Softei & Microchip MCP6C02 Evaluation Board

Win a Microchip MCP6C02 Evaluation Board (ADM01104) from Softei and if you don’t win, receive a 20% off voucher, plus free shipping for one of these boards.

This board demonstrates the performance of Microchip’s MCP6C02 high-side current sense amplifier.

AEC-Q100 qualified, the MCP6C02 amplifier is offered in both a Grade 1 6-pin SOT-23 package and a Grade 0 8-pin 3x3 VDFN package. Delivering a maximum offset error of only 12 µV, the VDFN package offers the lowest offset voltage for any Grade 0 high-side current sense amplifier. Specified over a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C, its market-leading offset error allows the use of smaller value shunt resistors while also maintaining a high measurement resolution. This enables a more accurate and energy efficient current measurement solution for those applications exposed to extreme temperatures, like the motor within a vehicle’s water pump.

Microchip’s MCP6C02 device also features an on-chip EMI filter and a zero-drift architecture. The EMI filter helps provide added protection against high-frequency electrical interference, such as wireless hotspots and radio frequencies, while the self-correcting architecture brings increased accuracy to current measurement. Together these features enable developers to create higher performance solutions in a wide variety of applications, such as creating a current controlled feedback loop for a power supply or motor, monitoring and charging batteries, or monitoring current levels for safety reasons.

A load is supplied on the board for a convenient demonstration of the evaluation board. Supplying power and a load to the evaluation board will produce a small, measurable voltage drop across a shunt resistor on the evaluation board. This voltage drop is then amplified by the MCP6C02 on the board and outputted differentially at the test points: VOUT+ and VOUT- (TP1 and TP2).

Highlights

Using high-precision architectures enables superior DC performance, regardless of operating conditions
Low noise and additional EMI filtering on the inputs provide additional protection in electrically noisy environments
Small packages, such as leadless DFNs, are ideal for space-constrained designs
A wide operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C provides a robust solution even at extreme temperatures

Microchip Instrumentation Amplifier with mCAL Technology

The MCP6N11 and MCP6V2x Wheatstone Bridge Reference Design demonstrates the performance of Microchip's MCP6N11 instrumentation amplifier (INA) and a traditional three op amp INA using Microchip's MCP6V26 and MCP6V27 auto-zeroed op amps. The input signal comes from an RTD temperature sensor in a Wheatstone bridge. Real world interference is added to the bridge's output, to provide realistic performance comparisons. Data is gathered and displayed on a PC, for ease of use. The USB PIC® microcontroller and included Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides the means to configure the board and collect sample data.
