"We are very proud that Intersil's ISL317XE family has been selected as an Ultimate Products of the Year Finalist by the readers of EE Times", said Simon Prutton, Vice President and General Manager of Intersil's analogue and Mixed Signal products group.
"Intersil consistently works to design products that illustrate the company's strengths in high-performance analogue innovation, and we are very happy that this family of transceivers is recognised as a standout among the competition".
The ISL317XE family provides maximum reliability of exposed transmitter and receiver pins with IEC61000 ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection that allows customers to develop the most rugged systems possible.
+15kV ESD protection on the I/O pins and better than 7kV HBM on all other pins in Intersil's ISL317XE family provide a high degree of reliability in both manufacturing and end consumer applications and eliminates the need for external protection circuitry.
The devices come in space-saving MSOP (mini small-outline package) sizes that allow designs to drop old 8- and 14-lead SOIC transceivers.
The 8-lead MSOP package provides a 50% board space savings over 8-lead SOIC packages and Intersil's 10-lead MSOP package saves 70% over old 14-lead SOIC package options.
