EL5160IS

Overview

The EL5160IS is a single-channel, low-power current feedback operational amplifier manufactured by Elantec (now Renesas). It features a bandwidth of 200 MHz and a slew rate of 1700 V/µs. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 5 V to 10 V with a typical supply current of 750 µA. Key electrical parameters include an input offset voltage of 1.6 mV, input bias current of 5 µA, and a common-mode rejection ratio of 50 dB. It is housed in an 8-SOIC package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• High-speed performance with 200 MHz bandwidth and 1700 V/µs slew rate for rapid signal processing
• Low power consumption design drawing only 750 µA supply current
• Current feedback architecture providing stable operation without gain-bandwidth trade-offs
• Compact 8-SOIC surface-mount packaging for space-constrained applications

Applications

• Video signal buffering and amplification
• High-frequency data acquisition systems
• RF signal conditioning circuits
• Test and measurement instrumentation front-ends

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., ISZ) against the original EL5160IS specification, as manufacturing transitions may affect pinout or electrical tolerances. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for End-of-Life notices from Renesas Electronics. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for this discontinued component series.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high slew rate and wide bandwidth are required alongside low power constraints. The current feedback topology is preferred over voltage feedback for applications demanding fast settling times. Verify that the 5 V minimum supply voltage aligns with the system power rails and that the 8-SOIC footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

The EL5160 belongs to the Elantec family of 200 MHz low-power current feedback amplifiers. This series includes variants like the EL5161 and EL5260, designed for high-performance analog signal processing. Elantec was acquired by Intersil, which later merged with Renesas Electronics, making these parts part of the broader Renesas linear amplifier portfolio.

FAQ

What is the difference between the EL5160IS and EL5160ISZ?

The EL5160ISZ is the RoHS-compliant version of the EL5160IS. Both share identical electrical specifications and pinouts, but the 'Z' suffix indicates compliance with environmental regulations regarding restricted substances.

Does the EL5160IS have a shutdown feature?

No, the standard EL5160IS does not include a dedicated shutdown pin or function. It remains active whenever power is applied within the specified operating range.
