EL2286CS

Overview

The EL2286CS is a dual current-feedback operational amplifier manufactured by Intersil. It features two independent circuits housed in a 14-SOIC package. The device achieves a -3dB bandwidth of 250MHz at a gain of +1 and provides a slew rate of 1200V/μs. It operates on a single supply voltage with a typical quiescent current of 3mA per amplifier. The component supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual channel configuration for independent signal processing
• High-speed current-feedback architecture for wide bandwidth
• Low power consumption with minimal quiescent current draw

Applications

• Video signal buffering and amplification
• High-frequency analog signal conditioning
• Broadband communication equipment front-ends

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., CS) against the required package type, as variations exist. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation, as manufacturing processes may change. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle status updates directly from Renesas or Intersil channels before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel high-speed amplification is required without the complexity of voltage-feedback limitations. Ensure the application benefits from the 250MHz bandwidth and 1200V/μs slew rate. Verify that the 14-SOIC package fits the PCB layout constraints and thermal requirements of the design.

Part Context

The EL2286CS belongs to the EL2186/EL2286 family of current-feedback operational amplifiers. This series is designed for applications requiring fast transient response and wide bandwidth. The dual version offers cost and space advantages over using two single-channel units in compact electronic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements within the same Intersil/Renesas portfolio. Verify electrical parameters such as bandwidth and slew rate match the original design requirements before substituting.
