EL8201IS

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Overview

The Intersil EL8201IS is a dual-channel, high-speed operational amplifier featuring rail-to-rail output capability. It delivers a -3dB bandwidth of 200MHz and a slew rate of 200V/µs while consuming only 2mA per channel. The device operates on supply voltages ranging from 3V to 5.5V and supports input signals extending to 0.15V below the negative supply rail. Designed for general-purpose video, communication, instrumentation, and industrial applications, it is available in an 8-lead SOIC package and specified for operation over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IS' against official Renesas documentation to confirm the package type (typically 8-lead SOIC) and commercial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts for 8-lead surface-mount packages. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by current manufacturing standards. Cross-reference part numbers with Renesas legacy product lists due to Intersil's acquisition history.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel amplification with rail-to-rail output is required in space-constrained designs. It is suitable for applications demanding high bandwidth and fast transient response without excessive power consumption. Consider the 8-lead SOIC or MSOP package options based on PCB real estate constraints. Verify that the input common-mode voltage range meets the system requirements near the negative rail.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Part Context

The EL8201 belongs to the EL820x family of high-speed amplifiers manufactured by Intersil, which is now part of Renesas Electronics. This series includes single, dual, and quad-channel variants designed for efficient power usage and high performance. The EL8201 specifically provides two channels in compact packages, bridging the gap between single-channel efficiency and quad-channel density for versatile circuit design.
