Intersil Presented with Two analogZONE Product of the Year Awards
— Intersil's ISL55008/11 Low-Power RF Gain Blocks and ISL54415/6/7 Dual 2:1 Multiplexers Selected as 2006 Product of the Year Award Winners
MILPITAS, CA, January 25, 2007 Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance analog semiconductors, was presented with two 2006 Product of the Year awards by analogZONE, the premier source for electronic design engineers. The winners were selected by analogZONE based on the products technical merit, design innovation, anticipated market success, and likely contribution to the field of analog engineering and product design.
Intersils ISL55008 and ISL55011 low-power RF gain blocks won the "Best RF Consumer Gain Block" award. The ISL54415, ISL54416 and ISL54417 dual 2:1 multiplexers won the Best Connector-Eliminating Solution for Portables award.
"We are honored that analogZONE has recognized Intersil with two Product of the Year awards," said Simon Prutton, vice president and general manager of Intersils Analog and Mixed Signal products group. This is great recognition of the innovative nature and high performance of Intersils products. Im very proud of the accomplishments of Intersils development team and the continued commitment to differentiate our products from the competition.
About the Best RF Consumer Gain Block Award Winner ISL55008/11
Intersils ISL550xx family has integrated ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection up to 3kV human body model. These products are tested and guaranteed to 3kV. This critical feature, along with the self-biasing architecture and multiple impedance options, make these devices extremely easy to use in the ISM band or in satellite receivers and LNBs (low- noise block down-converters).

About the Best Connector-Eliminating Solution for Portables Award Winner ISL54415/6/7
The ISL54415/6/7 enable transmission of quality audio, video, and high-speed USB data through a single input/output port, eliminating up to two ports on each portable device. They combine high-speed, low-capacitance switches for data signals with low-distortion, low-capacitance switches for audio and video, so they can be used for data downloading or for A/V playback through a single port without impacting performance in either mode of operation. This increases available board space, reduces external components, and lowers the manufacturing cost of portable devices that need to connect to other equipment such as TVs, flat screen monitors, headphones, speakers and PCs.
