EL4331CSZ-T7

Overview

The EL4331CSZ-T7 is a triple 2:1 multiplexer amplifier manufactured by Intersil, now part of Renesas. It integrates three independent video amplifiers within a single package, each configured with a fixed voltage gain of unity (AV = 1). The device utilizes a 16-pin Plastic Small Outline (SOIC) surface-mount package, specifically identified as PDSO16 with a standard 0.150-inch body width. Designed for lead-free compliance, it supports operation in commercial environments and is suitable for applications requiring compact integration of multiple signal routing functions.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three independent 2-to-1 multiplexer amplifier channels
• Provides fixed unity voltage gain for each channel
• Utilizes a lead-free 16-pin SOIC surface-mount package

Applications

• Video signal routing systems
• Multi-channel video distribution networks
• Compact video processing equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as Intersil operations were acquired by Renesas Electronics. Confirm that the specific suffix 'T7' corresponds to the required tape-and-reel packaging configuration rather than tube packaging, which may be designated by different suffixes such as 'T13'. Ensure the component meets RoHS standards if environmental compliance is a project requirement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires three separate video signal paths with multiplexing capabilities in a minimal footprint. The fixed unity gain specification makes it ideal for buffering or switching signals without amplitude alteration. Consider the 16-pin SOIC package constraints regarding board space and thermal dissipation compared to larger packages.

Part Context

This component belongs to the EL433x series of video multiplexer amplifiers from Intersil. The series typically includes variants like the EL4332, which features three video amplifiers but lacks the multiplexer functionality found in the EL4331. These devices are designed for high-speed video applications requiring reliable signal integrity and low distortion.
