Exar’s PowerXR Digital Power Solutions
Exar’s PowerXR ICs integrate the best of both worlds; the low cost and flexibility of digital power control as well as the robust power capabilities of high performance analog power switches. PowerXR products reduce development time from weeks to hours, enabling a significant time-to-market advantage for system design engineers.
Additionally, Exar’s Digital Power Studio™ is an easy to use software environment, empowering engineers to create complex sequencing schemes and power systems, and modify voltage, current or other parameters in seconds.
