I've got an Exar databook, but I'm afraid it's dated 1992, and
everything in it is XR-xxx or XR-xxxx (occasionally with a single
letter in front of the xxx). The XR-22xx devices are all phase-lock
loops or VCOs, the XR-9080 is a "frequency synthesiser, data
synchronizer/1,7 RLL ENDEC" in a 52-pin QFP package. Other XR-90xx
devices seem to all be related to disk heads; they're preamps, filters,
samplers, and pulse detectors.

The XR-9050 seems to be an older simpler version of that. It's a
28-pin SOIC or PLCC described as a "24 Mbit/sec Data
synchronization/1,7 RLL ENDEC", "faster than similar bipolar devices".
 Could your 22-908-03 be something to do with a hard drive controller?
