Intersil has announced the promotion of Kent Chon to the position of vice president of sales, Asia Pacific, located at Intersil’s sales office in Seoul, Korea. Chon has worked for Intersil for the past four years, joining the company as country manager for Korea after Intersil acquired Elantec in 2002.

Replacing one of the last remaining mechanical stages in a TFT-LCD assembly, Intersil’s ISL45041 is a 7-bit, non-volatile programmable Vcom calibrator with I2C interface for setting backplane common voltage in thin film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs). The device is designed to reduce the flicker of an LCD panel by adjusting the Vcom voltage during production, effectively replacing the mechanical potentiometers normally needed to...

Intersil will present its key analogue experts during a five-city tour in China to share the latest analogue technology at five free, live seminars to be held in Shenzhen, Xiamen, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Wuhan. ‘The Analogue Authority’ is the theme of this year’s analogue seminar hosted by Intersil. Presented by Intersil’s analogue experts, the one-day intensive analogue seminars will take place from June 26 through July 5, 2006 in China...

Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance analogue solutions, today introduced six new RF amplifiers in its ISL550xx family for use in satellite receivers and ISM (industry, scientific and medical) band applications. The amplifiers have integrated ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection up to 3kV human body model, and are available in multiple impedance options to eliminate the need for...

A triple-channel, video analogue front end IC from Intersil provides what is said to be the industry¹s highest speeds along with continuously controlled offset voltages, so designers do not have to calibrate offset error out of their system on an AFE-by-AFE basis. The device¹s digital phase locked loop includes headswitching support, enabling high-performance images even under the worst-case scenario of digitising inputs from a high-definiti...

A triple-channel multiplexer for video switching from Intersil has been designed with what is said to be the industry¹s highest bandwidth and a slew rate that enables exceptional bandwidth even at the high levels typically associated with video signals.

Intersil’s ISL54400, ISL54401 and ISL54402 are said to be the first commercially available audio/data switches in the industry to provide both low-distortion audio and USB switching capabilities. Combining data and audio switches eliminates either the USB or headphone connector in devices such as portable MP3 players and camera phones, providing cost savings. Also, automatic USB cable detection and the integration of external components assoc...

Intersil has named Andrew Rhind as VP and general manager of the company’s Consumer Power products group, which markets high-performance power solutions for the consumer electronics market.

A highly integrated, single supply video driver from Intersil has an 8 MHz low-pass filter that removes GSM noise from the video band, and also serves as an anti-aliasing filter. The ISL59111 also provides the added benefit of seeing input signals below ground.

Intersil's latest single-phase buck voltage regulator is designed to power next-generation graphics processing units (GPUs) or graphics cores used on Intel Santa Rosa platforms. The device reduces power consumption and enhances the performance of the GPU by dynamically changing output voltage and operation modes corresponding to the advanced GPU control protocol.
