Ultra-low Noise, Low Power, Wideband Amplifier Features General Description * * * * * * * The EL2125C 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 create both space and power dissipation problems. Voltage noise of only 0.83nV/Hz Current noise of only 2.4pA/Hz Low offset voltage 200V 180MHz -3dB BW for AV=10 Low supply current - 10mA SOT23 package available 2.5V to 15V operation Applications * * * * * Ultrasound input amplifiers Wideband instrumentation Communication equipment AGC & PLL active filters Wideband sensors EL2125C - Preliminary EL2125C - Preliminary The EL2125C 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 a 5-pin SOT23 package and 8-pin SO and 8-pin PDIP packages. The EL2125C is fabricated in Elantec's proprietary complementary bipolar process, and is specified for operation from -45C to +85C.
