--Intersil/Zilker Labs Digital Power Management Expert Chris Young to Participate in Panel Discussion on “Power Design for Economic and Ecological Success” --

--A Preview of Easy-to-Use Power Design Development Tools--

Milpitas, CA, May 6, 2009 – Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: ISIL), will unveil to the media the first of several innovative digital power management products based on its patented Zilker Labs Digital-DC™ technology. In addition, the company will highlight an advanced power module and powerful design software. Power Management expert Chris Young will participate in a panel discussion on power systems design.

Editors are invited to meet with Intersil and Zilker spokespersons to learn about:

• The new  ZL2008, a flexible building block for DC power that can be easily adapted to designs ranging from a single or multiphase power supply operating from a 3.3 V  to 12 V input, eliminating  the need for complicated power supply managers.
• The ISL8201M Power Module, which allows designers to implement a complete power supply using minimal components, which saves board space and reduces bill of material (BOM) costs.
• Demos of Intersil’s PowerNavigator™ Evaluation and CompZL™ development tools
• Digital power management expert Chris Young will present at a panel entitled “Power Design for Economic and Ecological Success.” The panel discussion will take place on Wednesday, 13 May between 1600 and 1700 at Hall 12, Stand 363.
