EL8401IS

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Overview

The EL8401IS is a quad-channel general-purpose operational amplifier manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, formerly Elantec. It features a -3dB bandwidth of 200 MHz and a slew rate of 200V/µs. The device operates on supply voltages ranging from 3V to 5.5V with a typical supply current of 2mA per channel. Key electrical parameters include an input bias current of 1.6 µA, input offset voltage of 800 µV, and output current capability of 65 mA per channel. It utilizes a 14-SOIC package and supports operation temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity as the EL8401IS is listed as obsolete or not recommended for new designs. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as some sources indicate non-compliance while datasheets mention Pb-free availability. Ensure the 14-SOIC package matches design requirements and check for valid replacement options due to end-of-life status.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Selection Notes

Select this component for high-speed, low-power analog signal processing where rail-to-rail output is required. Consider the 200MHz bandwidth for video and communication signals. Evaluate thermal management within the -40°C to +85°C operating range. Verify that the 14-SOIC footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Part Context

The EL8401IS belongs to the EL8401 series of 200MHz rail-to-rail amplifiers, alongside the dual-channel EL8201 and single-channel EL8200. Manufactured by Renesas (formerly Elantec), these amplifiers are designed for general-purpose video, communication, instrumentation, and industrial applications. The series shares common specifications including 200V/µs slew rate and low supply current.
