EL2245CS-T7

Overview

The EL2245CS-T7 is a high-speed operational amplifier manufactured by Elantec, now part of Renesas Electronics. It features a dual-channel architecture housed in an 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package. The device is characterized by a gain-bandwidth product of 100 MHz and a slew rate of 30 V/µs, enabling rapid signal processing for demanding analog applications. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 5V to 36V, providing flexibility in power design. The component supports rail-to-rail output swing, maximizing dynamic range within the supply limits.

Feature Summary

• High-speed performance with 100 MHz gain-bandwidth product
• Single-supply operation capability from 5V to 36V
• Rail-to-rail output voltage swing
• Low distortion characteristics suitable for precision audio

Applications

• Professional audio equipment and mixers
• Video buffering and signal conditioning
• Portable battery-powered devices requiring single-supply operation
• Active filters and signal processing circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer status as Elantec operations were acquired by Renesas. Confirm the specific suffix 'T7' indicates tape-and-reel packaging compatible with automated assembly processes. Ensure compatibility with RoHS directives if required by your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference datasheets for any revisions that may affect pinout or electrical specifications compared to older stock.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high bandwidth and low distortion are critical requirements. The rail-to-rail output makes it suitable for low-voltage single-supply systems where maximizing signal headroom is necessary. Consider the thermal dissipation capabilities of the SOIC-8 package for high-power applications. Verify that the input common-mode voltage range meets the specific circuit requirements relative to the supply rails.

Part Context

This component belongs to the family of high-performance operational amplifiers designed for analog signal processing. Originally developed by Elantec Semiconductor, the product line was integrated into Renesas Electronics following corporate acquisitions. These amplifiers are engineered to bridge the gap between general-purpose op-amps and specialized high-frequency devices, offering a balance of speed, power efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers: EL2245CSZ-T7 (Renesas equivalent). Other potential replacements include LMH6629 or OPA860 depending on specific performance constraints, though direct pin-for-pin substitution requires verification of electrical parameter overlaps.
