EL7158
Power Dissipation Calculation
When switching at high speeds, or driving heavy loads, the
EL7158 drive capability is limited by the rise in die
temperature brought about by internal power dissipation. For
reliable operation die temperature must be kept below
Applications Information
Product Description
The EL7158 is a high performance 40MHz pin driver. It
contains two analog switches connecting V and V to OUT.
Depending on the value of the IN pin, one of the two
switches will be closed and the other switch open. An output
enable (OE) is also supplied which opens both switches
simultaneously.

Supply Voltage Range and Input Compatibility
The EL7158 is designed for operation on supplies from 5V to
18V (4.5V to 18V maximum). Table 2 shows the

When using the EL7158, it is very important to use adequate
