Elantec Introduces Two Ultra Low Noise Amplifiers for Medical Imaging, Communications, Sensor Applications.Business Editors/Technology Writers MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 19, 2001 With a noise specification under 1nV/root-Hz, new EL2125C and EL2126C provide optimal signal amplification with superb signal-to-noise performance Elantec Semiconductor, Inc. (Nasdaq:ELNT), a leader in high-performance analog ICs, today introduced two new ultra low noise amplifiers -- the EL2125C and EL2126C. Both are designed for applications such as medical imaging, communications and sensor interface, where very low-level signals need to be amplified, and low noise is critical to overall system accuracy. The EL2125C features an exceptionally low noise specification of just 0.83nV/root-Hz and a current noise specification of just 2.1pA/root-Hz. With a bandwidth of 215MHz (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. at -3dB at the minimum gain of 10, the EL2125C consumes only 10mA of supply current. The lower supply current EL2126C features a 135MHz bandwidth at a gain of 10, noise and current specifications of 1.3nV/root-Hz and 1pA/root-Hz respectively, and operates on just a 4.5mA supply current.

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, "Continuing our commitment to the general purpose amplifier market, these new low noise amplifiers broaden Elantec's offering in the medical imaging and communications market, to whom we already sell a number of our other general purpose amplifier and video products." Both the EL2125C and EL2126C are available in the industry standard 8-Pin SOIC (Small Outline IC) A small-dimension, plastic, rectangular, surface mount chip package that uses gull-wing pins extending outward.
