EL2126C - Preliminary
Ultra-low Noise, Low Power, Wideband Amplifier
Features
General Description
• Voltage noise of only 1.3nV/ÖHz
• Current noise of only 1.2pA/ÖHz
• Low offset voltage £200µV
• 90MHz -3dB BW for AV=10
• Very low supply current -4.7mA
• SOT23 package
The EL2126C is an ultra-low noise, wideband amplifier that runs on
half the supply current of competitive parts. It is intended for use in
systems such as ultrasound imaging where a very small signal needs to
be amplified by a large amount without adding significant noise. Its
low power dissipation enables it to be packaged in the tiny SOT23
package, which further helps systems where many input channels cre-
ate both space and power dissipation problems.
• ±5V to ±15V operation
The EL2126C is stable for gains of 10 and greater and uses traditional
voltage feedback. This allows the use of reactive elements in the feed-
back loop, a common requirement for many filter topologies. It
operates from ±5V to ±15V supplies and is available in a 5-pin SOT23
package and 8-pin SO and 8-pin PDIP packages.
Applications
• Ultrasound input amplifiers
• Wideband instrumentation
• Communication equipment
• AGC & PLL active filters
• Wideband sensors
The EL2126C is fabricated in Elantec’s proprietary complementary
bipolar process, and is specified for operation over the full -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
