Product details
Overview
EL7457CSZ-T7 from Renesas Electronics is a 40MHz non-inverting quad CMOS driver IC designed for high-speed switching of capacitive loads in precision timing and signal routing circuits. It delivers 2A peak output current, 3Ω typical on-resistance, and matched rise/fall times within 1ns - enabling precise clock distribution in CCD imaging systems and ultrasound transducer drivers.
For engineers reviewing the EL7457CSZ-T7 datasheet, EL7457CSZ-T7 pinout, EL7457CSZ-T7 application, or EL7457CSZ-T7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-supply operation (VS+ to VS− up to 18V), ±5V to +16.5V programmable VH/VL output swing, 12ns enable/disable latency, and SOIC-16 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The EL7457CSZ-T7 integrates four independent non-inverting driver channels, each combining a P-channel high-side switch and N-channel low-side switch to steer outputs between user-defined VH and VL rails. Its input logic accepts 3V/5V CMOS and TTL signals with ground-referenced inputs, while a shared OE pin forces all outputs into high-impedance state.
Propagation delay matching (≤2ns) and edge timing matching (tR/tF ≤1ns) are achieved via matched internal transistor pairs and symmetric layout. The device operates across wide supply ranges: VS+ = −5V to +16.5V relative to VS−, with VH and VL independently configurable within those bounds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Clock Rate | 40MHz - supports high-frequency CCD vertical/horizontal clocks and ATE pin sequencing. |
| Output Drive Strength | 2A peak sink/source - drives 1000pF loads with 11–13.5ns rise/fall times under 15V supply. |
| On-Resistance | 3Ω nominal (VH→OUT / VL→OUT) - minimizes voltage drop and power loss during heavy capacitive switching. |
| Timing Match | ≤1ns tR/tF mismatch, ≤2ns propagation delay mismatch - ensures channel-to-channel skew control critical for multi-phase clocking. |
| Supply Range | VS+ to VS−: 5V to 18V; VH: VS−+2.5V to VS+; VL: VS− to VS+ - enables flexible level-shifting across mixed-voltage systems. |
| Enable Latency | 12ns enable/disable delay - allows fast gating of outputs during power-down sequences in CCD applications. |
| Quiescent Current | <1mA - reduces standby power in battery-sensitive or thermally constrained designs. |
Pinout & Package
EL7457CSZ-T7 is supplied in a 16-pin SOIC (0.150") package per MDP0027 outline, with exposed thermal pad not present (unlike QFN variant). Pin functions are electrically identical across SOIC, QSOP, and QFN packages per datasheet.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INA) | Channel A input | CMOS/TTL-compatible logic input controlling OUTA; referenced to GND. |
| 2 (OE) | Global output enable | Active-low control: pulls all outputs to high-Z when low; 12ns response enables synchronized shutdown. |
| 3 (INB) | Channel B input | Independent logic input for OUTB; shares same voltage domain and timing specs as INA. |
| 4 (VL) | Low-side output rail | User-defined negative or ground-referenced voltage (−5V ≤ VL ≤ VS+); sets lower output swing limit. |
| 5 (GND) | Input logic reference | Digital ground for all INx and OE pins; isolated from power grounds in mixed-signal layouts. |
| 6,13 (NC) | No connection | Unbonded die pads; must remain floating - no external connection or PCB trace required. |
| 7 (INC) | Channel C input | Third independent input driving OUTC; identical electrical specs to INA/INB/IND. |
| 8 (IND) | Channel D input | Fourth logic input for OUTD; supports full quad-channel parallel operation. |
| 9 (VS−) | Negative supply | Primary negative rail for internal biasing; connects to VL or separate supply depending on configuration. |
| 10 (OUTD) | Channel D output | Non-inverting driver output swinging between VH and VL; capable of 2A transient current. |
| 11 (OUTC) | Channel C output | Matched-output channel with ≤1ns tR/tF skew vs. OUTD for phase-aligned drive. |
| 12 (VH) | High-side output rail | User-defined positive voltage (VS−+2.5V ≤ VH ≤ VS+); sets upper output swing limit. |
| 14 (OUTB) | Channel B output | Second output with matched propagation delay (≤2ns mismatch vs. OUTA) for timing-critical paths. |
| 15 (OUTA) | Channel A output | Primary output with 12ns tR/tF at 1000pF load; used as timing reference in multi-channel sync. |
