EL5256IY

Overview

The EL5256IY is a dual high-speed operational amplifier manufactured by Elantec Semiconductor. It features a gain bandwidth product of 210 MHz and a -3dB bandwidth of 600 MHz. The device exhibits a slew rate of 700V/μs and an input bias current of 400 nA. It is housed in a tube package configuration.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture for integrated signal processing
• High-speed performance with 600 MHz bandwidth
• Fast transient response capability

Applications

• Video signal amplification
• High-frequency analog circuit design
• Precision instrumentation systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation, as Renesas Technology Corp also lists this component. Confirm the specific suffix indicates the correct packaging type. Ensure the source document explicitly identifies Elantec as the original designer or current rights holder to avoid sourcing discrepancies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel operation is required alongside high slew rates. The 600 MHz bandwidth supports demanding video applications. Compare input bias current specifications against other dual op-amps if low offset drift is critical for the target application environment.

Part Context

Elantec Semiconductor specialized in analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits before being acquired by Renesas. This part belongs to their high-speed amplifier portfolio, designed for applications requiring fast settling times and wide bandwidths in compact packages.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives from Renesas or other manufacturers offering similar 600 MHz bandwidth and 700V/μs slew rate specifications. Verify package dimensions and electrical tolerances match the existing board layout constraints.
