EL2141CS-T13

Overview

The EL2141CS-T13 is a high-bandwidth differential amplifier designed for driving twisted pair lines and noisy environments. It features fully differential inputs, outputs, and feedback with a stable minimum gain of two. The device operates on ±5V supplies or +6V single supply, providing a 150MHz -3dB bandwidth and an 800V/µs slew rate. It delivers a minimum output current of 50mA into a 200Ω load, with short-circuit protection on both outputs.

Feature Summary

• Fully differential input, output, and feedback architecture
• Adjustable voltage gain starting from a stable minimum of two
• Integrated short circuit protection on both output pins
• Low power consumption with typical supply current of 11mA

Applications

• Twisted pair driver
• ADSL/HDSL driver
• Single ended to differential amplification
• Transmission of analog signals in a noisy environment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix T13 against manufacturer documentation to confirm tape and reel packaging requirements. Ensure the component meets the recommended operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Confirm that the ordering information matches the exact package type and thermal specifications required for the target application design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fully differential output is required with adjustable gain capabilities. The EL2141 differs from the EL2140 by allowing user-defined gain settings via external feedback resistors. It is suitable for applications requiring low distortion and high common-mode rejection ratios in differential signaling environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EL2140/EL2141 family of 150MHz differential twisted pair drivers manufactured by Intersil (now Renesas). The EL2141 variant specifically provides configurable gain through dedicated feedback inputs, whereas the EL2140 maintains a fixed gain of two. Both share identical pinouts and core performance characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

The EL2140 serves as a functional substitute if a fixed gain of two is acceptable. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 8-pin SOIC package and supports the required differential signal processing specifications.
