Intersil EL5172 EL5372 Differential Line Receivers Datasheet
The EL5172 and EL5372 are high‑bandwidth differential line receivers designed for extracting the difference signal from noisy environments such as twisted‑pair lines. They operate over a temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C and can deliver up to +60 mA of output current.
Key features include a 250 MHz 3 dB bandwidth, 800 V/µs slew rate, and low power consumption (5‑6 mA per channel). The devices are offered in 8‑pin SO, 8‑pin MSOP (EL5172) and 24‑pin QSOP (EL5372) packages, with detailed pin descriptions and performance curves provided.
