Intersil Introduces the World's Most Highly Integrated Triple 16x5 Video Crosspoint Switch.MILPITAS, Calif. -- Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :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) ): --New EL4544 can operate in single-ended or differential input modes --Features -3dB bandwidth of 300MHz (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. and embedded video sync extraction Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ:ISIL), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog solutions, today announced a new triple 16x5 video switch ideal for high bandwidth 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). (red, green, blue) switching applications. The EL4544 is a video crosspoint switch that has 16 (RGB differential) input channels, which connect via an internal crosspoint multiplexer to five single-ended output channels. The EL4544 also features integrated input and output gain controls, auto-calibration for DC restore, a pixel-by-pixel overlay mux and embedded sync decoding. The EL4544 reduces cost, board space and design time for video switching applications such as security video systems, large video distribution systems and KVM (K Virtual Machine) A version of the Java Virtual Machine for small devices with limited memory. See J2ME. See also KVM switch. KVM - Keyboard Video Mouse operations. "The newest member of Intersil's video family is unlike any other competitive devices. It provides a new level of integration for video switching applications by replacing the multiple muxes and buffers that are required in other discrete solutions," said Patrick Long, Intersil's marketing manager for Video Products. "Along with its cost, space and time-to-market advantages, the EL4544 allows system designers to send and switch RGB video over standard CAT-5 cabling when used in combination with the EL4543 differential driver with embedded sync encoding." The EL4544 is programmed through a simple serial interface and can be daisy chained to create large switching arrays. It has input and output gain controls that provide four levels of control for screen brightness. The EL4544 can directly drive 150 ohm ohm (ōm) [for G. S. Ohm], unit of electrical resistance, defined as the resistance in a circuit in which a potential difference of one volt creates a current of one ampere; hence, 1 ohm equals 1 volt/ampere. loads and provides a presence-of-signal indicator that looks for syncs on a pre-assigned channel. It provides crosstalk rejection of 75dB at 100MHz. The device has enhanced features that include a pixel-by-pixel overlay mux for on-screen on·screen or on-screen adj. & adv. 1.

The EL4544 inputs can be used for single-ended signals as well, thus increasing the range of applications for the device. "The EL4544 is another example of Intersil's commitment to providing innovative high speed analog solutions and it joins a growing family of leadership video products," added Long. EL4544 Key Features ---3dB bandwidth of 300MHz --60MHz 0.1dB gain flatness --Crosstalk rejection: 75dB at 100MHz --Drives 150 ohm loads --Decodes embedded sync information from EL4543 --High Z output disable --Serial data-out to allow daisy chaining Applications --KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switches --Security video systems --Large video distribution systems EL4544 Availability The EL4544 is now available in Pb-free, 356-pin BGA (Ball Grid Array) A popular surface mount chip package that uses a grid of solder balls as its connectors. Available in plastic and ceramic varieties, BGA is noted for its compact size, high lead count and low inductance, which allows lower voltages to be used. packages. The suggested price in 1,000 unit quantities is $36.00 for each IC.
