EL8203IS-T7

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Overview

The EL8203IS-T7 is a dual-channel, high-speed operational amplifier manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation (formerly Intersil). It features a -3dB bandwidth of 500MHz and a slew rate of 600V/µs. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 3V to 5.5V with a low supply current of 5.6mA per channel. It provides rail-to-rail output swing and an input common-mode range extending to 0.15V below the negative supply rail. The component is housed in an 8-lead Small Outline package.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Feature Summary

• High-speed performance with 500MHz bandwidth and 600V/µs slew rate
• Low power consumption at 5.6mA per channel
• Input common-mode range extends 0.15V below the negative supply

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Applications

• Video amplifiers
• Portable and hand-held products
• Communications devices

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer date code and RoHS compliance status against the specific datasheet revision FN7106 Rev 2.00. Confirm that the 8-lead SO package matches the design footprint requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C aligns with the system environment specifications before finalizing procurement.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel amplifier requires wide bandwidth and rail-to-rail output within a low-voltage single-supply system. It is suitable for applications demanding low power consumption without sacrificing speed. Note that the EL8202 variant includes a disable pin; if power-down functionality is required, consider the EL8202 instead of the EL8203.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Part Context

The EL8203 belongs to the EL8202/EL8203/EL8403 family of 500MHz rail-to-rail amplifiers. While the EL8202 offers a disable feature and the EL8403 provides four channels, the EL8203 specifically delivers dual-channel performance in compact 8-lead SO or MSOP packages. This family is designed for general-purpose video, communication, instrumentation, and industrial applications.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Replacement Considerations

The datasheet explicitly states 'NO RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT' for this product line. Verify compatibility carefully if substituting with other high-speed op-amps, as pinouts and electrical characteristics may differ significantly.
