Intersil Introduces World's Fastest Low Noise Amplifier
— Six new op amps introduced including the EL5132, which provides 2.8 GHz gain bandwidth with flat band noise of less than 0.9 nV/rt-Hz
MILPITAS, CA, December 9, 2003 Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog solutions, today introduced six new low noise amplifiers. The six new parts are the latest additions to Intersil's rapidly expanding high speed operational amplifier portfolio.
The Elantec EL513x family includes the EL5132, a 2.8 GHz gain-bandwidth device with flat band noise at an industry-leading 0.9 nV/rt-Hz, and device-stable at gains of greater than or equal to 10. The EL5132 also features a 1/f corner frequency below 1 kHz and current noise of 4.9 pA/rt-Hz.
The EL5132 represents an architectural breakthrough since it keeps the noise down while consuming a low current of only 11 mA," said Sameer Vuyyuru, Intersil's director of marketing for video and op amps. "Our new EL513x family of low noise amplifiers has already evoked tremendous interest in instrumentation, communications receiver, and pre-amplifier applications. High speed test and instrumentation is another rapidly growing space and Intersil aims to provide solutions for these technically challenging and exciting markets."
Other devices in the family include: the EL5130 and EL5131 are 1.1 GHz gain bandwidth parts with 1.8 nV/rt-Hz which operate off only 3.5 mA and are device-stable at gains of 5 or above; the EL5134 and EL5135 are 1.3 GHz gain-bandwidth devices with 1.9 nV/rt-Hz which operate off only 6.7 mA and are device-stable at gains of 5 or above.
