EL2142CS

Overview

The EL2142CS is a high-speed, low-power differential amplifier manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It features a single circuit configuration housed in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 6 V to 12.6 V and draws a typical supply current of 11 mA. Key electrical specifications include a gain bandwidth product of 200 MHz, a -3 dB bandwidth of 150 MHz, and a slew rate of 400 V/µs. It provides an output current of 60 mA per channel with an input bias current of 6 µA and an input offset voltage of 10 mV. The component is rated for operation across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-speed differential amplification suitable for demanding signal processing applications
• Features low power consumption characteristics optimized for battery-operated systems
• Delivers high output drive capability to support multiple loads or transmission lines

Applications

• Video signal processing circuits
• High-speed data acquisition systems
• Wireless communication infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation on the component marking, as production has transitioned from Intersil to Renesas Electronics Corporation. Confirm RoHS compliance status, noting that Pb-free variants are available but standard versions may not meet current environmental directives. Ensure the 8-SOIC package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel differential amplifier with high bandwidth and fast slew rate is required. Consider the 60 mA output current capability for driving low-impedance loads directly. Evaluate the 10 mV input offset voltage against system accuracy requirements. Verify that the operating supply voltage remains within the specified 6 V to 12.6 V range for optimal performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EL2142 family of high-speed differential amplifiers. The 'CS' suffix indicates the specific 8-SOIC surface-mount package variant. The device was originally introduced by Intersil Americas Inc. and is now managed under the Renesas Electronics Corporation portfolio following corporate acquisitions.
