EL1511CLZ-T7

Overview

The EL1511CLZ-T7 is a high-speed, low-power video amplifier manufactured by Elantec Semiconductor. It features a single operational amplifier channel housed in an 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package. The device is designed for applications requiring wide bandwidth and fast settling times, such as video signal processing. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 18V and supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical parameters include a unity-gain bandwidth of 120MHz and a slew rate of 130V/µs. The component is supplied in tape and reel packaging with a factory quantity of 1000 units.

Feature Summary

• High-speed performance with 120MHz unity-gain bandwidth
• Low power consumption suitable for portable applications
• Wide single-supply voltage operation capability
• Fast settling time for accurate video signal reproduction

Applications

• Video buffering and amplification
• Active filtering in video circuits
• ADC driver stages
• Signal conditioning for display interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer status as Elantec Semiconductor has undergone corporate changes, including acquisition by Intersil and subsequently Renesas Electronics. Confirm that the specific part number EL1511CLZ-T7 corresponds to the original Elantec specifications rather than a modern equivalent with altered characteristics. Check for end-of-life notifications or obsolescence notices from current distributors before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, high-bandwidth video amplifier is required in an 8-pin SOIC package. Ensure the application demands a slew rate of at least 130V/µs and a bandwidth of 120MHz. Verify that the operating environment falls within the specified industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Consider the 2V to 18V supply voltage range to ensure compatibility with the system power rails.

Part Context

The EL1511 series belongs to the family of high-speed video operational amplifiers designed by Elantec Semiconductor. These devices were widely used in analog video equipment before the company's integration into larger semiconductor entities. The EL1511CLZ variant specifically denotes the commercial/industrial temperature grade and the lead-free RoHS-compliant plastic SOIC package. This model represents a standard solution for mid-range video signal processing tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may be difficult due to the brand history. Potential equivalents include the EL2044CSZ or other Intersil/Renesas video amplifiers with similar pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specs against the original datasheet before substitution.
