EL7232 is a 3-state output dual channel, high speed, high current line driver produced by Philips. It is suitable for ATE and microprocessor-based applications. The low static power consumption makes it attractive in battery applications. The 2A peak drive capability makes it an excellent choice when driving high speed capacitive lines as well. The input circuitry provides level shifting from TTL levels to the supply rails. The EL7232 is available in 8 Ld PDIP and 8 Ld SO packages.
The EL7232 dual‑channel driver is designed for ATE and microprocessor‑based applications, offering 3‑state outputs, 3 V/5 V input compatibility, and clocking speeds up to 10 MHz. It provides a 2 A peak drive capability, low quiescent current (2.5 mA), and operates over a wide voltage range of 4.5 V to 16 V.
The device is available in 8‑lead PDIP and 8‑lead SOIC packages, with Pb‑free, RoHS‑compliant options. Detailed electrical specifications, timing diagrams, and package dimensions are included for design reference.
