The EL1501 contains two widebandhigh-voltage drivers and two receiveamplifiers. It is designed to drive45VP-P signals at 2MHz into a 200Ω load differentially withvery low distortion. The receive amplifiers also provide verylow distortion and noise, and with external resistors can bewired as a hybrid coupler.All amplifiers are of the current-feedback type, giving highslewrates while consuming moderate power. They retainfrequency response over a wide range of externally setgains.The EL1501 operates on ±5V to ±15V supplies, and retainsits bandwidths and linearities over the supply range.Eight center package pins are used as ground connectionsand heat spreaders, allowing a dissipation of 2W at themaximum ambient temperature of 85°C.