| 16 (VS+) | Positive supply | Main positive rail (up to +16.5V); powers internal level shifters and output stage bias networks. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-channel non-inverting drive | Four independent, matched-output drivers in single SOIC-16 package - reduces board space vs. discrete solutions. |
| VH/VL programmable output swing | Configurable high/low rail voltages enable level-shifting between −5V and +16.5V domains without external translators. |
| Sub-2ns channel timing match | ≤1ns rise/fall time match and ≤2ns propagation delay match - preserves signal integrity in multi-phase clock trees. |
| Fast 12ns enable/disable | Hardware-controlled OE pin transitions all outputs to high-Z within 12ns - eliminates glitches during power sequencing. |
| Wide supply tolerance | Operates from 5V to 18V total supply (VS+ to VS−) with guaranteed performance - supports legacy and next-gen voltage rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad high-speed driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| EL7457CUZ-T7 | Identical electrical specs and pinout; packaged in 16-pin QSOP (MDP0040) instead of SOIC (MDP0027). | QSOP offers slightly smaller footprint but higher thermal resistance (θJA = 112°C/W vs. 73°C/W for SOIC) - less suitable for high-duty-cycle thermal loads. | Select EL7457CUZ-T7 only when board space constraints favor QSOP and power dissipation remains below 350mW. |
| EL7457CLZ-T7 | Same functionality and timing specs; uses 4×4mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad (θJA = 43°C/W). | QFN provides superior thermal performance and lower inductance, but requires reflow-compatible layout and no through-hole prototyping support. | Choose EL7457CLZ-T7 for high-density, thermally demanding applications like portable ultrasound or compact CCD modules where SOIC thermal limits are exceeded. |
Compared with EL7457CUZ-T7 and EL7457CLZ-T7, the EL7457CSZ-T7 balances thermal performance, manufacturability, and legacy board compatibility - making it optimal for industrial and medical equipment where SOIC-16 is standard and moderate power levels apply.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for EL7457CSZ-T7?
The EL7457CSZ-T7 supports a total supply voltage (VS+ to VS−) up to +18V. Absolute maximum ratings specify VS+ to VS− ≤ +18V, with VH limited to VS+ and VL ≥ VS−. Operation beyond these limits risks permanent damage. For reliable 40MHz operation, Renesas recommends VS+ to VS− between 5V and 16.5V per datasheet Table 1.
Does EL7457CSZ-T7 support true bidirectional level shifting?
No, the EL7457CSZ-T7 is a unidirectional non-inverting driver - it translates logic-level inputs into high-current, rail-to-rail outputs between VH and VL, but does not pass signals back from output to input. It functions as a level-shifting driver, not a bidirectional translator. Input signals must always be referenced to GND and compatible with 3V/5V CMOS/TTL thresholds.
Can EL7457CSZ-T7 drive capacitive loads exceeding 1000pF?
Yes, the EL7457CSZ-T7 can drive loads >1000pF, but timing degrades predictably: rise/fall times increase linearly with load capacitance (see Figure 8). At 4700pF, tR/tF ≈ 60ns (VS+ = 15V). Thermal limits must also be observed - power dissipation rises with CL × f × VSWING², so heatsinking or derating may be needed above 2000pF at high frequency.
Is the EL7457CSZ-T7 pin-compatible with earlier revisions of the EL7457 family?
Yes, the EL7457CSZ-T7 maintains identical pinout, electrical behavior, and thermal characteristics across all package variants (SOIC, QSOP, QFN) per FN7288 Rev.5.00. No PCB changes are required when substituting EL7457CSZ-T7 for EL7457CSZ, EL7457CUZ-T7, or EL7457CLZ-T7 - only thermal and layout considerations differ due to package form factor.
What is the recommended power supply bypassing scheme for EL7457CSZ-T7?
Renesas specifies a 4.7µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF low-inductance ceramic MLCC on both VS+ and VS− pins, placed as close as possible to the device. Additional 0.1µF ceramics are advised on VH and VL pins when driving >500pF loads. This prevents supply rail collapse during 2A transient currents and maintains timing accuracy.
