As the market leader in providing Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) solutions, Exar Corporation offers the broadest
line of patented industry-proven product families. Exar’s product line ranges from cost-effective industry-standard devices to high-performance
multi-channel UARTs with a broad range of FIFO depths. Exar’s stand-alone, off-the-shelf UART solutions reduce development time and
provide an immediate competitive advantage in time-to-market and performance capabilities.
Legacy 8-bit UARTs provide parallel-to-serial or serial-to-parallel data conversion over industry standard asynchronous communication data
interfaces such as RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485. In addition to the legacy 8-bit UARTs, Exar also offers I²C/SPI UARTs and conventional PCI
UARTs. Recent innovative UART solutions from Exar include high-performance VLIO UARTs, USB UARTs and PCIe UARTs. Exar UARTs are
found in consumer, industrial, telecommunication, embedded and numerous other applications.
Key Features and Technologies
Pin-to-Pin Migration Path
Exar offers a migration path from legacy UART devices to enhanced
high-performance devices by maintaining pin-to-pin compatibility
whenever possible. This minimizes hardware and software changes
enabling a shorter time-to-market.
Software Compatibility with Previous Generation UARTs
In addition to a pin-to-pin migration path, Exar offers newer UARTs
that are software compatible with previous generation UARTs, thus
simplifying the software driver development. If changes to the software
driver are necessary, in most cases, they are minimal. Software
drivers and source code for various UARTs are available, royalty-free,
from Exar.
Automatic Flow Control
Exar’s enhanced UARTs offer auto RTS/CTS hardware and software
flow control that prevent data loss, thus eliminating the need for retransmission.
FIFO Level Counters
The FIFO level counter feature provides the exact number of bytes
in the FIFO which improves the efficiency of loading data into the TX
FIFO and unloading data out of the RX FIFO.
Programmable Trigger Levels
The Programmable Trigger Level provides the software the flexibility
to optimize the TX and RX trigger levels for the best performance and
throughput. UARTs without the programmable trigger level feature can
only select from a few pre-defined trigger levels.
Low Voltage Operation
Exar offers low voltage UART product families that are capable of
operating down to 1.62V. The lower operating power supply range is 5V Tolerant Inputs
well suited for battery operated systems and handheld devices.
When the UART is operating at a supply voltage of less than 5V, the
inputs can still withstand inputs up to 5V without increasing the power

number of interrupts.
Independent TX/RX Baud Rate Generator
The baud rates of the TX and RX no longer have to be the same.
This new feature in the XR16Mxxx single-channel UARTs allows
different TX and RX baud rates so that the single channel UART can
communicate with different UARTs at the same time.

Intel bus interface vs. Motorola bus interface
The primary difference between the Intel bus interface and the Motorola bus interface is the read and write control lines. For the Intel bus
interface, there are separate control lines for the read and write strobes (IOR# and IOW#). However, the Motorola bus interface only has a
single control line (R/W#).
Software Drivers/Sample Test Programs
Exar’s 8-bit UARTs will work with the standard serial driver in most operating systems. However, software drivers to support Exar’s enhanced
features are available for Windows 95/98, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, CE 4.2, CE 5.0 and CE 6.0 for various UARTs. In addition, VxWorks 5.5, Linux
2.4.x, Linux 2.6.x drivers and sample DOS test programs are available.
8-bit UARTs: “C” UART Product Family
The “C” UART product family is the 5V UART product family. Some UARTs in this product family are 5V only devices, but most UARTs in this family can operate with a 2.97V
supply voltage. The maximum baud rate is up to 6.25Mbps.

8-bit UARTs: “L” UART Product Family
Most UARTs in the “L” UART product family can operate with a supply voltage of 2.25V-5.5V. All UARTs in the “L” UART product family have 5V tolerant inputs so they can
interface with legacy 5V devices but can operate at lower supply voltage. In addition to operating at a lower voltage, the “L” UART product family has a Sleep/PowerSave mode
to minimize the power consumption. The maximum baud rate is up to 6.25Mbps.

