Product details
Overview
EL5225IRZ-T7 from Intersil is a 10-channel programmable reference voltage generator for TFT-LCD gamma correction, featuring 10-bit resolution (0–1023), ±1% output accuracy, rail-to-rail output swing (within 50 mV of VS+ and GND), and SPI-compatible 3-wire digital interface operating up to 5 MHz. It supports analog supply voltages from 5 V to 16.5 V and digital supply from 3.3 V to 5 V, with typical supply current of 9 mA.
For engineers reviewing the EL5225IRZ-T7 datasheet, EL5225IRZ-T7 pinout, EL5225IRZ-T7 application, or EL5225IRZ-T7 equivalent, this device is selected for precision multi-voltage reference generation in display timing systems where channel-to-channel matching (<2 mV mismatch), low droop (1–2 mV/ms), and synchronized refresh via internal/external 21 kHz oscillator are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The EL5225IRZ-T7 implements a segmented sample-and-hold architecture per channel, refreshed continuously by an internal 21 kHz oscillator or externally synchronized clock applied to EXT_OSC. Each output is driven by a rail-to-rail buffer capable of sourcing/sinking up to 30 mA, with load regulation of 0.5–1.5 mV/mA and PSRR of 45–65 dB.
Its 16-bit serial interface uses ENA as chip select, SDI for data input, SCLK for clocking (positive-edge triggered), and SDO for daisy-chain capability. Control bits B14 select internal/external clock source; B13–B10 encode channel address (A–J); B9–B0 hold the 10-bit DAC code. Transfer function is strictly VOUT = VREFL + (data/1024) × (VREFH − VREFL).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-channel reference voltage generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX5487ETN+ | 8-channel, 10-bit, SPI interface; no internal oscillator; requires external clock or MCU timing control | Lacks daisy-chain SDO and internal refresh oscillator; less suited for standalone gamma systems | Select when fewer channels suffice and system-level timing control is already available |
| AD5667RBRMZ-REEL7 | Dual-channel, 16-bit, I²C interface; integrated 2.5 V reference; no rail-to-rail output stage | Higher resolution but half the channel count; I²C limits daisy-chain scalability vs SPI | Select for high-precision dual-output needs where I²C bus integration is preferred |
Compared with MAX5487ETN+ and AD5667RBRMZ-REEL7, the EL5225IRZ-T7 uniquely combines 10-channel count, built-in 21 kHz refresh oscillator, daisy-chain SPI, and rail-to-rail output drive-making it purpose-built for TFT-LCD gamma correction where channel density, autonomous operation, and load drive capability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage for EL5225IRZ-T7?
The EL5225IRZ-T7 supports an analog supply voltage (VS+) from 4.5 V (min) to 18 V (max) and a digital supply (VSD) from 3 V (min) to VS+ or 7 V (max), whichever is lower. Operation beyond these limits risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 5 V to 16.5 V for VS+ and 3.3 V to 5 V for VSD, as specified in the FN7356 datasheet.
Does EL5225IRZ-T7 support daisy-chaining multiple units?
Yes, the EL5225IRZ-T7 supports daisy-chaining via its SDO (serial data out) pin. When ENA is held low, data shifted into the first device's SDI propagates through SDO to the next device's SDI. This allows programming of stacked EL5225IRZ-T7 units using a single 3-wire SPI interface, with simultaneous output update upon ENA rising edge.
What is the role of the CAP pin on EL5225IRZ-T7?
The CAP pin on EL5225IRZ-T7 connects to a 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor that stabilizes the internal 1.3 V bandgap reference. This capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the CAP pin and GND to suppress noise and ensure accurate DAC output scaling. Omitting or misplacing this capacitor degrades reference stability and increases output drift.
Can EL5225IRZ-T7 operate with only internal clocking?
Yes, EL5225IRZ-T7 defaults to internal 21 kHz oscillator mode after power-up. The EXT_OSC pin outputs this clock signal when B14 = 0 in the control word. Internal clocking is suitable for static or slowly varying load conditions. For transient column driver loads, external clock synchronization (B14 = 1) is recommended to align refresh edges away from load switching events.
What is the guaranteed accuracy specification for EL5225IRZ-T7?
The EL5225IRZ-T7 guarantees ±1% full-scale output accuracy over temperature (−40°C to +85°C) and supply variations. This includes integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1.3 LSB and differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±0.5 LSB, measured at TA = 25°C with VS = 15 V, VSD = 5 V, VREFH = 13 V, VREFL = 2 V, and RL = 1.5 kΩ.
