Elantec Semiconductor Introduces the EL2227C and EL2228C
Elantec Semiconductor Inc. (Milpitas, CA) introduced two new dual, low-noise operational amplifiers. The EL2227C and EL2228C are suitable for use in telecommunications and medical-imaging applications.
The EL2227C has a voltage-noise specification of 1.9nV/rt-Hz and a current noise specification of 1.2pA/rt-Hz. It features a bandwidth of 115MHz and has a minimum gain of two. The EL2228C is specified with a voltage noise of 4.9nV/rt-Hz, a current noise of 1.2pA/rt-Hz, 90MHz bandwidth and is suitable for applications with a minimum gain of one. Both amplifiers operate on supplies from +/-2.5V to +/-12V.
Michael Jennings, director of strategic marketing for video and amplifier products, commented, "These new op amps continue Elantec's commitment to the general-purpose amplifier market. They are defined for a segment of that market where we previously have had no offerings. We have developed products in this category because there is synergy between this market segment and our ASSP target markets. We believe these op amps will find many applications, not only for communications and imaging applications but in a whole range of sensor and weak-signal amplification designs."
The EL2227C and EL2228C are priced at $2.13 in 1,000-piece quantities. Both are available in the eight-pin SOIC and the eight-pin MSOP packages.
