EL8173IS

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Overview

The EL8173IS is a micropower, single-supply instrumentation amplifier manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation (formerly Intersil). It is optimized for operation with a single power supply voltage ranging from +2.4V to +5.5V. The device features rail-to-rail input and output capabilities, allowing it to handle signals close to the supply rails effectively. Designed for low-power applications, it maintains high performance while minimizing energy consumption, making it suitable for battery-operated systems.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation, as Intersil was acquired by Renesas. Confirm the specific suffix 'IS' indicates the industrial temperature grade if required by your design specifications. Ensure the package type matches your PCB layout constraints before ordering.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage, single-supply instrumentation amplifier with rail-to-rail I/O is required. It is appropriate for designs prioritizing low quiescent current and wide common-mode input range relative to the supply rails. Consider thermal dissipation requirements based on the selected package option.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Part Context

This part belongs to the family of micropower instrumentation amplifiers originally developed by Intersil. Following Renesas Electronics' acquisition of Intersil's assets, these products are now managed under the Renesas portfolio. The EL8173 series provides precision amplification for low-level signals in resource-constrained environments.
