EL5236ISZ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EL5236ISZ is a differential amplifier integrated circuit manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, configured as a 2-circuit operational amplifier in 8-SOIC surface mount packaging. This device is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent and substitute components for ongoing design support and production requirements.

The EL5236ISZ operates across a 5V to 12V supply span with a slew rate of 128V/µs and gain bandwidth product of 300 MHz. The differential amplifier topology with dual circuits makes it suitable for precision signal conditioning and differential signal processing applications. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent active alternatives from major manufacturers are required to maintain design continuity and ensure long-term component availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EL5236ISZ is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters within the linear amplifier category. The following criteria establish valid substitution relationships:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Package type: 8-SOIC surface mount form factor (0.154", 3.90mm width)
Number of circuits: 2 independent amplifier circuits
Supply voltage range: Minimum 5V, maximum 12V
Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C minimum
RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

Secondary Electrical Parameters:

Slew rate: 128V/µs baseline (substitutes may exceed this specification)
Gain bandwidth product: 300 MHz baseline (substitutes may exceed this specification)
Input bias current: 6.5 µA baseline (substitutes typically lower)
Input offset voltage: 100 µV baseline (substitutes may vary)
Output current per channel: 160 mA baseline (substitutes may exceed this specification)

Substitutes are grouped into two categories based on amplifier topology: voltage feedback amplifiers (LMH6622, LMH6626, OPA2614, OPA2652, OPA2690 series) and differential amplifiers. All substitutes maintain the 8-SOIC package, dual-circuit configuration, and compatible supply voltage specifications. Substitutes with active product status provide superior long-term availability compared to the obsolete EL5236ISZ.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain full compatibility with the EL5236ISZ in terms of package form factor (8-SOIC), circuit count (2 independent amplifiers), and supply voltage range (5V to 12V). All substitutes are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Primary Recommendation for Direct Replacement:

The OPA2690ID and OPA2690IDR represent the most capable direct substitutes, offering identical gain bandwidth product (300 MHz) to the EL5236ISZ while providing superior slew rate performance (1800V/µs versus 128V/µs). These devices maintain the same operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and supply specifications. The OPA2690 series is available in high inventory quantities (65,980 units for OPA2690ID), ensuring long-term supply continuity. Both tube (OPA2690ID) and tape & reel (OPA2690IDR) packaging options are available.

Secondary Recommendations by Application Profile:

For applications requiring lower supply current consumption, the LMH6622MA/NOPB and LMH6622MAX/NOPB offer reduced current draw (4.3mA versus 5.8mA) with -3dB bandwidth of 160 MHz. These devices feature superior moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1 versus MSL 3), improving handling and storage characteristics.

For high-speed applications requiring extended temperature operation, the LMH6626MA/NOPB and LMH6626MAX/NOPB provide operating temperature range to 125°C, significantly higher slew rate (400V/µs), and gain bandwidth product of 1.5 GHz, though with increased supply current requirements (12mA).

For applications requiring high output current capability, the OPA2614ID and OPA2614IDR deliver 350mA per channel output current (versus 160mA in the EL5236ISZ) with 290 MHz gain bandwidth product and 145V/µs slew rate.

All substitute devices are manufactured by Texas Instruments with active product status, ensuring continued availability and technical support beyond the obsolete EL5236ISZ.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OPA2690ID directly replace the EL5236ISZ without circuit modifications?

A: The OPA2690ID maintains identical package (8-SOIC), circuit count (2), supply voltage range (5V to 12V), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) as the EL5236ISZ. Pin-for-pin compatibility exists for standard differential amplifier configurations. Circuit modifications are not required for basic substitution, though application-specific circuit optimization may be beneficial given the OPA2690ID's superior performance characteristics.

Q: What is the difference between tube and tape & reel packaging options?

A: Tube packaging (OPA2690ID, OPA2614ID, LMH6622MA/NOPB, LMH6626MA/NOPB, OPA2652U) is suitable for lower-volume applications and manual assembly processes. Tape & reel packaging (OPA2690IDR, OPA2614IDR, LMH6622MAX/NOPB, LMH6626MAX/NOPB) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly and high-volume production. Both packaging formats contain identical die and electrical specifications.

Q: Why do some substitutes have higher supply current requirements?

A: Supply current varies based on internal circuit topology and performance specifications. The LMH6626 series (12mA) and OPA2614 series (12mA) consume more current than the EL5236ISZ (5.8mA) due to higher slew rate capability and output current capacity. The OPA2690 series (11mA) represents a middle ground, offering superior slew rate with moderate current increase. Application power budgets must accommodate these variations.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) indicate?

A: MSL rating specifies the maximum time a component can be exposed to ambient conditions (30°C, 60% relative humidity) before soldering. The EL5236ISZ has MSL 3 (168 hours), while most substitutes have MSL 1 (unlimited) or MSL 2 (1 year). Lower MSL ratings provide greater handling flexibility and reduce risk of moisture-induced failures during assembly.

Q: Are all substitutes suitable for the full -40°C to 85°C temperature range?

A: All listed substitutes support the -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range of the EL5236ISZ. The LMH6626MA/NOPB and LMH6626MAX/NOPB extend operation to 125°C, providing additional thermal margin for high-temperature applications. Standard substitutes (OPA2690, OPA2614, LMH6622, OPA2652) are rated to 85°C maximum.

Q: How do the electrical performance specifications compare?

A: The EL5236ISZ provides 128V/µs slew rate and 300 MHz gain bandwidth product. The OPA2690 series exceeds both specifications (1800V/µs slew rate, 300 MHz gain bandwidth product). The LMH6622 series provides lower slew rate (85V/µs) but maintains adequate bandwidth (160 MHz). The OPA2614 series offers moderate slew rate (145V/µs) with 290 MHz gain bandwidth product. Selection depends on specific application bandwidth and transient response requirements.

Q: What is the significance of active versus obsolete product status?

A: Active products (all listed substitutes) receive ongoing manufacturer support, continued production, and long-term availability guarantees. The obsolete EL5236ISZ has reached end-of-life status with no further production or technical updates. Substitution to active products ensures design sustainability and eliminates future supply chain risk.
