Intersil Introduces Industry's Fastest Triple Current Feedback Amplifiers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2004 New Elantec EL536x Series Features Bandwidths up to 600MHz (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. ; CFA (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986) Signed into law in 1986, the CFA was a significant step forward in criminalizing unauthorized access to computer systems and networks. The Act applies to "federal interest computers" that include any system used by the U.S. Family Also Delivers Fast Slew Rates up to 4500 V/us 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 announced three new triple high-speed current feedback amplifiers (CFAs). 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) EL536x 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), 400 MHz, and 600 MHz bandwidth triple current feedback amplifiers. The devices are designed for high-resolution display, RGB (Red Green Blue) The computer's native color space, which is the color system for capturing and displaying images. RGB was derived from our own perception of color because human eyes are sensitive to red, green and blue (see trichromaticity). video and other high performance video applications. With a power consumption of 2.5 mA for the three current feedback blocks (EL5360), these devices deliver the most AC performance per amplifier available from any CFAs in the industry, while maintaining excellent DC performance, with offset voltages less than 5 mV. "The newest members of the Elantec op amp family are designed to meet the requirements of high resolution display interfaces," said Sameer Vuyyuru, Intersil's director of marketing for video and op amps. "Our new EL536x family of triple current feedback amplifiers satisfies the demand for high bandwidth with low noise and, most importantly Adv. 1. most importantly - above and beyond all other consideration; "above all, you must be independent" above all, most especially , controlled pulse response. These new devices' power consumption is in most cases less than any three individual amplifiers combined. By virtue of their monolithic architecture, their gain matching is exceptional."
