E-mail: Bill Janssen <janssen@parc.xerox.com>. 60002 receives "Best Advance in Voltage Reference A voltage reference is an electronic device (circuit or component) that produces a fixed (constant) voltage irrespective of the loading on the device, power supply variation and temperature. Technology for 2004" Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ:ISIL), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog solutions, today announced that analogZONE editors bestowed top 2004 Product of the Year honors on two groundbreaking Intersil products. The EL5367 Triple 1GHz Current-Feedback Op Amp received the honor of Best Video Op Amp and the ISL60002 FGA FGA Field Goals Attempted (basketball statistic) FGA Food Grinder Attachment FGA Fibrinogen, A alpha polypeptide FGA Feature Group A FGA Florida Geographic Alliance FGA Fighter Ground Attack Precision Voltage Reference took first place for Best Advance in Voltage Reference Technology. This follows the 2003 Product of the Year award for the EL5166 and EL5167 1.4GHz Current-Feedback Op Amps. The analogZONE is an on-line source for electronics design engineers working in the fields of power management, audio/video, acquisition, connectivity, networking, wireless applications and green engineering. Editor-in-chief, Paul McGoldrick, and other ZONE editors selected the 2004 winners. In analogZONE's press release on the awards, McGoldrick commented that product winners "will have significant bottom line impact for the companies involved because of the strong technical merit, design innovation and marketability of the products." "We're very pleased to receive these awards and the recognition for Intersil's innovation in bringing significant new high performance analog solutions to the market," said Simon Prutton, vice president of marketing for Intersil's Analog Signal Processing Analog signal processing is any signal processing conducted on analog signals by analog means. "Analog" indicates something that is mathematically represented as a set of continuous values. This differs from "digital" which uses a series of discrete quantities to represent signal. Products Group. "Both of these parts are industry-leading and join rapidly expanding product portfolios. Both products demonstrate the advanced technology and design expertise that Intersil leverages in its new product development efforts." About the EL5367 Intersil introduced the world's fastest triple amplifier and the first one to break the 1GHz amplifier barrier last October. With a total supply current of just 25mA and the ability to run from a single supply voltage, the EL5367 offers very high performance for extremely little power consumption. It drives resolutions greater than QXGA (Quantum XGA) A screen resolution of 2048x1536 pixels. See PC display modes.  (2048 pixel x 1536 pixel video graphics standard) at a gain of 2 for very high-speed video and monitor applications. "The EL5367 was a world's first for Intersil and joins a strong portfolio of video products that bring high levels of performance to the industry," Prutton said. "Our customers are always working to achieve ever greater resolutions and Intersil, with this and other high performance video amps, is constantly developing new products to meet this need." The EL5367 is a current-feedback operational amplifier The current feedback operational amplifier or CFB op-amp is a type of electronic amplifier whose inverting input is sensitive to current, rather than to voltage as in a conventional voltage-feedback (VFB) operational amplifier. that offers a wide -3dB bandwidth of 1GHz and a low supply current of 8.5mA per amplifier. The EL5367 works with supply voltages ranging from a single 5V to 12V supply and it is also capable of swinging to within 1V of either supply on the output. This device is ideal for driving high-resolution video. With a gain of 2 and bandwidth of 800MHz (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. on all three channels, this device will easily drive a double-terminated 75ohm 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. cable. About the ISL60002 Intersil announced the ISL60002 series voltage references last fall to bring the precision performance standards previously available only in laboratory equipment to portable and battery-operated systems. The new 1.25V and 2.5V parts are important additions to Intersil's rapidly expanding line of ultra-low power precision voltage references. "The ISL60002 series are the first high-precision voltage references that make it practical to leave the reference continuously biased, even in battery-operated circuits," said Prutton. "Band-gap and buried-zener based references from our competitors often burn ten times as much power and still don't offer equivalent accuracy. These parts enable performance previously only achievable by line-powered instrumentation to be reached by battery-powered products for the first time." The low, sub-1.5 microwatt mi·cro·watt n. A unit of power equal to one millionth (10-6) of a watt. power consumption (400nA @ 2.7V(IN)), allows the voltage references to remain powered on continuously by the system battery. By operating the reference continuously biased, 12- to 24-bit battery powered data acquisition circuits (that normally disable the reference between conversions) can now provide the highest accuracy and lowest possible long-term drift by eliminating the effects of initial accuracy changes and time delay as the reference settles to its final value. Applications for the ISL60002 series include high resolution A/Ds & D/As, digital meters, bar code scanners, mobile communications, PDAs and notebooks, battery management systems and medical systems. About Intersil Intersil Corporation, a NASDAQ 100 Index Nasdaq 100 Index A market-capitalization-weighted index of the largest and most active nonfinancial domestic and international issues listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. company, is a leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog semiconductors. The company's products address three of the industry's fastest growing markets: flat panel displays, optical storage (CD and DVD recordable) and power management. Intersil products include power management devices for battery management, hot-swap and hot-plug controllers, linear regulators, supervisory ICs, switching DC-DC DC-DC Direct Current to Direct Current (power conversion) regulators and power MOSFET drivers; optical storage laser diode drivers; DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary line drivers; video and high performance operational amplifiers; data converters; interface ICs; analog switches and multiplexers; crosspoint switches; voice-over-IP devices; and ICs for military, space and rad-hard applications.
