The EL2386 is a triple current-feedback operational amplifier which achieves a -3dB bandwidth of 250MHz at a gain of +1 while consuming only 3mA of supply current per amplifier. It will operate with dual supplies ranging from ±1.5V to ±6V, or from single supplies ranging from +3V to +12V. The EL2386 also includes a disable/power-down feature which reduces current consumption to 0mA while placing the amplifier output in a high impedance state. In spite of its low supply current, the EL2386 can output 55mA while swinging to ±4V on ±5V supplies. These attributes make the EL2386 an excellent choice for low power and/or low voltage cable driver, HDSL, or RGB applications.
