electronica - Intersil - Kenet ADC line

“Intersil remains committed to key strategic acquisitions to broaden our product portfolio,” said Dave Bell, Intersil’s Chief Executive Officer. “Kenet has developed the world’s highest performance analogue-to-digital converters with power consumption at a fraction of those currently on the market. This gives Intersil important technology leadership and access to many previously un-served markets.”

Kenet’s innovative FemtoCharge CMOS technology yields high performance and ultra-low power ADCs in an extremely small die area. The size and power advantages of Kenet’s data converters enable increased functionality in a variety of industrial and communications products such as portable digital oscilloscopes and software defined radios.

“The acquisition of Kenet immediately gives Intersil leadership in high-speed [ADC] markets,” said Bell. “As more and more products use digital signal processing technology, there’s a growing need for high-speed data converters to bridge to the analogue world.”
