EL1516IYZ

Overview

The EL1516IYZ is a dual ultra-low noise voltage feedback operational amplifier manufactured by Renesas Electronics under the Intersil brand. It features a 128 V/us slew rate, 3 mV input offset voltage, and 9 uA input bias current. The device operates on supply voltages ranging from 2.5 V to 6 V per rail or 5 V to 12 V total. Input voltage noise density is 1.24 nV/sqrt Hz with input current noise of 1.5 pA/sqrt Hz. It consumes 14 mA of operating current and is housed in an MSOP-10 package for surface mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Dual channel architecture providing two independent low-noise amplifiers within a single compact package.
• Ultra-low noise performance characterized by minimal input voltage and current noise densities.
• High-speed signal processing capability supported by a high slew rate specification.

Applications

• Precision instrumentation requiring low noise floor
• Medical imaging signal conditioning
• Audio preamplifier circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors as availability may be limited. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official datasheets before integration. Ensure storage conditions account for moisture sensitivity levels specified in the manufacturing documentation to prevent package damage during soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel low-noise amplification is required in space-constrained designs. The MSOP-10 package offers a balance between thermal performance and board area efficiency. Consider the 14 mA quiescent current against power budget constraints. Verify that the 3 mV offset voltage meets system accuracy requirements without excessive calibration overhead.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EL1516A series of ultra-low noise operational amplifiers produced by Renesas/Intersil. The IYZ suffix indicates the MSOP-10 surface-mount package variant. This series is designed for applications demanding high fidelity signal amplification with minimal added noise interference.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same manufacturer family. Verify electrical parameter equivalence for slew rate, noise density, and supply voltage range before substitution.
