Intersil Introduces Industry's Fastest Triple Current Feedback Amplifiers
— New Elantec EL536x series features bandwidths up to 600MHz~— CFA family also delivers fast slew rates up to 4500 V/us
MILPITAS, CA, February 19, 2004 Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog solutions, today announced three new triple high-speed current feedback amplifiers (CFAs). The latest addition to Intersils new high-speed operational amplifier portfolio, the Elantec® EL536x family includes 200 Megahertz (MHz), 400 MHz, and 600 MHz bandwidth triple current feedback amplifiers. The devices are designed for high-resolution display, RGB video and other high performance video applications.
With a power consumption of 2.5 mA for the three current feedback blocks (EL5360), these devices deliver the most AC performance per amplifier available from any CFAs in the industry, while maintaining excellent DC performance, with offset voltages less than 5 mV.
The newest members of the Elantec op amp family are designed to meet the requirements of high resolution display interfaces, said Sameer Vuyyuru, Intersils director of marketing for video and op amps. Our new EL536x family of triple current feedback amplifiers satisfies the demand for high bandwidth with low noise and, most importantly, controlled pulse response. These new devices power consumption is in most cases less than any three individual amplifiers combined. By virtue of their monolithic architecture, their gain matching is exceptional.
