EL5166ISZ

Overview

The EL5166ISZ is a single-channel current feedback amplifier manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package. The device features an integrated enable function for power management. Key electrical specifications include a bandwidth of 1.4 GHz, a slew rate of 6 kV/µs, and an input bias voltage of 500 µV. It supports supply voltages between 5 V and 12 V, drawing 8.5 mA of operating current while delivering up to 160 mA of output current per channel.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a dedicated enable pin to control amplifier operation and reduce power consumption during inactive periods.
• Utilizes current feedback architecture to achieve high-speed signal processing with minimal settling time.
• Provides robust output drive capability suitable for demanding video and RF applications.

Applications

• High-speed video buffering and distribution
• RF signal conditioning circuits
• Test and measurement equipment front-ends

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Renesas documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel configuration. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your region. Check for moisture sensitivity level (MSL) ratings to determine proper storage and handling procedures before soldering. Confirm availability status as product lifecycles may change.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high bandwidth and fast transient response are critical. The current feedback topology offers consistent performance regardless of gain settings. Consider the enable feature if system power efficiency is a priority. Verify that the 160 mA output current meets load requirements. Compare against voltage feedback alternatives if lower noise density is required over raw speed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EL5166 series of high-speed operational amplifiers from Renesas. The series includes variants with different packages such as SOT-23-6 and SOIC-8. These amplifiers are designed for applications requiring wide bandwidth and high slew rates. The EL5166ISZ specifically denotes the industrial temperature grade and SOIC-8 packaging option.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for compatible parts. Direct replacements must match the current feedback architecture and pinout. Verify that alternative components support the same 1.4 GHz bandwidth and 160 mA output current. Ensure thermal and mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts.
