Elantec Introduces New Dual 12MHz Buffer; EL5221C in SOT23-6 Buffers Reference Voltages in TFT-LCD Applications.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 22, 2000 Elantec Semiconductor, Inc. (Nasdaq:ELNT), a leader in high-performance analog ICs, today introduced a new dual rail-to-rail buffer, the EL5221C. This ultra-low-power design, available in the tiny SOT23-6 package, is ideal for buffering reference voltage in TFT-LCD TFT-LCD Thin Film Transistor - Liquid Crystal Display applications. The EL5221C features a bandwidth of 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. and a slew-rate of 10V per microsecond One millionth of a second. See space/time and ohnosecond. (unit) microsecond - One millionth (10^-6) of a second. , while operating on just 600 microamps of supply current. To enable easy placement and layout routing, both inputs are located on one side of the IC, with outputs positioned on the opposite side. The EL5221C is priced at $1.51 in 1,000-piece quantities. Michael Jennings Michael Jennings (born September 9 1977 in Preston, England) is a professional boxer, fighting out of the town of Chorley in Lancashire. 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, "The EL5221C is the latest in a complete family of amplifier and buffer products from Elantec targeted at LCD applications. The SOT23-6 package and buffer design of the EL5221C reduce component count and board space requirements, making the EL5221C ideal for laptop LCD applications."
