Search Tips

Part Number Search:

This search function will return a list of part numbers based upon the characters entered into the search box. A minimum of three (3) characters is required to initiate a search, and the characters * or % can be used as wildcard characters, i.e. "82*37". The search function will return Intersil device numbers based upon the presence of the character string in the device or marketing part number, or in the SMD corresponding to that device.

Returned information for each part number will include the device number, a description and a link to the product data sheet (small PDF icon). In addition, the device number itself is linked to its device information page which will link to all documentation associated with that part number including data sheets, application notes, evaluation kits, etc.

Full Site Keyword Search:

This search function returns any document in which the desired part number, word or phrase appears.  All documents on the web site are included in this search.  There will be many more documents returned as a result of this search.   However. the product or subject of the search may not be the main subject of the document.  

Procedure: to use this search page, you can look for a single word. Or, use the tips below to refine your search to find more specific results.

• When searching for a particular part number (e.g. HI5702), the prefix (e.g. 'HI') is required for optimal Entire Site Search performance. If you know only the root part number (e.g. 5702) and are not sure of the proper prefix, use Product Search first. Enter the root part number into the Product Search, hit Search and the part number will be returned to you with the prefix.
• When looking for a family of products, say all members of the HI family, use HI*. The * is a wildcard that will aid you in finding all products with a shared element.
• Look for a phrase.
  Example - type battery management to find the exact phrase battery management. Since the search is not case-sensitive, this is equivalent to Battery Management.
• Look for two or more words at once by using the AND operator.
  Example - type battery AND management to find documents that have both the word battery and the word management anywhere.
• Look for words that are close to each other by using the NEAR operator instead of the AND operator. When you use NEAR, the closer together the words are, the higher the rank of the page, so the higher it appears in the list of search results.
  Example - type battery NEAR management to match documents where the word battery is within 50 words of the word management.
• Look for similar words by using the OR operator. Note that if you don't use the OR operator and search using multiple words, the words are treated as a phrase.
  Example - type battery OR management to find the word battery or the word management, but not necessarily both.
• Limit your search by using the AND NOT operator to exclude words.
  Example - type battery AND NOT management to find all instances of battery, as long as battery is not followed by the phrase management.
• Use double quotes if you want to use AND, OR, NOT, or NEAR literally.
  Example - type "battery near management" to find documents with the phrase battery near management. Without the double quotes, this query would use the NEAR operator instead of the phrase.
• Use a single asterisk (*) to look for words that begin with the same letters.
  Example - type key* to find key, keying, keyhole, keyboard, and so on.
• Use a double asterisk (**) to look for all forms of a word.
  Example - type power** to match power, powering, powered, and powerful.
