Intersil Intros EL1517 Dual Operational Amplifier

Intersil Corp. (Milpitas, CA) introduced its new EL1517 dual operational amplifier, designed for VDSL and ADSL line driving in DMT based solutions, which features a high drive capability of 250 mA while consuming only 7 mA of supply current per amplifier, and operating from a single 5 V to 12 V supply.

The new driver achieves a typical distortion of -80 dBc, at 150 kHz into a 25 Ohm load. The EL1517 is available in the industry-standard eight-pin SO, the thermally-enhanced 16-pin QFN, and the 10-pin HMSOP packages. All are specified for operation over the full -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range. The 16-pin QFN and 10-pin HMSOP package options have control pins (C0 and C1) for controlling the bias and enable/disable of the outputs. The controls allow for lowering the power to fit the performance/power ratio for the application.
