EL2386CS-T7

Overview

The EL2386CS-T7 is a triple current-feedback operational amplifier in a 16-pin SO package. It achieves a -3dB bandwidth of 250MHz at a gain of +1 with 3mA supply current per amplifier. Operating on dual supplies from ±1.5V to ±6V or single supplies from +3V to +12V, it features a disable function reducing consumption to 0mA. The device outputs 55mA while swinging to ±4V on ±5V supplies.

Feature Summary

• Triple amplifier topology with low power consumption
• High-speed performance with 250MHz bandwidth
• Integrated disable and power-down capability
• Large output drive current capability

Applications

• Low power/battery applications
• HDSL amplifiers
• Video amplifiers
• Cable drivers
• RGB amplifiers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix T7 indicates a 7-inch tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the component meets Pb-free material requirements if necessary for your assembly process. Ensure the 16-pin SO package dimensions align with your printed circuit board layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high bandwidth and low power are required simultaneously. The current-feedback architecture maintains consistent bandwidth across different closed-loop gains. Consider the disable feature for multiplexing applications where zero standby current is critical. Evaluate thermal dissipation if driving heavy loads near absolute maximum ratings.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EL2386 series of triple current-feedback amplifiers. Related variants include the EL2186 (single) and EL2286 (dual). Non-power-down versions like the EL2180, EL2280, and EL2480 are available. Lower power alternatives exist in the EL2170/EL2176 family offering 70MHz bandwidth.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the EL2186 and EL2286 for single and dual channel needs respectively. For non-disable versions, consider the EL2180, EL2280, or EL2480. The EL2170/EL2176 family serves as a lower power alternative.
