             NVE Device Named Product of the Month by ChipCenter
        "An extremely nice product that will sell extremely well...."

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.--April 16, 2001--A new network transceiver from NVE
Corporation (OTBB: NVEC) has been named "Product of the Month" for April 2001
by ChipCenter LLC.

ChipCenter Senior Technical Editor Paul McGoldrick said in his review of the
new NVE IL485: "The Profibus market is huge, much larger than RS-485, and many
devices are working in extremely harsh, industrial conditions and this
isolated interface [the NVE device] is a much-needed product, particularly
because of the speeds it is capable of passing.... With a standard SOIC-16
package the part is easy to lay out and the isolation technology that is
used...gives a very low power consumption (725 mW dissipation max. with a rail
of 4.5 to 5.5 V.) There is both current limiting and thermal shutdown
protection. The isolation specifications are voltage rated at 2500 V (for one
minute) with a barrier impedance greater than 100 trillion [ohms] with 7 pF
across it. An extremely nice product that will sell extremely well. A
companion part, the IL485W adds an additional uncommitted isolation channel."
