Exar Launches AEC-Q100 Qualified Family of 40V PoL Regulators

FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 1, 2017

The XR76203/5/8-Q family features Exar's proprietary emulated current mode Constant On-Time (COT) control loop. It provides fast transient response with ceramic output capacitors and excellent line and load regulation while simplifying system design. The family also offers a host of supervisory and protection features for proper sequencing, safe operation under abnormal operating conditions and light load operation.

This 40V regulator family has met the AEC-Q100 qualification requirements for Temperature Grade 1 (-40°C to 125°C), HBM ESD Class Level 2 and CDM ESD Class Level C4B. In addition, the automotive grade DC/DC buck regulators are offered in a 5mm x 5mm QFN with wettable flanks allowing for 100% automatic optical inspection of solder wetting post-assembly.

"After the success of our XRP76203/05/08 in after-market car infotainment systems, the AEC-Q100 qualification allows us to expand into the automotive OEM market," said Tuomas Hollman, Exar's vice president, power management products. "Today's introduction of the AEC-Q100 qualified 40V regulator family illustrates Exar's commitment to providing high-performance, high-quality products for the automotive industry."

The XR76205-Q is available now in a RoHS compliant, green/halogen free, space-saving 5mm x 5mm, 30-pin QFN package with wettable flanks. Pricing starts at $3.45 in quantities of 1,000.
