Product details

550 kHz GBW with 50 µA per channel — the low-power trade-off

The Microchip MCP6242-E/P is a dual general-purpose op-amp that delivers a 550 kHz gain-bandwidth product while drawing just 50 µA per channel.

Package and mounting

Slew rate is 0.3 V/µs. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is MCP6242-E/P a rail-to-rail op-amp?

Yes, the MCP6242-E/P has a rail-to-rail output stage. The input common-mode range is not rail-to-rail — it extends from the negative rail to within about 1 V of the positive rail — so for true rail-to-rail input, consider the MCP6V01 or MCP6V02 family.

Is MCP6242-E/P through-hole or surface mount?

Through-hole. The package is an 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62 mm) with a 8-PDIP supplier package designation. It plugs into a standard DIP socket or solders into plated through-holes.
