- The MxL9162 TIA enables next-generation
400Gbps / 600Gbps coherent long-haul, metro and data-center
interconnect receiver designs with industry-leading RF performance,
advanced features and low power dissipation
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
introduced the MxL9162, a 64Gbaud linear coherent transimpedance
amplifier (TIA) for next-generation 400Gbps/600Gbps dense wave
division multiplexing (DWDM) coherent systems.
The MxL9162 features best-in-class RF system performance
including over 40GHz channel bandwidth, low total harmonic
distortion (THD), input referred noise density, power dissipation
and channel crosstalk. The device exceeds the high-performance
requirements of next-generation 64Gbaud high bandwidth (HB)
micro-intradyne coherent receiver (ICR) designs for long-haul,
metro and datacenter interconnect applications.
The MxL9162 is a dual-channel TIA with a per-channel data rate
of 64Gbaud. Its excellent THD and optimal channel
signal-to-noise-ratio enable a higher order of signal modulation
such as 64-QAM that is required to support 400Gbps/600Gbps single
wavelength data rates. An integrated photo detector bias and SPI
interface with integrated high-resolution DAC/ADC greatly
simplifies the peripheral circuit design, reduces module
bill-of-material cost and minimizes substrate real estate.
Ultra-low input referred noise density and low power consumption
make it the best option for next-generation HB micro-ICR
designs.
Additionally, the integrated equalizer function with
programmable gain peaking profile allows receiver sensitivity to be
optimized with PDs and package designs from a wide range of
manufacturers. The MxL9162 also supports the low differential
output swings required for the next generation of low-power
coherent DSPs.
MaxLinear will demonstrate the MxL9162 64Gbaud coherent TIA at
OFC 2017, which will take place at the Los Angeles Convention
Center on March 21 to 23, 2017. The company will be in stand
#2471.
“Today, mainstream 32Gbaud-based 100Gbps/200Gbps DWDM coherent
systems bring a great balance of performance and cost to optical
networks. For telecom and data center operators to further increase
data capacity, and to reduce cost-per-bit, coherent technology
supporting higher bandwidth and a higher order of modulation is
required,” said Bird Yuan, MaxLinear Director of Marketing, High
Speed Interconnects. “We believe MaxLinear’s high-speed
interconnect component technology delivers the best performance and
enables next-generation high bandwidth coherent deployments.”
Availability
The MxL9162 will begin sampling in the second quarter of 2017.

Cautionary Note About Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within
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 MxL9162. 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
