EL2386

250MHz Triple Current Feedback Amplifier with Disable

DATASHEET

The EL2386 is a triple current-feedback operational amplifier

which achieves a -3dB bandwidth of 250MHz at a gain of +1

while consuming only 3mA of supply current per amplifier. It

will operate with dual supplies ranging from ±1.5V to ±6V, or

from single supplies ranging from +3V to +12V. The EL2386

also includes a disable/power-down feature which reduces

current consumption to 0mA while placing the amplifier

output in a high impedance state. In spite of its low supply

current, the EL2386 can output 55mA while swinging to ±4V

on ±5V supplies. These attributes make the EL2386 an

excellent choice for low power and/or low voltage cable-

driver, HDSL, or RGB applications.

For single and dual applications, consider the EL2186/

EL2286. For single, dual, and quad applications without

disable, consider the EL2180, EL2280, or EL2480, all in

industry-standard pinouts. The EL2180 also is available in

the tiny SOT-23 package, which is 28% the size of an SO8

package. For lower power applications where speed is still a

concern, consider the EL2170/EL2176 family which also

comes in similar single, dual, and quad configurations. The

EL2170/EL2176 family provides a -3dB bandwidth of 70MHz

while consuming 1mA of supply current per amplifier.

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free products employ special Pb-free material

sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin

plate termination finish, which is compatible with both SnPb and

Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil Pb-free products are MSL

classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed

the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J Std-020B.
