DESIGN TOOLS

Microchip provides the basic design tools needed for

the MCP6001/2/4 family of op amps.

4.1

SPICE Macro Model

The latest Spice macro model for the MCP6001/2/4

operational amplifiers (op amps) is available on our

website at www.microchip.com. This model is intended

as an initial design tool that works well in the op amp’s

linear region of operation at room temperature. See the

model file for information on its capabilities.

Bench testing is a very important part of any design and

cannot be replaced with simulations. Also, simulation

results using this macro model need to be validated by

comparing them to the data sheet specifications and

characteristic curves.

4.2

FilterLab® Software

FilterLab is an innovative software tool that simplifies

analog active filter (using op amps) design. Available at

no cost from our website at www.microchip.com, the

FilterLab software active filter software design tool pro-

vides full schematic diagrams of the filter circuit with

component values. It also outputs the filter circuit in

SPICE format, which can be used with the macro

model to simulate actual filter performance.
