DESIGN TOOLS

Microchip provides the basic design tools needed for

the MCP601/2/3/4 family of op amps.

4.1

SPICE Macro Model

The latest SPICE macro model of the MCP601/2/3/4 op

amps is available on Microchip’s web site 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

SPICE model firmware 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 specs and plots.

4.2

FilterLab® 2.0

FilterLab® 2.0 is an innovative software tool that

simplifies analog active-filter (using op amps) design.

Available at no cost from Microchip’s web site at

www.microchip.com, the FilterLab active-filter software

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.
