Intersil Introduces World's Fastest and Only Triple 1 GHz Current Feedback Amplifier
-- EL5367 is an ideal choice for many low-power and high bandwidth applications such as portable, handheld or battery-powered equipment
MILPITAS, CA, October 21, 2004 Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog solutions, introduced today the worlds fastest triple amplifier and the first one to break the 1 GHz amplifier barrier. With a total supply current of just 25 mA and the ability to run from a single supply voltage from 5 V to 12 V, the EL5367 offers very high performance for extremely little power consumption. The new EL5367 drives resolutions greater than QXGA (2048 pixel x 1536 pixel video graphics standard) at Gain of 2 for very high-speed video and monitor applications.
This performance leading triple amplifier is a direct response to our customers requests for more performance with lower power," said Sameer Vuyyuru, Intersil's director of marketing for High Speed Analog Products. " As our display partners strive towards ever greater resolutions, they can rely on Intersil to provide the silicon solutions they need."
The EL5367 is a current-feedback 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 and it is also capable of swinging to within 1 V of either supply on the output. Because of their current-feedback topology, the EL5367 does not have the normal gain-bandwidth product associated with voltage-feedback operational amplifiers. This device is ideal for driving high-resolution video. With a gain of 2 bandwidth of 800 MHz on all three channels this device will drive a double terminated 75 ohm cable easily.
This combination of high bandwidth and low power, together with aggressive pricing make the EL5367 is an ideal choice for many low-power and high bandwidth applications such as portable, handheld or battery-powered equipment used for high speed video and monitor applications, as well as a number of RF and IF frequency designs.
EL5367 Key Features
- Gain of 1 bandwidth = 1 GHz
- Gain of 2 bandwidth = 800 MHz into a 150 ohm load
- 6000 V/us slew rate (typical)
- Single and dual supply operation from 5 V to 12 V
- Low supply current - 8.5 mA a channel
- Good DC performance Vos less than 5 mV
- 16-lead QSOP packaging 600 MHz and 200 MHz versions also available
The EL5367 is now available in 16-lead QSOP packaging for a price of $2.99 in 1,000 unit quantities.
