Microchip provides the basic design aids needed for
the MCP6031/2/3/4 family of op amps.
5.1
The latest SPICE macro model for the MCP6031/2/3/4
op amps is available on the Microchip web site at
www.microchip.com. This model is intended to be an
initial design tool that works well in the op amp’s linear
region of operation over the temperature range. 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.
5.2
Microchip’s FilterLab
software tool that simplifies analog active filter (using
op amps) design. Available at no cost from the Micro-
chip web site at www.microchip.com/filterlab, the Filter-
Lab design tool provides 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.
5.3
Microchip’s Mindi
of various circuits useful for active filter, amplifier and
power-management applications. It is a free online
simulation tool available from the Microchip web site at
www.microchip.com/mindi. This interactive simulator
enables designers to quickly generate circuit diagrams,
simulate circuits. Circuits developed using the Mindi
simulation tool can be downloaded to a personal com-
puter or workstation.
5.4
MAPS is a software tool that helps semiconductor
professionals efficiently identify Microchip devices that
fit a particular design requirement. Available at no cost
from the Microchip website at www.microchip.com/
maps, the MAPS is an overall selection tool for Micro-
chip’s product portfolio that includes Analog, Memory,
MCUs and DSCs. Using this tool you can define a filter
to sort features for a parametric search of devices and
export side-by-side technical comparasion reports.
Helpful links are also provided for Datasheets, Pur-
chase, and Sampling of Microchip parts.
