Intersil Introduces Current Feedback Amplifier Family With Industry's Highest Performance-to-Power Ratio.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MILPITAS Milpitas (mĭl'pē`təs), city (1990 pop. 50,686), Santa Clara co., W Calif., a suburb of San Jose, southeast of San Francisco; inc. 1954. Manufactures include computers and paint. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 2003 Wide Bandwidths and Fast Slew Rates (1) How fast paper moves through a printer (ips). (2) The speed of changing voltage. at Very Low Power Consumption Make New Elantec(R) EL516X Op Amp Family Perfectly Tailored for Handheld, Portable and Battery-Powered Applications Intersil Corporation (Nasdaq:ISIL ISIL International Society for Individual Liberty ISIL Interim Support Items List ISIL Intelligence Systems Integration Laboratory (Ft. Huachuca, Arizona; US Army facility for integrating intelligence systems) ), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog solutions, today introduced six new current feedback amplifiers (CFAs) for high-speed video and monitor applications requiring low power consumption. The latest addition to Intersil's new high-speed operational amplifier operational amplifier, amplifier whose output voltage is proportional to the negative of its input voltage and that boosts the amplitude of an input signal many times, i.e., has a very high gain. portfolio, the Elantec(R) EL516X family includes 200 Megahertz One million cycles per second. See MHz. MegaHertz - (MHz) Millions of cycles per second. The unit of frequency used to measure the clock rate of modern digital logic, including microprocessors. (MHz (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. ), 500 MHz and 600 MHz bandwidth amplifiers. Slew rates of 1700 V/us and 4000 V/us are achieved while drawing only 0.85 mA and 1.7 mA of current respectively. "The latest addition to the Elantec op amp family combines high bandwidth and slew rate performance with very low supply current -- offering customers the best slew rate to power ratio in the industry today," said Sameer Vuyyuru, Intersil's director of marketing for video and op amps. "Our new EL516X family of single current feedback amplifiers is a perfect fit for today's battery-powered and portable video applications requiring high bandwidth and slew rate performance and very low power consumption. A very high 'gain-of-2' bandwidth makes this line the fastest in the industry for double-terminated video applications. Many of these new CFAs also incorporate power-saving fast enable/disable that reduces supply current to 100 microamps per amplifier, preserving precious battery run time." Intersil's latest current feedback amplifiers include the EL5160 and EL5161, which feature 200 MHz bandwidths at -3dB and 1700 volt volt [for Alessandro Volta], abbr. V, unit of electric potential and electromotive force. It is defined as the difference of electric potential existing across the ends of a conductor carrying a constant current of 1 ampere when the power dissipated is 1 watt. per microsecond One millionth of a second.

Abbreviated "mA." See ampere-hour. (mA) supply current. Intersil's EL5162 and EL5163 offer 500 MHz of -3dB bandwidth and 4000 V/us slew rates while consuming only 1.7 mA of supply current. For very high bandwidth applications, Intersil offers the new EL5164 and EL5165 current feedback amplifiers featuring 600 MHz bandwidths at -3dB and 4000 V/us slew rates while requiring only 5 mA of supply current. All of these devices operate from single and dual supply range of 5 volts to 12 volts. The EL5160, EL5162 and EL5164 incorporate an enable/disable function to reduce the supply current to 100 microamps typical per amplifier.
