The EL5x02 and EL5x03 families represent high-speed
VFAs based on a CFA amplifier architecture. This gives the
typical high slew rate benefits of a CFA family along with the
stability and ease of use associated with the VFA type
architecture. With slew rates of 3500V/μs, this family of
devices enables the use of voltage feedback amplifiers in a
space where the only alternative has been current feedback
amplifiers. This family will also be available in single, dual,
and triple versions, with 200MHz, 400MHz, and 750MHz
versions. These are all available in single, dual, and triple
versions.
Both families operate on single 5V or ±5V supplies from
minimum supply current. EL5x02 also features an output
enable function, which can be used to put the output in to a
high-impedance mode. This enables the outputs of multiple
amplifiers to be tied together for use in multiplexing
applications.
Typical applications for these families will include cable
driving, filtering, A/D and D/A buffering, multiplexing and
summing within video, communications, and instrumentation
designs.
