The Exar Advantage
If you are building a turnkey Ethernet to SONET/SDH solution with fixed configurations and minimal end-user provisioning, Exar has the tools, technology and knowledge to get you to market quickly. Our system oriented solution minimizes development and verification time with a highly integrated hardware, Application Specific Standard Product (ASSP) and software offering, combined with comprehensive documentation and a support team that is experienced in the SONET/SDH equipment space.
The solution for products with fixed configurations is Exar's MicroManager™ Software. With this purpose-built solution, learning time and configuration debugging time are essentially eliminated. While the customer platform is being designed, Exar configures and tests the device in the customer configuration using the Exar reference platform. The MicroManager solution is then delivered as two "C" files, requiring less than 64K of RAM on the end system. The customer solution simply needs to make one function call to completely configure the selected Exar component for operation in the desired configuration. A typical interval from hardware in lab to traffic flowing is less than a week.
To help you with your hardware design, Exar provides a complete reference design and a list of complimentary components known to be compatible and easily supported by our software. Since each custom MicroManager solution is developed and fully tested on our reference design platform, any issues that may arise can be quickly investigated and resolved at Exar by our support team.
For simple, media conversion applications requiring limited end-user configuration, use a simple, highly developed solution and get to market faster and cheaper!
