About Intersil Corporation

Intersil Corporation is a global technology leader specializing in the design and manufacture of high performance analog semiconductors. Based in Milpitas, California, Intersil’s mission is to become a premier high performance analog company. Built on a solid foundation, with many years of analog experience, the company’s continued focus on leading in attractive high performance analog markets — while increasing profitability and cash flow — will provide Intersil a sustainable long-term model for success.

Intersil began its transformation into a high performance analog company in 2003 with the divestiture of its wireless business. In May 2004, Intersil acquired BitBlitz Communications, and most recently merged with standard analog products leader Xicor, Inc.

Intersil products address three of the industry’s fastest growing markets — flat panel displays, optical storage (for CD and DVD recordable products) and power management. Our product strategy is focused on broadening its portfolio of Application Specific Standard Products (ASSP) and General Purpose Proprietary Products (GPPP) targeted for four high-growth markets — Communications, Computing, High End Consumer and Industrial.

Intersil's leadership products include amplifiers, analog front ends, communication interfaces, data converters, digital potentiometers, display solutions, DSL solutions, optical storage products, power management products, power sequencers, real time clocks, smart batteries, switches/MUX's, VoIP products and ICs for military, space and rad-hard applications.
