What the 2 MHz GBWP and 0.9 V/µs slew rate mean for your signal chain
Its 2 MHz gain-bandwidth product supports closed-loop gains up to 100 in the audio band or modest anti-aliasing filters before the ADC, while the 0.9 V/µs slew rate handles 20 kHz full-scale swings without significant distortion. Input bias current sits at 1 pA, so high-impedance sources like photodiodes or pH probes do not load the signal. Supply current is 150 µA per amplifier, making it a fit for always-on sensor nodes and battery-operated instruments where every microamp is budgeted.
Temperature grade and package — where this part lives on the board
The SOT-23-5 footprint (SC-74A, SOT-753 case outline) is a standard five-pin surface-mount package that shares land patterns with many other single op amps, so board respins are minimal if a second source is needed. The tape-and-reel (TR) and cut-tape (CT) shipping options mean the same part code covers both prototype pick-and-place and full production reels.
Microchip lists the MCP6L71T-E/OT as Active with a ROHS3 compliance status. For volume production or a BOM line that needs dual-source assurance, the MSOP-8 variant MCP6L71T-E/MS is the same amplifier in a different package; the dual-channel MCP6L72T-E/SN (SOIC-8) covers designs needing two amplifiers in one package.
