EL5178ISZ-T7

Overview

The EL5178ISZ-T7 is a high-bandwidth differential amplifier manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, part of the EL5178 series. It features a 700 MHz -3dB bandwidth and supports fully differential inputs, outputs, and feedback. The device operates on single 5V or dual ±5V supplies with a maximum output current of 60 mA per channel. It includes low power consumption at 12.5 mA per channel and offers short-circuit protection for temporary overload conditions.

Feature Summary

• Supports fully differential input, output, and feedback configurations for signal integrity
• Provides differential input range of ±2.3V for flexible signal interfacing
• Features short-circuit protection to withstand temporary overload conditions

Applications

• Driving twisted-pair lines in component video applications
• Transmission of analog signals in noisy environments
• Single-ended to differential amplification

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix T7 indicates tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation as lead-free variants exist within the series. Check current lifecycle status as older Intersil/Renesas components may be subject to discontinuation notices. Ensure moisture sensitivity level requirements are met during storage and handling procedures.

Selection Notes

Select this component when driving differential loads over twisted pairs requiring high bandwidth up to 700 MHz. Suitable for applications needing low distortion and short-circuit protection. Compare against EL5378 if triple-channel capability is required instead of single-channel. Verify supply voltage compatibility with single 5V or dual ±5V rails before integration into the design.

Part Context

The EL5178 series consists of high-speed differential drivers originally developed by Intersil and now managed by Renesas Electronics. These amplifiers are designed for video and data transmission applications where signal fidelity over differential lines is critical. The ISZ package variant denotes an SOIC-8 surface-mount option suitable for automated assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

EL5378 provides similar performance but with three channels instead of one.
