5.0 DESIGN TOOLS
Microchip provides the basic design tools needed for
the MCP6241/2/4 family of op amps.
5.1 SPICE Macro Model
The latest SPICE macro model for the MCP6241/2/4 op
amps is available on our 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 at room temperature. See the macro
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 FilterLab^® Software
Microchip’s FilterLab software is an innovative tool that
simplifies analog active-filter (using op amps) design.
Available at no cost from our web site at
www.microchip.com, the FilterLab 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.
