The ISL78010 provides enhanced reliability against transients with its higher voltage capability that protec...

Intersil has introduced a family of rail-to-rail input/output instrumentation amplifiers that includes the ISL28470, the industry’s first quad instrumentation amplifier. This one-of-a-kind device features the industry’s lowest offset voltage, best CMRR performance and rail-to-rail input and output capability. The ISL28470 instrumentation amplifier, part of Intersil’s new pinPOINT™ precision analogue product line, delivers exceptional ac...

Intersil Corporation has announced a new family of power-efficient, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifiers and comparators that includes the new industry leader in power efficiency. The ISL28194 boasts the industry’s best supply current rating of just 330nA typical and 450nA maximum – less than half the supply current consumption of any competitive device.

Part of its newly launched pinPOINT™ Precision Analogue Product Line, the ISL21007 reference from Intersil delivers low-noise performance at 4μVpp (0.1Hz to 10Hz) and low supply current at 150μA (max over temperature). With an input voltage range from 2.7V to 5.5V, the device is an ideal choice for portable instrumentation applications where power and noise are a concern.

As the industry’s first ultra-low noise, single-supply op amps, Intersil’s ISL28190, ISL28290, ISL28191 and ISL28291 allow designers to simplify designs by achieving noise performance previously only attained with dual supply devices. This, along with the industry’s best harmonic distortion (THD+N) at 0.00017% (ISL28X90) and 0.00018% (ISL28X91) make this family of rail-to-rail output op amps ideally suited for noise-sensitive audio, medica...

Intersil has introduced a 2.5A, wide input voltage synchronous buck regulator that greatly reduces noise and EMI filter requirements through programmable switching frequency and external synchronisation. The integrated switching MOSFETs and a thermally enhanced compact 4 x 4mm QFN package make the ISL8502 an ideal fit for 5V/12Vin space-critical applications.

Intersil has introduced the ISL59118, a 9MHz, dual-channel, low-pass filter that eliminates video glitch noise associated with the use of video DACs. The device uses nearly 50% less bias current than previous generation devices and stands out as the industry’s lowest power dual channel video filter and clamp. Video DACs can be found in many applications from set-top boxes to handheld devices, such as phones and MP3 players that play video.
