With this family of operational amplifiers, the power
supply pin (V
bypass capacitor (i.e., 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF) within 2 mm
for good high-frequency performance. It also needs a
bulk capacitor (i.e., 1 µF or larger) within 100 mm to
provide large, slow currents. This bulk capacitor can be
shared with other parts.

In applications where low input bias current is critical,
printed circuit board (PCB) surface leakage effects
need to be considered. Surface leakage is caused by
humidity, dust or other contamination on the board.
Under low humidity conditions, a typical resistance
between nearby traces is 10
cause 5 pA, if current-to-flow, which is greater than the
MCP6291/2/3/4/5 family’s bias current at 25°C (1 pA,
typ).
The easiest way to reduce surface leakage is to use a
guard ring around sensitive pins (or traces). The guard
ring is biased at the same voltage as the sensitive pin.
An example of this type of layout is shown in
Figure 3-7.

The MCP6291/2/3/4/5 op amp can be used in active-
filter applications. Figure 3-8 shows an inverting, third-
order, multiple feedback low-pass filter that can be
used as an anti-aliasing filter.

This filter, and others, can be designed using

Figure 3-9 shows a photo diode biased in the photo-
voltaic mode for high precision. The resistor R
converts the diode current I
capacitor is used to limit the bandwidth or to stabilize
the circuit against the diode’s capacitance (it is not
always needed).
