Product details

Single general-purpose op-amp with 5 MHz GBWP and rail-to-rail output

The MCP6281-E/P: The rail-to-rail output stage lets it swing close to the supply rails, which helps when driving an ADC input or a low-voltage load without losing headroom.

Through-hole DIP package — field-swappable, breadboard-friendly

Housed in an 8-pin DIP package (0.300" width, 7.62 mm pitch), the MCP6281-E/P is a through-hole part that fits standard breadboards and prototyping sockets, and it's easy to swap in the field with basic tools — no hot-air station needed. The supplier device package is 8-PDIP, and it ships in tube form — not tape-and-reel, so plan for manual placement or a tube feeder on the pick-and-place if you're running a through-hole line.

Temperature range and input characteristics for industrial use

Input bias current is a mere 1 pA (typical), which means it won't load down high-impedance sources like photodiode or pH probe outputs — the offset voltage is specified at 3 mV maximum, so plan for a trim or accept the DC error in your gain stage.

Frequently asked questions

Can MCP6281-E/P replace MCP6001 in my circuit?

The MCP6281-E/P is a faster part (5 MHz GBWP, 2.5 V/µs slew rate) compared to the MCP6001 (1 MHz, 0.6 V/µs). It is pin-compatible in the same single DIP-8 footprint, but check your loop stability and bandwidth requirements — the higher speed may need compensation if your feedback network was tuned for the slower part.

What is the equivalent of MCP6281-E/P?

The surface-mount sibling MCP6281T-E/SN is the same amplifier in an SOIC-8 package, electrically identical. For a dual-channel version in DIP, look at the MCP6272-E/P (2 MHz GBWP, 0.9 V/µs slew rate) — slower but with two amps in the same 8-pin footprint.
