The EL7182 is extremely well suited for driving CCD's, especially where high contrast imaging is desirable. The 16V supply rating is attractive for higher voltage CCD applications, as in color fax machines. The input is TTL and 3V compatible. The low quiescent current requirement is advantageous in portable/battery powered systems. The EL7182 is available in 8 Ld PDIP and 8 Ld SOIC packages.
