EL8201ISZ

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Overview

The EL8201ISZ is a dual-channel, rail-to-rail operational amplifier manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation (formerly Intersil). It features a -3dB bandwidth of 200MHz and a slew rate of 200V/µs. The device operates on supply voltages ranging from 3V to 5.5V with a low supply current of 2mA per channel. Inputs extend to 0.15V below the negative supply rail. It is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package and specified for operation over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Feature Summary

• Rail-to-rail output capability
• High-speed performance with 200MHz bandwidth
• Low power consumption at 2mA per channel
• Extended input voltage range near negative rail

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Applications

• Video amplifiers
• Portable and hand-held products
• Communications devices
• General purpose instrumentation

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ISZ corresponds to the 8-lead MSOP package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status as the component family supports lead-free options. Check manufacturer archives for current production status, as older Intersil/Renesas components may have transitioned to obsolete or not recommended for new design statuses.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high slew rates and wide bandwidth in compact packages. Ensure the system supply voltage remains within the 3V to 5.5V range. Consider the 2mA per channel quiescent current for battery-powered designs. Verify that the input signal does not exceed the extended common-mode range limits relative to the negative rail.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Part Context

The EL8201 belongs to the EL820x series of high-speed amplifiers, which also includes the single-channel EL8200 and quad-channel EL8401. This family was originally developed by Intersil before its acquisition by Renesas. The series is designed for general-purpose video and communication applications requiring fast transient response and low power dissipation in small surface-mount packages.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the EL8200 (single channel) or EL8401 (quad channel) if pin count allows redesign. Cross-reference with other 200MHz rail-to-rail amplifiers from manufacturers like Analog Devices or Texas Instruments, ensuring package compatibility and electrical parameter matching.
