EL4332CS

Overview

The EL4332CS is a triple very high speed 2:1 Multiplexer-Amplifier manufactured by Elantec Semiconductor. It features an internally fixed gain of 2, facilitating the driving of back-terminated cables without external components. The device provides simultaneous switching of all three amplifiers from A to B inputs via a TTL/CMOS compatible common control pin. Key electrical specifications include a 300 MHz bandwidth, a 3 ns A-B switching time, and a slew rate exceeding 650 V/µs.

Feature Summary

• Triple channel architecture with integrated 2:1 multiplexing capability
• Internally set fixed voltage gain of 2 for simplified circuit design
• Simultaneous input switching controlled by a single common pin

Applications

• Component video multiplexing
• RGB signal multiplexing
• Picture-in-picture processing
• HDTV signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as Intersil acquired Elantec. Confirm package details match PDSO16 requirements. Ensure supply chain documentation aligns with Renesas or Intersil standards if applicable. Check RoHS compliance status against current regulatory needs. Validate that the specific suffix corresponds to the lead-free SO-16 variant.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed pixel switching or video multiplexing is required. The internal gain of 2 reduces external component count compared to discrete amplifier solutions. Ensure the application supports the specified 300 MHz bandwidth and 3 ns switching speed. Verify power supply constraints align with the device's operational limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EL4332 family of video multiplexer-amplifiers. It is designed for applications requiring rapid signal routing between multiple sources. The device integrates three independent channels into a single package, optimizing board space for video processing systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the EL4332C and EL4332CS variants from Elantec or Intersil. Cross-reference with Renesas Technology Corp listings for equivalent functionality. Verify pin compatibility before substitution.
