Product Overview
The MCP6S26-I is a six-channel programmable gain amplifier (PGA) from Microchip Technology with SPI serial interface. This device provides selectable gains of +1, +2, +4, +5, +8, +10, +16, and +32 V/V through an SPI-compatible serial interface. Featuring 10 MHz bandwidth, low offset voltage, and rail-to-rail I/O, the MCP6S26-I is ideal for applications requiring multiple gain settings such as data acquisition systems, sensor interfaces, and industrial instrumentation.
