Intersil Launches the World's Lowest Power Low-Noise Reference

¡ª Intersil's ISL21007 Combines Output Voltage Noise of 4¦ÌVpp (0.1Hz to 10Hz) and Supply Current Consumption of Just 150¦ÌA (Max, Over Temperature)

MILPITAS, CA, July 03, 2007 ¨C Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: ISIL) today announced the ISL21007 voltage reference. This reference, part of Intersil¡¯s newly launched pinPOINT™ Precision Analog Product Line, delivers low-noise performance at 4¦ÌVpp (0.1Hz to 10Hz) and low supply current at 150¦ÌA (max over temperature). This device, with an input voltage range from 2.7V to 5.5V is an ideal choice for portable instrumentation applications where power and noise are a concern.

Intersil¡¯s ISL21007 sets a new standard for power savings among low-noise voltage references on the market. Earlier this year, Intersil¡¯s ISL21009 set the industry standard at 180¦ÌA (max over temperature) with 4¦ÌVpp (0.1Hz to 10Hz). The ISL21009 has an input voltage range of 3.5V to 16.5V and is designed for industrial applications that operate with a 15V supply rail. Both of these devices consume at least four times less supply current than any competitive low-noise voltage reference.

The superior performance of the ISL21007 doesn¡¯t end with the power consumption to noise performance ratio. In keeping with Intersil¡¯s pinPOINT™ product line¡¯s commitment to unwavering accuracy over time and temperature, this device delivers guaranteed initial accuracy of ¡À0.5mV and less than 3ppm/¡ãC of temperature drift. This enables the ISL21007 to deliver precise measurements for data acquisition applications in noisy environments with severe temperature variations.
