Product details
Overview
EL5420CRZ from Intersil is a quad rail-to-rail input-output operational amplifier optimized for TFT-LCD voltage reference buffering. It delivers 12MHz bandwidth, 10V/µs slew rate, and ±30mA output drive per channel while consuming only 500µA per amplifier on 4.5V–16.5V supplies. Its beyond-the-rails input capability (±0.5V beyond VS) and rail-to-rail output swing enable full dynamic range in single- or dual-supply configurations.
For engineers reviewing the EL5420CRZ datasheet, EL5420CRZ pinout, EL5420CRZ application, or EL5420CRZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 14-lead TSSOP package with standard op-amp pinout, -40°C to +125°C operation, unity-gain stability, and verified performance in capacitive-load driving and high-channel-isolation scenarios up to 75dB at 5MHz.
Technical Context
The EL5420CRZ implements a high-voltage CMOS voltage-feedback architecture with fully differential input stages enabling common-mode input extension beyond supply rails. Each of its four independent amplifiers features matched internal compensation for guaranteed unity-gain stability across temperature and supply voltage variations.
Its output stage uses complementary bipolar-CMOS hybrid design to achieve symmetrical ±30mA sourcing/sinking capability and <500ns settling to ±0.1% under 2V step conditions. Channel separation remains ≥75dB at 5MHz, confirming low crosstalk in multi-channel analog signal routing applications.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
The EL5420CRZ is housed in a RoHS-compliant, 14-lead TSSOP package (M14.173) with exposed thermal pad connected to VS−. Pinout follows industry-standard quad op-amp configuration for drop-in replacement compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUTA | Amplifier A Output | Drives first gamma reference node; capable of ±30mA load current with rail-to-rail swing. |
| VINA− | Amplifier A Inverting Input | Accepts feedback from VOUTA; supports beyond-the-rails common-mode range down to VS− − 0.5V. |
| VINA+ | Amplifier A Non-Inverting Input | Receives first gamma reference voltage; immune to phase reversal within VS− − 0.5V to VS+ + 0.5V. |
| VS− | Negative Power Supply | Reference for all four amplifiers; thermal pad internally tied to this pin for enhanced heat dissipation. |
| VS+ | Positive Power Supply | Supplies all channels; accepts up to +16.5V; PSRR ≥60dB minimizes supply noise coupling. |
| VOUTB | Amplifier B Output | Drives second gamma reference; electrically isolated from VOUTA with ≥75dB channel separation at 5MHz. |
| VINB− | Amplifier B Inverting Input | Feedback node for channel B; shares same input impedance (1GΩ) and bias current (2–50nA) as other channels. |
| VINB+ | Amplifier B Non-Inverting Input | Receives second gamma reference; identical CMIR and offset specs ensure matched channel behavior. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad rail-to-rail op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2464IDR | Lower bandwidth (6.4MHz), higher supply current (600µA/channel), wider offset range (±3mV typ). | Not recommended for >1MHz video-rate buffering; better suited for low-frequency sensor interfaces. | Select TLV2464IDR only if cost sensitivity outweighs bandwidth and power requirements. |
| AD8604ARUZ | Higher precision (300µV max VOS), lower drive (±25mA), narrower supply range (2.7–5.5V). | Optimized for low-voltage precision instrumentation, not high-voltage LCD bias rails. | Choose AD8604ARUZ when sub-millivolt offset and low noise dominate over output drive and supply flexibility. |
Compared with TLV2464IDR and AD8604ARUZ, the EL5420CRZ uniquely balances 12MHz bandwidth, ±30mA drive, and 4.5–16.5V operation-making it the only option among the three qualified for TFT-LCD gamma reference buffering at full panel resolution.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the EL5420CRZ?
The EL5420CRZ has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of +18V between VS+ and VS−. However, its specified operating range is 4.5V to 16.5V. Operation at 16.5V is fully characterized and supported across the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range, making EL5420CRZ suitable for 15V LCD bias rail applications without derating.
Does the EL5420CRZ require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the EL5420CRZ is internally compensated and unity-gain stable across all operating conditions. The datasheet confirms stable operation with AV = +1 and 10kΩ || 12pF loads, delivering 12MHz bandwidth and 50° phase margin. No external capacitors or resistors are needed for basic voltage-follower or inverter configurations using EL5420CRZ.
How does the EL5420CRZ handle inputs exceeding the supply rails?
The EL5420CRZ supports beyond-the-rails input operation: its common-mode input range extends to VS− − 0.5V and VS+ + 0.5V. Within this range, the device remains phase-reversal immune. However, inputs exceeding VS+ + 0.6V or VS− − 0.6V risk forward-biasing internal ESD diodes and potential damage-so EL5420CRZ must be used with clamping or limiting circuitry if overvoltage events are expected.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the EL5420CRZ in its 14-lead TSSOP package?
The EL5420CRZ in the 14-lead TSSOP package (M14.173) has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 93°C/W when mounted on a high effective thermal conductivity test board in free air. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 4 of FN7186 Rev 8.00 and informs safe power dissipation limits for EL5420CRZ in compact PCB layouts.
Can unused amplifiers in the EL5420CRZ be left floating?
No, unused amplifiers in the EL5420CRZ must not be left floating. The datasheet explicitly recommends configuring each unused channel as a unity-gain follower: connect the inverting input directly to the output, and tie the non-inverting input to a stable reference (e.g., ground or mid-supply). This prevents input-stage saturation, reduces supply current variation, and avoids unintended oscillation-ensuring predictable behavior of active channels in EL5420CRZ.
