Elantec Introduces Highest Performance, Multi-channel Buffers for LCD Applications.Business Editors/Technology Writers MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2001 Designed for Notebook Displays and Computer Monitor Applications, The EL5X23C Family Comes in 4, 8, 10 & 12 channel versions Elantec Semiconductor, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELNT), a leader in high-performance analog ICs, today introduced four new multi-channel buffers targeted at column driver reference voltage buffering applications in LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) A display technology that uses rod-shaped molecules (liquid crystals) that flow like liquid and bend light. Unenergized, the crystals direct light through two polarizing filters, allowing a natural background color to show. displays. Designed specifically for 14-inch and greater displays, the EL5X23C family features the same performance as the popular EL5220C and EL5420C, but at higher levels of integration. They are also available in very small outline packages, a combination that helps to reduce board area requirements and lowers cost in computer monitor, notebook and LCD-TV displays. The new EL5123C (4-channel), EL5223C (8-channel), EL5323C (10-channel) and EL5423C (12-channel) represent the next generation of Elantec LCD buffers. They feature 12MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. bandwidths, 15V/microsecond slew rates (1) How fast paper moves through a printer (ips). (2) The speed of changing voltage. and rail-to-rail input and output functionality. Packaged with inputs on one side and outputs on the other, the EL5123C family enables easy layout of the LCD printed circuit board.

Jennings turned pro in May of 1999, fighting club-level opposition until roughly 2003, when he defeated Jimmy Gould for the minor WBU , Director of Strategic Marketing for Video and Amplifier Products at Elantec said, "Elantec is a major supplier of reference voltage buffers to the top manufacturers in the notebook and PC-monitor LCD markets. These new parts are designed to provide the required number of buffer channels in a single package, enabling cost and board space savings over the traditional approach of using multiple 2 or 4-channel devices."
