EL5525IRE

Special Purpose Regulators Overview

The EL5525IRE is an 18-channel LCD gamma buffer and TFT-LCD reference voltage generator manufactured by Renesas Electronics (formerly Intersil). Designed for high-performance display applications, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component utilizes surface-mount technology (SMD/SMT) installation and is classified under Amplifier ICs as an LCD Gamma Buffer. It features humidity sensitivity and carries the Renesas/Intersil trademark.

Special Purpose Regulators Feature Summary

• Provides 18-channel buffered output for precise LCD gamma correction
• Generates stable reference voltages required for TFT-LCD panel operation
• Supports surface-mount installation for compact circuit board integration

Special Purpose Regulators Applications

• TFT-LCD panel driver circuits requiring gamma correction
• High-resolution display systems needing multi-channel voltage generation
• Industrial or commercial monitor backlights with precision voltage control

Special Purpose Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as the product line may be discontinued or subject to obsolescence notices. Confirm package type compatibility during design-in. Check for official EOL notifications from Renesas Electronics prior to finalizing procurement plans to ensure supply chain continuity for production runs.

Special Purpose Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when designing displays requiring integrated gamma buffering without external discrete solutions. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C range. Verify that the SMD package fits the PCB footprint constraints. Consider end-of-life status if long-term production support is required.

Special Purpose Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the EL5525 series of LCD gamma buffers produced by Renesas Electronics, which acquired Intersil. The series is designed specifically for driving active matrix liquid crystal displays. Related variants include tape-and-reel versions such as EL5525IREZ-T7 and EL5525IREZ-T13, offering different packaging options for manufacturing flexibility.

Special Purpose Regulators Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible substitutes within the EL5525 family. Consult Renesas Electronics for officially recommended cross-reference parts. Verify functional equivalence for gamma buffer specifications before substitution.
