FREMONT, Calif. -- Exar Corporation (Nasdaq: EXAR), a leading provider of high-performance, mixed-signal silicon solutions for the worldwide communications infrastructure extended its product offerings today with the introduction of a new low power, high-speed reference clock and crystal multiplier for frequency stabilization. Joining an industry-leading transmission product portfolio, this new device offers customers high-frequency -- up to 650MHz, Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) interface, and reduced accumulated jitter (16 rms at 622 MHz) all at very low power dissipation levels (80 mW typ at 3.3V). The XRT8020 targets manufacturers of communications equipment, and hybrid VCXO component manufacturers (smaller, specialized function units) for telecommunications applications at Gigabit Ethernet and SONET/SDH speeds. "The XRT8020 is an extension to our growing product family," said Dr. Roubik Gregorian, senior VP and general manager Communications Division, CTO. "This clock/frequency multiplier can be designed into numerous telecommunications systems requiring high-speed clock synchronization. Because the device is highly-integrated, it offers leading features and performance in a small silicon footprint, yet maintains very low drawn power." Exar Corp.
