Intersil, a new semiconductor company with an industry leading stature.

A new name, a new company, a fresh perspective - with an established portfolio of next generation products. With our new status as an independent semiconductor company, we've gained flexibility, responsiveness and a renewed customer focus. We've strengthened our commitment to delivering advanced architectures for your next- generation systems for today's important markets - the Internet infrastructure, communications, power control and satellite communications.

The PRISM™ WLAN chipset, our flagship product, is a high-speed, integrated chip set for wireless networking and is being used by networking and telecommunications industry heavyweights such as 3Com Corporation, Compaq Computer Corp., Nokia, Nortel Networks, and Samsung Corporation.

We have also created advanced solutions for power semiconductor applications with advanced integrated circuits (ICs) and discretes for today's demanding Pentium™-class microprocessors and hot swap file server and Device Bay applications. We will continue to build on our technology leadership in high speed IGBTs, radiation-hardened discretes, and automotive/industrial MOSFETs."

Our radiation-hardened ICs and discrete power provide the most complete and reliable solution for satellite applications. Our rad-hard power management products provide increased reliability and weight savings in distributed power solutions for space-based satellite communications infrastructure.

As part of Harris Corporation (we were formerly Harris Semiconductor), we built a solid reputation for delivering world-class semiconductor products in analog, mixed-signal, power and radiation-hardened technology.

As Intersil, our flexibility, our responsiveness, a strengthened commitment to customer service will mean advanced architecture solutions and a quicker time to market for your system and more success for you.
