FREMONT, California, November 8, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Exar Corporation will be showcasing its Power Management and Interface products at electronica 2010 in Munich, Germany. Exar products can be seen November 9 - 12, 2010 in Hall A4, Stand 260. These products and the demonstrations highlight Exar's continuing focus on delivering high value differentiated silicon and software solutions.

Power Management Products

Demonstrated for the first time at European electronics event, Exar's PowerXR family of digital step down controllers will be shown to booth attendees. These programmable power ICs integrate the best of both worlds - the low cost and flexibility of digital power management and control, and the robust power capabilities of analog switching power supplies. PowerXR products reduce development time from weeks to hours enabling a significant time-to-market advantage. PowerXR devices permit real-time power system adjustments during design, in response to changing requirements or even after field-deployment. In addition, several evaluation boards for Exar's LED drivers will be on display including the SP76xx series high power step down LED drivers as well as the XRP6840. Also, the recently announced single-channel XRP6658 (1A 1.5MHz Synchronous PFM/PWM) and XRP6668 (Dual Channel 1A/1A 1.5MHz Synchronous PFM/PWM) step-down regulator evaluation boards will be at the booth.

Interface Products

Exar's market leading Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) solutions will be on display at the booth. This will include the industry's fastest Full-Speed USB UARTs the XR21Vxx series including the recently announced single-channel XR21B1411 with +/- 15kV HBM ESD protection supporting up to 12Mbps serial data rate. Also at the booth will be a full complement of Exar's PCIe UARTs (single, dual, and eight-channel). Additionally, several of Exar's market proven RS-232/RS-485 serial transceivers will be on display.
