EL5171IS

Overview

The EL5171IS is a single-channel differential twisted-pair driver manufactured by Renesas Technology Corp, formerly Intersil. It features a 250MHz 3dB bandwidth and an 800V/µs slew rate. The device accepts a single-ended input and provides fully differential outputs with feedback. It operates on a single +5V or dual ±5V supply, drawing 8mA per channel. The package is SOIC-8 (SOP8,.25) with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Fully differential outputs and feedback for noise immunity
• Single-ended to differential signal conversion capability
• Low power consumption at 8mA per channel

Applications

• Twisted-pair driver
• Differential line driver
• VGA over twisted-pair transmission
• ADSL/HDSL driver

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Renesas Technology Corp or Intersil on the component marking. Confirm the suffix 'IS' indicates the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 85°C) and SOIC-8 package. Ensure RoHS compliance status matches project requirements, noting that Pb-free versions are available.

Selection Notes

Select this component when driving analog signals over twisted-pair lines in noisy environments. It is suitable for applications requiring single-ended to differential amplification. Consider the 250MHz bandwidth and 800V/µs slew rate for high-speed video or data transmission needs.

Part Context

The EL5171 belongs to a family of differential twisted-pair drivers including the triple-channel EL5371. These devices are designed for component video applications and general-purpose differential line driving. The series offers low distortion and high output current capabilities.
