Intersil Introduces New Op Amp Series, Including World's Fastest Op Amp in SC-70 Packaging.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 21, 2003 New Elantec EL5167 provides 1.4 GHz of bandwidth and 6000 V/us slew rate (1) How fast paper moves through a printer (ips). (2) The speed of changing voltage. in a 2mm x 2mm package 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 four new current feedback amplifiers in SC-70 packages. The four new parts are the latest additions to Intersil's rapidly expanding 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 the EL5167, featuring 1.4 Gigahertz (GHz) bandwidth and 6000 volts per microsecond One millionth of a second. See space/time and ohnosecond. (unit) microsecond - One millionth (10^-6) of a second. (V/us) slew rate and the EL5165, a 600 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. bandwidth amplifier with 4000 V/us slew rate. Also introduced: the EL5163, with 500 MHz bandwidth and 4000 V/us slew rate; and the EL5161, featuring 200 MHz bandwidth and 1700 V/us slew rate. All these new devices feature ultra-low supply current and superior AC performance, which provides the best bandwidth-to-power ratio in the industry. "Intersil has made a conscious effort to design for low power and space while maintaining best-in-class AC performance," said Sameer Vuyyuru, Intersil's director of marketing for video and op amps. "Our new EL516X family of single current feedback amplifiers will enable many space and power constrained applications. The EL5167 is an example of our commitment to system designers -- it is the fastest op amp in an SC-70 package." Applications for these new products include battery-powered equipment such as hand-held, portable devices; video amplifiers; cable drivers; 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). amplifiers; test and instrumentation equipment; and current-to-voltage converters. EL5161 Key Features -- -3dB bandwidth of 200 MHz -- 1700 V/us slew rate -- Gain-of-2 bandwidth: 125 MHz -- 0.85 mA supply current EL5163 Key Features -- -3dB bandwidth of 500 MHz -- 4000 V/us slew rate -- Gain-of-2 bandwidth: 233 MHz -- 1.7 mA supply current EL5165 Key Features -- -3dB bandwidth of 600 MHz -- 4000 V/us slew rate -- Gain-of-2 bandwidth: 300 MHz -- 5 mA supply current EL5167 Key Features -- -3dB bandwidth of 1400 MHz -- 6000 V/us slew rate -- Gain-of-2 bandwidth: 800 MHz -- 8.5 mA supply current Availability and Pricing All four parts are available now.
