MCP6V01 Input Offset Demo Board
(MCP6V01DM-VOS)
The MCP6V01 Input Offset Demo Board
is intended to provide a simple means
to measure the MCP6V01/2/3 op amps
input offset voltage (Vos) under a variety
of bias conditions. This Vos includes
the specified input offset voltage value
found in the data sheet plus changes due to power supply
voltage (PSRR), common mode voltage (CMRR), output
voltage (AOL) and temperature (IVos/ITA).
MCP661 Line Driver Demo Board (MCP661DM-LD)
This demo board uses the MCP661 in
a very basic application for high speed
op amps; a 50Ω line (coax) driver.
The board offers a 30 MHz solution, high speed PCB
layout techniques and a means to test AC response, step
response and distortion. Both the input and the output are
connected to lab equipment with 50Ω BNC cables. There
are 50Ω terminating resistors and transmission lines on the
board. The op amp is set to a gain of 2V/V to overcome the
loss at its output caused by the 50Ω resistor at that point.
Connecting lab supplies to the board is simple; there are
three surface mount test points provided for this purpose.
Amplifier Evaluation Board 1 (MCP6XXXEV-AMP1)
The MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board
1 is designed to support inverting/non-
inverting amplifiers, voltage followers,
inverting/non-inverting comparators,
inverting/non-inverting differentiators.
Amplifier Evaluation Board 2 (MCP6XXXEV-AMP2)
The MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2
supports inverting summing amplifiers and
non-inverting summing amplifiers.
Amplifier Evaluation Board 3 (MCP6XXXEV-AMP3)
The MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board
3 is designed to support the difference
amplifier circuits which are generated by
the Mindi™ Amplifier Designer.
Amplifier Evaluation Board 4 (MCP6XXXEV-AMP4)
The MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board
4 is designed to support the inverting
integrator circuit.
MCP6H04 Evaluation Board Instrumentation
Amplifier (ADM00375)
The MCP6H04 Intrumentation Amplifier
board is designed to support signal
conditioner from sensors example
current sensor.
MCP6SX2 PGA Thermistor PICtail Demo Board
(MCP6SX2DM-PCTLTH)
The MCP6SX2 PGA Thermistor PICtail
Demo Board features the MCP6S22
and MCP6S92 Programmable Gain
Amplifiers (PGA). These devices help
overcome the non-linear response
of the on-board NTC thermistor. These devices have
user selectable inputs which allow the possibilities of
temperature correcting another sensor.
MCP6XXX Active Filter Demo (MCP6XXXDM-FLTR)
This kit supports Mindi™ Active Filter
Designer & Simulator and active filters
designed by FilterLab V2.0. These filters
are all pole and are built by cascading
first and second order sections.
Humidity Sensor PICtail Demo Board
(PIC16F690DM-PCTLHS)
This board uses the MCP6291 and
PIC16F690 to measure the capacitance
of a relative humidity sensor. The board
can also measure small capacitors in
different ranges of values using a dual
slope integration method. This board also supports the
application note AN1016.
Temperature Sensors
MCP9800 Temp Sensor Demo Board
(MCP9800DM-TS1)
The MCP9800 Temperature Sensor
Demo Board demonstrates the
sensor’s features. Users can connect
the demo board to a PC with USB
interface and evaluate the sensor
performance. The 7-Segment LED displays temperature in
degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit; the temperature
alert feature can be set by the users using an on board
potentiometer. An alert LED is used to indicate an over
temperature condition. In addition, temperature can be
data logged using the Microchip Thermal Management
Software Graphical User Interface (GUI). The sensor
registers can also be programmed using the GUI.
MCP6S26 PT100 RTD Evaluation Board
(TMPSNS-RTD1)
The PT100 RTD Evaluation Board
demonstrates how to bias a Resistive
Temperature Detector (RTD) and
accurately measure temperature.
Up to two RTDs can be connected.
The RTDs are biased using constant current source and
the output voltage is scaled using a difference amplifier.
In addition to the difference amplifier, a multiple input
channel Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) MCP6S26 is
used to digitally switch between RTDs and increase the
scale up to 32 times.
