12 MHz bandwidth, 500 µA per channel — the signal-chain workhorse
The Renesas EL5220CYZ is a dual voltage-feedback operational amplifier in an 8-MSOP package, built for signal-conditioning stages where bandwidth and supply current both matter. Its 12 MHz -3dB bandwidth and 8 MHz gain-bandwidth product cover audio processing, sensor amplification, and ADC driver stages up to several megahertz. The 10V/µs slew rate keeps large-signal distortion low for fast pulse or video signals. Each channel draws 500µA of supply current, which keeps the thermal budget manageable on densely populated boards — a meaningful advantage over wider-bandwidth parts that burn 2–3 mA per channel for similar speed. The rail-to-rail output stage swings within millivolts of both supply rails, maximizing dynamic range when running from a single 4.5V to 16.5V supply. This is especially useful in 5V or 12V single-supply systems where every millivolt of headroom matters for the ADC full-scale range. Input offset voltage is 2 mV typical, and input bias current is 2 nA — both adequate for general-purpose precision work, though not the ultra-low-offset tier.
Rated for the full industrial temperature span
The 8-MSOP package with 0.118-inch body width fits tight layouts and is a standard footprint for dual op-amps, so PCB layout reuse across multiple BOM lines is straightforward.
The 30 mA per channel output current is enough to drive a 2Vpp signal into a 150Ω load or to charge a 100 pF sampling capacitor on an ADC input within the settling time. It is not a power buffer — if you need to drive 50Ω cables or heavy capacitive loads, plan for an external buffer stage. The 4.5V minimum supply means it operates from a standard 5V rail with margin, and the 16.5V maximum covers 12V and 15V industrial rails. The 2 mV input offset is typical for a general-purpose voltage-feedback amplifier; if your application requires sub-millivolt precision, budget for a trim or select a lower-offset grade.
