Intersil Introduces New Op Amp Series, Including World's Fastest Op Amp in SC-70 Packaging
— New Elantec EL5167 provides 1.4 GHz of bandwidth and 6000 V/us slew rate in a 2mm x 2mm package
MILPITAS, CA, October 21, 2003 Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), 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 portfolio.
The Elantec® EL516X family includes the EL5167, featuring 1.4 Gigahertz (GHz) bandwidth and 6000 volts per microsecond (V/us) slew rate and the EL5165, a 600 MHz 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 amplifiers; test and instrumentation equipment; and current-to-voltage converters.
