Product Des cription
The EL2244 and EL2444 are low-power wideband
monolithic operational amplifiers built on Elantec's
proprietary high-speed complementary bipolar process. The
EL2244 and EL2444 use a classical voltage-feedback
topology which allows them to be used in a variety of
applications where current-feedback amplifiers are not
appropriate because of restrictions placed upon the
feedback element used with the amplifier. The conventional
topology of the EL2244 and EL2444 allows, for example, a
capacitor to be placed in the feedback path, making it an
excellent choice for applications such as active filters,
sample-and-holds, or integrators. Similarly, because of the
ability to use diodes in the feedback network, the EL2244
and EL2444 are an excellent choice for applications such as
fast log amplifiers.

Power Dis s ipation
The EL2244 and EL2444 have been designed to have a
wide input and output voltage range. This design also makes
the EL2244 and EL2444 an excellent choice for single-
supply operation. Using a single positive supply, the lower
With the wide power supply range and large output drive
capability of the EL2244 and EL2444, it is possible to exceed
the 150°C maximum junction temperatures under certain
load and power-supply conditions. It is therefore important to
