EL5146CN

Overview

The EL5146CN is a single-channel voltage feedback operational amplifier manufactured by Elantec. It features rail-to-rail input and output capabilities, allowing operation with a single power supply. The device is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package. It is designed for applications requiring high performance in signal conditioning and instrumentation circuits.

Feature Summary

• Rail-to-rail input and output functionality
• Single-supply operation capability
• Voltage feedback architecture

Applications

• Signal conditioning circuits
• Instrumentation systems
• Buffer amplifiers

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Elantec or Renesas Technology Corp, as historical records may vary. Confirm the package type is 8-PDIP. Ensure the datasheet matches the specific revision for electrical characteristics. Cross-reference part numbers to distinguish from similar models like EL5144.

Selection Notes

Select this component when rail-to-rail performance is required on a single supply. It serves as a buffer or amplifier in precision analog paths. Consider the PDIP package for through-hole mounting requirements. Verify compatibility with the intended signal bandwidth and supply voltage range.

Part Context

Elantec Semiconductor was acquired by Intersil, which later merged with Renesas Electronics. The EL5146 series belongs to a family of high-performance analog amplifiers. This specific model represents a single-channel variant within that portfolio, maintaining legacy design specifications for industrial and commercial use.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible substitutes such as the EL5144 if dual channels are not required. Verify electrical parameters against current production versions from Renesas. Ensure package integrity matches the 8-PDIP form factor.
