Intersil Introduces Low-cost Dual Buffer Amplifier to Reduce Current Drain in LCD Displays for Portable Devices.MILPITAS, Calif. -- 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 the EL5027, a new low-cost dual buffer amplifier An analog device that is typically used for impedance matching and signal isolation. For example, a sound card typically uses buffer amps at most of its input and output ports. that brings high performance and lower power consumption in thin-film transistor liquid-crystal displays (TFT-LCDs) for portable devices. This dual buffer is used for common reference voltage, V(COM (1) (Computer Output Microfilm) Creating microfilm or microfiche from the computer. A COM machine receives print-image output from the computer either online or via tape or disk and creates a film image of each page. ), and gamma color correction in TFT-LCDs and helps ensure a sharp and accurate image while reducing battery drain. "The low-cost EL5027 is the latest product in our line of industry leading V(COM) and gamma products," said Michael Jennings, director of marketing for Intersil's Display Products. "Building on the success of our products targeted for monitors, LCD-TVs and notebook PCs, the EL5027 offers ultra low power An ultra low power, or ULP device, is an electronic gadget that has milli- or micro-watt power consumption. Some examples of ultra-low power devices:
The EL5027 features two unity-gain rail-to-rail input/output buffer amplifiers, each with a bandwidth of 2.5 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. . The per-buffer current drain is an exceptionally low 110 uA, which contributes to extended battery usage in portable devices. In addition, these buffers offer a 1.2-V/us slew rate specification and can drive up to 120 mA short circuit current.
