EL2180CS

Overview

The EL2180CS is a single-channel current-feedback operational amplifier manufactured by Intersil. It achieves a -3dB bandwidth of 250MHz at a gain of +1 while consuming 3mA of supply current per amplifier. The device operates with dual supplies ranging from ±1.5V to ±6V, or single supplies from +3V to +12V. It is housed in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• High-speed current feedback architecture providing 250MHz bandwidth
• Low power consumption of 3mA per amplifier
• Flexible operation with single or dual power supplies down to ±1.5V

Applications

• Video signal processing circuits
• High-speed data acquisition systems
• Broadband communication interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CS' indicates the 8-SOIC package variant. Confirm manufacturer lineage as Intersil or Renesas Electronics. Ensure datasheet FN7053 or equivalent is referenced for electrical characteristics. Check for RoHS compliance status if required for the target assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high slew rate and wide bandwidth are critical alongside moderate power constraints. Compare against the EL2170 family for lower current needs (1mA) but reduced speed (70MHz). Consider the EL2280C or EL2480C if dual or quad channel configurations are required instead of a single unit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EL2180/EL2186 family of current-feedback amplifiers designed for applications requiring high speed without excessive power draw. It complements the lower-speed EL2170 series and offers a single-channel solution compared to the dual EL2280 or quad EL2480 variants within the same performance class.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes include the EL2280C for dual-channel requirements or the EL2480C for quad-channel needs. For lower power applications where speed is less critical, the EL2170 series may be considered. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution.
