Demo Board for MCP6031 - High Precision Op Amp
The MCP6031 Photodiode PICtail™ Plus Demo Board demonstrates how to use a transimpedance amplifier, which consists of MCP6031 high precision op amp and external resistors, to convert photo-current to voltage.
The RC low-pass filter that is implemented in this circuit can remove the high frequency noise and interference from the signal path prior to the analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion. The PICmicro® on the Explorer 16 Development Board communicates with the MCP6031 Photodiode PICtail™ Plus Demo Board and completes the analog-to-digital conversion.
The MCP6031 operational amplifier (op amp) has a gain bandwidth of 10 kHz with a low typical operating current of 900 nA and an offset voltage that is less than 150 uV. The MCP6031 uses Microchip's advanced CMOS technology, which provides low bias current, high-speed operation, high open-loop gain and rail-to-rail input and output swing.
