MILPITAS, CA and FREMONT, CA -- July 26, 2000 -- Exar Corporation has
named Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing as its fiscal year 2000 supplier
of the year for achieving Exar's highest ratings in the areas of quality,
reliability, customer service, on-time delivery and cost. Chartered is a
second-time winner of the award, having also been named supplier of the year
for Exar's fiscal year 1998.

- Exar has also recognized Chartered with two other awards, the Supplier
Partnership of the Year and Supplier Task Team of the Year. The awards are

service and support and the ability to provide solutions to ad-hoc
situations that can impact wafer delivery times.

- Donald L. Ciffone, president and CEO of Exar, placed the awards in
context of the company's total quality system, saying, "Without the help and
cooperation of our suppliers, we could not achieve our goal of totally
satisfying the requirements of our customers. Chartered's team has exceeded
our requirements time and again, demonstrating their commitment to our
performance criteria."
"Mutual success is the core of any valued long-term relationship in our
industry," said Michael Rekuc, president of Chartered's Americas region. "This
