EL2126CS

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Overview

The EL2126CS is an ultra-low noise, wideband operational amplifier manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation in an 8-lead SOIC package. It operates from ±2.5V to ±15V supplies with a typical supply current of 4.7mA at ±5V and 56mA at ±15V. The device features a voltage noise spectral density of 1.3nV/√Hz and a current noise of 1.2pA/√Hz. At a gain of 10, the -3dB bandwidth reaches 100MHz at ±5V and 135MHz at ±15V. The input offset voltage is specified at a maximum of 2mV at ±5V and 3mV at ±15V. Slew rates range from 80V/µs to 150V/µs depending on supply voltage.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status as standard versions may differ from Pb-free variants. Check datasheet revision dates against manufacturing lot codes to ensure specification alignment. Validate package markings match the specific ordering suffix requirements for your assembly process.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Selection Notes

Select this component when system design requires minimal signal degradation in high-frequency applications. Ensure feedback resistor values are chosen carefully to maintain phase margin and prevent peaking. Verify that the operating temperature range aligns with the specified -40°C to +85°C limits. Consider thermal dissipation capabilities relative to the PCB layout and ambient conditions during continuous operation.
