Elantec Introduces New Dual 12MHz Buffer

EL5221C in SOT23-6 buffers reference voltages in TFT-LCD applications

MILPITAS, CALIFORNIA, June 22, 2000 -- Elantec Semiconductor, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELNT), a leader in high-performance analog ICs, today introduced a new dual rail-to-rail buffer, the EL5221C. This ultra low power design, available in the tiny SOT23-6 package, is ideal for buffering reference voltage in TFT-LCD applications.

The EL5221C features a bandwidth of 12MHz and a slew-rate of 10V/ms, while operating on just 600mA of supply current. To enable easy placement and layout routing, both inputs are located on one side of the IC, with outputs positioned on the opposite side. The EL5221C is priced at $1.51 in 1000-piece quantities.

Michael Jennings, Director of Strategic Marketing for Video and Amplifier Products at Elantec said, "The EL5221C is the latest in a complete family of amplifier and buffer products from Elantec targeted at LCD applications. The SOT23-6 package and buffer design of the EL5221C reduce component count and board space requirements, making the EL5221C ideal for laptop LCD applications."
