EL5261IS

Overview

The EL5261IS is a high-speed current feedback amplifier manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It features a bandwidth of 200MHz and a slew rate of 1700V/µs, operating with a supply current of 0.75mA. The device supports single and dual supply voltages ranging from 5V to 10V. It is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• High-speed performance with 200MHz bandwidth
• Low power consumption at 0.75mA supply current
• Flexible operation on single or dual supplies

Applications

• High-speed video amplifiers
• Portable battery-powered equipment
• Cable drivers
• RGB amplifiers
• Test equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as the EL5261 series was originally developed by Elantec Semiconductor before being acquired by Intersil, which subsequently became part of Renesas Electronics. Confirm that the specific suffix 'IS' corresponds to the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and the 8-lead SOIC package type required for your design. Ensure compatibility with existing footprints if replacing older inventory.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high bandwidth and low power are critical constraints. The current feedback architecture provides consistent bandwidth regardless of gain settings, making it suitable for applications requiring fast signal transitions. Verify that the input common-mode voltage range and output swing requirements align with the system's supply rails.

Part Context

This amplifier belongs to a family of high-speed devices designed for video and signal processing applications. The EL5261 variant specifically offers an 8-lead SOIC package, distinguishing it from other pin-count options like the 5-lead SOT-23 (EL5161) or 10-lead MSOP (EL5260). These devices share core electrical characteristics but differ in physical footprint and thermal dissipation capabilities.
