asked questions

Is MCP6231UT-E/LT rail-to-rail?

Yes, the output type is rail-to-rail, so the output can swing to within a few millivolts of both supply rails. The input common-mode range is not rail-to-rail, but for a general-purpose op-amp in single-supply non-inverting configurations this is rarely a problem.

What is the equivalent part for MCP6231UT-E/LT?

Within the same Microchip family, the MCP6281T-E/SN offers a 5 MHz gain-bandwidth and 2.5 V/µs slew rate at 400 µA supply current, and the MCP6291T-E/MS offers 10 MHz and 7 V/µs at 1 mA. The trade-off is speed against supply current — the MCP6231UT-E/LT is the micropower choice at 20 µA.
