Six new differential amplifiers are designed to drive video and other analogue signals. The six new parts are the latest additions to Intersil's rapidly expanding high-speed operational amplifier portfolio. The Elantec EL537x family includes the EL5374, a 550MHz bandwidth triple differential driver that consumes only 12.5mA/channel and the EL5373, a fixed gain-of-2 version of the EL5374 for double terminated line driving.

The EL5375 is a triple differential receiver that operates off only 9mA/channel.

Intersil has also released the EL5371, a 250MHz, 8mA/channel triple differential driver along with its fixed gain-of-2 version, the EL5370.

The corresponding receiver is the EL5372, a 250MHz bandwidth, 6mA/channel device.

"With this new family of devices, Intersil aims to provide ease of design through better gain matching, lower power consumption and fixed gain options when compared with discrete differential drivers and receivers", said Sameer Vuyyuru, Intersil's Director of Marketing for Video and Op Amps.

"When used in conjunction with each other, our new, high speed triple differential drivers and receivers provide the user a complete solution.

Our new EL537x family of triple differential drivers and receivers will find a perfect home in driving video or high density communication channels over Cat-5 or other twisted pair cables".