CONNECTIVIT Y → UARTs & BRIDGES → GPIO Expanders
The newest product family in Exar’s Connectivity portfolio is the GPIO Expander, offered with either I2C/SMBus or SPI interfaces. The I2C/
SMBus GPIO Expanders are pin and software compatible to existing 8-bit and 16-bit I2C/SMBus GPIO Expanders, but with enhanced features
and functionality. The SPI GPIO Expanders operate with a high speed SPI clock of up to 26MHz.
Individually Programmable
Each GPIO can be individually configured as an input or an output.
In addition, each feature listed below can individually enabled or
disabled for each GPIO.
Stored Interrupt Status
The GPIO Expanders have an interrupt status register which allows the
software in the host controller to easily identify which input generated
the interrupt. The GPIO Expander can also be configured so that the
interrupt status remains in the status register even after the input has

CONNECTIVIT Y → SERIAL TRANSCEIVERS
Exar offers a complete portfolio of RS-232, RS-485, RS-422 and Multiprotocol transceivers with data rates up to 52Mbps. Exar is the market
leader in high-speed RS-485/RS-422 and Multiprotocol transceivers. In addition, Exar offers a broad family of feature-rich RS-232 serial
transceivers.
Exar uses state of the art structures to protect the transceiver pins against ESD of ±15kV without damage. The ESD structures withstand
high ESD in all states: normal operation, shutdown and powered down. After an ESD event, the transceivers keep working without latch-up
or damage. ESD protection can be tested in various ways. The transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are characterized for protection to the
following limits:
• ±15kV using the Human Body Model
• ± 8kV using the Contact Discharge method specified in IEC 61000-4-2
• ±15kV using the Air-Gap Discharge method specified in IEC 61000-4-2
Key Features and Technologies
Pin-to-Pin Compatibility
Exar’s RS-232 and RS-485/422 transceivers are offered in industry
standard packages and pinouts. Therefore, migrating to faster RS232 or RS-485/422 transceivers with additional features can be
accomplished with minimal changes to the design.
Internal Termination
The SP338E and SP339E dual protocol transceivers offer internal
cable termination in RS-485/422 modes. The SP3508, SP508E and
SP510E also offer internal V.11 and V.35 termination networks for
the clock and data lines. Eliminating the external termination greatly
simplifies the system design, resulting in reduced board space and
quicker time to market.
Hot Swap / Power-Up Glitch Protection
This feature prevents random data errors from appearing on the RS485/422 differential pairs due to undefined logic levels during powerup that improperly enable the transceivers.
Auto On-Line® Feature
Auto On-Line saves power by turning off the charge pumps and driver
outputs when the RS-232 inputs see less than valid +/-3V signals (ie.
cable is unplugged). The RS-232 transceiver will automatically wake
up from the low power state when a valid RS-232 voltage is sensed at
the receiver input.
Auto On-Line® Plus Feature
Similar to above, Auto On-Line Plus saves power by turning off the
charge pumps and driver outputs if there are no transitions on the
driver or receiver inputs for 30 seconds. The transceiver returns to
normal operation with a transition on any of the driver or receiver
inputs.
Highly Efficient Charge Pump
The charge pump is used to generate positive and negative signal
voltages for the RS-232 drivers. This enables fully compliant RS-232
and V.28 signals from a single 3.0 or 5.5V power supply. The charge
pumps use four external capacitors to hold and transfer electrical
charge. The patented design uses a unique approach compared to
older less efficient designs.
1/8th Unit Load
A standard RS-485/422 driver can drive up to 32 unit loads. The
1/8th unit load receiver input impedance allows eight times as many
transceivers (up to 256) to be connected in parallel on a communication Industry’s ONLY Single Chip Solutions
line.
Exar is the only one in the industry to offer single chip solutions that
support RS-232, RS-485, RS-449, EIA-530, V.10, V.11, V.28, V.35,

are floating, shorted, or terminated but idle, without the need for any NET1/2 and TBR2 Compliance
external biasing resistors.
SP3508, SP505, SP506, SP507, and SP508E are compliant to NET1/2
and TBR2 requirements.
PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS is widely used in industrial control and automation Slew Rate Limited Options
applications and is ruggedized for use in harsh operating conditions. Slew limited drivers minimize EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)
Exar’s products are PROFIBUS compliant and feature high differential and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables. This
