-- Recognizing and Enhancing Intersil's Technical Excellence

MILPITAS, CA, February 22, 2006 – Intersil Corporation, a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance analog solutions, today named Bob Isham and Jason Lin to the position of Fellow, Intersil’s highest technical position. Intersil’s Fellows program is designed to foster technical excellence throughout the company by formally recognizing the company’s top technical contributors and establishing them as role models, mentors and leaders of the wider Intersil technical community.

Intersil has selected two new members to this high technical honor through a careful evaluation process. The company selects individuals who have contributed to technical excellence, taken leadership roles in the technical community and achieved individual accomplishments important to the company’s technical success. Also considered were each person’s contributions to patent development; their technical publishing and speaking accomplishments; and their involvement in industry organizations, consortia and technical conferences.

“These two individuals embody the technical innovation and drive that’s necessary in our industry,” said Rich Beyer, Intersil’s CEO. “By sharing their analog expertise with the technical community, they continue to expand Intersil’s knowledge base and they directly contribute to Intersil’s success in growing its business. I’m very proud of the work that Bob and Jason have done in their respective areas that enables Intersil to maintain its competitive edge, and am happy to confer the distinctive title of Fellow on them today.”
