5.0 DESIGN AIDS
Microchip provides the basic design aids needed for
the MCP6N16 instrumentation amplifiers.
5.1 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
website 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 customer can define a filter to sort features
for a parametric search of devices and export
side-by-side technical comparison reports. Helpful links
are also provided for Data sheets, Purchase and
Sampling of Microchip parts.
5.2 Analog Demonstration Board
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, visit the Microchip web site at
www.microchip.com/analog tools.
