semiconductors for four high-growth markets — Communications, Computing, High End Consumer and Industrial. Some of the many end applications in which Intersil analog ICs can be found include desktop and notebook PCs, cell phones, portable media players and other handheld devices, video distribution systems, video displays, medical equipment, military and space electronics, and industrial systems.Headquartered in Milpitas, California, Intersil had revenues of $757M for 2007. Its global operations include a staff of over 1,400 employees spread out among its 57 design, manufacturing, and sales locations.

Those three companies would eventually come together as
Harris Semiconductor . Harris spun off its entire semiconductor division in 1999 and Intersil was re-born with the largest IPO in American semiconductor industry history. Over the past seven years, Intersil has focused on growth and opportunities in the “pure-play,” high-performance analog semiconductor market.A creation of Intersil (as Harris Semiconductor) is the PRISM line of
Wi-Fi hardware: that group of products was sold toGlobespanVirata in 2003, and is currently maintained byConexant . Intersil is the present manufacturer of the venerable RCA (CDP)1802microprocessor (aka RCA COSMAC), a CPU traditionally much used in space applications.External links
