Intersil Introduces World's First High Speed 550 MHz Triple Differential Drivers and Receivers
— New Elantec EL537x differential drivers and receivers are the world’s fastest, yet reduce power consumption by over 50% and reduce space occupied by 66%
MILPITAS, CA, November 3, 2003 -- Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL) a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog solutions, today introduced six new differential amplifiers designed to drive video and other analog signals. The six new parts are the latest additions to Intersil's rapidly expanding high-speed operational amplifier portfolio.
The Elantec EL537x family includes the EL5374, a 550 MHz bandwidth triple differential driver that consumes only 12.5 mA/channel and the EL5373, a fixed gain-of-2 version of the EL5374 for double terminated line driving. The EL5375 is a triple differential receiver that operates off only 9 mA/channel.
Intersil also introduces the EL5371, a 250 MHz, 8 mA/channel triple differential driver along with its fixed gain-of-2 version, the EL5370. The corresponding receiver is the EL5372, a 250 MHz bandwidth, 6 mA/channel device.
With this new family of devices, Intersil aims to provide ease of design through better gain matching, lower power consumption and fixed gain options when compared with discrete differential drivers and receivers," said Sameer Vuyyuru, Intersil's director of marketing for video and op amps. "When used in conjunction with each other, our new, high speed triple differential drivers and receivers provide the user a complete solution. Our new EL537x family of triple differential drivers and receivers will find a perfect home in driving video or high density communication channels over CAT-5 or other twisted pair cables."
