DESIGN AIDS

Microchip provides the basic design aids needed for

the MCP660/1/2/3/4/5/9 family of op amps.

5.1

SPICE Macro Model

The

latest

SPICE

macro

model

for

the

MCP660/1/2/3/4/5/9 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 linear region of operation over the temperature

range of the op amp. 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

FilterLab® Software

Microchip’s FilterLab® software is an innovative

software tool that simplifies analog active filter (using

op amps) design. Available at no cost from the

Microchip web site at www.microchip.com/filterlab, 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.

5.3

Microchip Advanced Part Selector

(MAPS)

MAPS is a software tool that helps efficiently identify

Microchip devices that fit a particular design

requirement. Available at no cost from the Microchip

web site at www.microchip.com/maps, the MAPS is an

overall selection tool for Microchip’s product portfolio

that includes Analog, Memory, MCUs and DSCs. Using

this tool, a filter can be defined to sort features for a

parametric search of device and export side-by-side

technical comparison reports. Helpful links are also

provided for data sheets, purchase and sampling of

Microchip parts.

5.4

Analog Demonstration and

Evaluation Boards

Microchip offers a broad spectrum of analog

demonstration and evaluation boards that are

designed to help customers achieve faster time to

market. For a complete listing of these boards and their

corresponding user’s guides and technical information,
