EL2126

Ultra-Low Noise, Low Power, Wideband

Amplifier

The EL2126 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 SOT-23

package, which further helps systems where many input

channels create both space and power dissipation problems.

The EL2126 is stable for gains of 10 and greater and uses

traditional voltage feedback. This allows the use of reactive

elements in the feedback loop, a common requirement for

many filter topologies. It operates from ±2.5V to ±15V

supplies and is available in the 5-pin SOT-23 and 8-pin SO

packages.

The EL2126 is fabricated in Elantec’s proprietary

complementary bipolar process, and is specified for

operation over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

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

molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin plate

termination finish, which are RoHS compliant and 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-020.
