The EL7155 is a high performance pin driver from Intersil, suited to many ATE and level-shifting applications. It has a peak drive capability of 3.5A, making it an excellent choice for driving high capacitance loads. Output pins OUTH and OUTL are connected to input pins VH and VL, depending on the status of the IN pin. One of the output pins is always in tri-state, except when the OE pin is active low, in which case both outputs are in 3-state mode. The isolation of the output FETs from the power supplies enables VH and VL to be set independently, enabling level-shifting to be implemented. This pin driver has improved performance over existing pin drivers. It is specifically designed to operate at voltages down to 0V across the switch elements while maintaining good speed and on-resistance characteristics. Available in 8 Ld SO and 8 Ld PDIP packages, the EL7155 is specified for operation over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
The EL7155 is a high‑performance 40 MHz pin driver with 3‑state outputs, designed for ATE, level‑shifting, and IGBT driver applications. It offers up to 3.5 A peak drive current and operates from 4.5 V to 16.5 V.
Key features include 15 ns rise/fall times at 2000 pF load, 3.5 pF typical input capacitance, and operation over a –40 °C to +85 °C temperature range. The device is available in 8‑lead SO and 8‑lead PDIP packages and includes detailed pinout, truth tables, and power‑dissipation calculations.
