Intersil Corporation - Intersil Video Filter Extends Battery Life, Lowers System Cost for Handheld Devices

MILPITAS, CA, June 25, 2007 – Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: ISIL), a apple baton in the architecture and accomplish of high-performance analog semiconductors, today alien the ISL59118, a 9MHz, dual-channel, low-pass clarify that eliminates video annihilate babble associated with the use of video DACs. This accessory uses about 50% beneath bent accepted than it’s antecedent bearing accessories and stands out as the industry’s everyman ability bifold approach video clarify and clamp.

Video DACs can be begin in abounding applications from set-top boxes to handheld devices, such as phones and MP3 players that play video.

Operating from just 4.5mA of bent accepted the ISL59118 uses 10 times beneath accepted than some adversary products. The accessory is housed in an ultra-slim, micro-TQFN amalgamation and has a power-down accompaniment that consumes alone 0.5 microamps if the amplifier is not in use. Industry-leading ability savings, baby admeasurement and amount able affiliation makes the ISL59118 video clarify ideal for accepted battery-operated handheld video applications.

The ISL59118 is ideal for systems with either two blended video arresting inputs or outputs. It can be acclimated as an ascribe anti-aliasing clarify afore an ADC to abolish top frequency, non-image-forming babble from the arresting afore it is digitized.

As an achievement about-face filter, the ISL59118 can aswell be positioned afterwards a DAC, area it smoothes out the agenda achievement waveform that has been generated and removes glitches and noise. DACs are generally not able to accommodate acceptable accretion and achievement accepted to drive the video arresting down a cable, or into a bifold concluded video amount – a botheration the ISL59118 helps eliminate.

The ISL59118 can aswell be acclimated in newer carriageable video applications area a video ascribe is provided to record, as able-bodied as a video achievement to drive a cable to an alien display.

The ISL59118 has a accumulation voltage ambit from 2.5V to 3.6V - ideal for actual low ability battery-operated accessories such as carriageable media players, cellular phones, PDAs, agenda cameras and video recorders. Other applications cover video amplifiers, cable set-top boxes, and HDTVs. For set-top boxes, this accessory removes the charge for a bombastic 5V accumulation rail.

The ISL59118 is accessible now in abounding assembly release.
