Intersil Introduces World's Most Accurate High Speed Op Amps
— New Elantec EL515x series features 0.3 mV output offset voltage combined with exceptional AC performance
MILPITAS, CA, January 15, 2004 Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog solutions, today introduced six new high-accuracy, high-speed amplifiers for measurement and data acquisition applications that require 0.01% accuracy or more.
The Elantec® EL515x series of op amps operate off split +/-5V or single 5 V to 12 V supplies. This family of devices sets a new standard for expectations of DC accuracy in high-speed op amps. With a worst-case voltage offset at under 1 mV and typically 0.3 mV, these devices also provide 0.1 uA maximum input bias current over a wide temperature range. The combination of low offsets, minimal bias currents, with a range of devices focusing on low power consumption at one extreme and ultra high-speed at the other extreme will enable a wide variety of sensors in medical, automotive, bar code scanning, and instrumentation applications.
Prior to the release of these parts, high speed amplifiers typically sacrificed DC performance but we now offer the flexibility to handle high bandwidth signals at high gains while maintaining 0.01% DC accuracy," said Sameer Vuyyuru, Intersil's director of marketing for video and op amps. "The EL515x series is an illustration of our commitment to serve every high speed amplifier application.
