- MxL9244’s frequency response,
best-in-class linearity and low power make it the ideal optical
modular driver for 45Gbaud transceiver designs; Transceiver design
performance is optimized when used with 45Gbaud MxL9142
transimpedance amplifier in an intradyne coherent receiver
MaxLinear Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of radio
frequency (RF) and mixed-signal integrated circuits for the
connected home and wired and wireless infrastructure markets, today
announced the MxL9244, a quad-channel linear Mach-Zehnder
(MZ) modulator driver for next-generation 200Gbps / 400Gbps
coherent systems.
The MxL9244 is designed for data center, long-haul and metro
telecom network systems. With its best-in-class total harmonic
distortion (THD) performance, the MxL9244 supports next-generation
linear DP-QPSK / DP-16QAM / DP-32QAM coherent transceiver designs
where component linearity and bandwidth performance is critical for
optimal optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) performance.
The MxL9244 features a serial peripheral interface (SPI) to
perform all control and monitoring functions, which greatly
simplifies module peripheral circuitry design. A programmable input
gain equalizer compensates for high frequency loss from the printed
circuit board (PCB) and the package. The MxL9244 can support up to
400Gbps data rate in a single wavelength when used with
higher-level modulation such as DP-32QAM.
The device also integrates broadband bias tee to maintain
optimal power dissipation. The MxL9244 is available in a small,
14mm x 9mm, SMT package that makes it ideal for the next-generation
CFP-DCO, CFP2-ACO or smaller form-factor module designs where high
face-plate density and minimized power dissipation are desired.
“A 45Gbaud coherent solution is appealing to both datacenter and
telecom operators as it not only offers longer reach capability for
200Gbps and higher long-haul transport, but also enables 400Gbps
data transport in a single wavelength,” said Bird Yuan, MaxLinear
Director of Marketing for High Speed Interconnect Products. “We
expect that the MxL9244’s leading optical modulator driver
performance – combined with the companion MxL9142 TIA - will have a
significant impact on the performance of emerging 200Gbps / 400Gbps
products.”
Availability
The MxL9244 samples will be available beginning in Q2 2017. More

the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements
concerning or implying future financial performance or trends and
growth opportunities affecting MaxLinear, including statements
related to the performance of MaxLinear’s MxL9244. These
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to
be materially different from any future results expressed or
implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are based on management’s current, preliminary
expectations and are subject to various risks and uncertainties.
The closing of recent acquisitions of wireless infrastructure
assets from Microsemi and Broadcom present particular risks
associated with our ability to integrate the acquired businesses,
and maintain relationships with employees, customers, and vendors.
In addition, our current expectations with respect to the size of
the available market and growth opportunities in future years are
subject to substantial management assumptions that are themselves
subject to material risks and uncertainties. Additional risks and
uncertainties that could affect our assumptions and expectations
with respect to the completed acquisitions that also generally
affect our business, operating results, financial condition, and
stock price, include, intense competition in our industry; our
dependence on a limited number of customers for a substantial
portion of our revenues; uncertainties concerning how end user
markets for our products will develop; potential uncertainties
arising from continued consolidation among cable television and
satellite operators in our target markets and continued
consolidation among competitors within the semiconductor industry
generally; our ability to develop and introduce new and enhanced
products on a timely basis and achieve market acceptance of those
products, particularly as we seek to expand outside of our historic
markets; potential decreases in average selling prices for our
products; risks relating to intellectual property protection and
the prevalence of intellectual property litigation in our industry,
including pending litigation against us by a third parties in the
United States District Court in Delaware and Superior Court of
California; our reliance on a limited number of third party
manufacturers; and our lack of long-term supply contracts and
dependence on limited sources of supply. In addition to these risks
and uncertainties, investors should review the risks and
uncertainties contained in MaxLinear’s filings with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2016 and our Current Reports on Form 8-K. All
forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this
cautionary statement. MaxLinear is providing this information as of
the date of this release and does not undertake any obligation to
