- The highly integrated MxL93516 offers the industry’s lowest
power consumption as well as superior overall performance and cost,
making it ideal for DR1 optical modules
MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of radio
frequency (RF), analog, digital and mixed-signal integrated
circuits, today announced that uSenlight Corporation, a key ODM
developing high-speed, high-performance, reliable integrated
optical modules for datacenter, FTTx, optical networking and
CPRI/LTE applications, has selected the MxL93516 PAM4 DSP to
develop sub-3.5 watt 100G single lambda DR optical modules.

The MxL93516, MaxLinear’s second-generation Snowmass DSP,
enables sub-3.5W QSFP28 and SFP-DD 100G optical modules. Like the
first-generation, the MxL93516 offers a monolithically integrated
EA-EML laser driver that significantly reduces the overall optical
module BOM cost.
uSenlight’s new optical modules build upon the success of the
company’s current product offerings of 100G QSFP28 PSM4 and 100G
QSFP28 CWDM4 modules for data center connectivity. uSenlight’s
experience in data center transceiver design and its manufacturing
capabilities enable them to meet the growing demands of hyperscale
data center and wireless fronthaul customers.
“We are excited to see the adoption of our 100G PAM4 DSP by
uSenlight for their DR1 QSFP28 transceiver modules,” said Drew
Guckenberger, Vice President of MaxLinear’s Optical Interconnect
Group. “The low power, high level of integration and performance of
Snowmass DSPs enable companies like uSenlight to develop low power,
small form factor, 100G optical interconnects for next-generation
hyperscale data centers and wireless fronthaul applications.”
“MaxLinear’s MxL93516 PAM4 DSP with integrated EML driver offers
the highest level of integration and superior link-margin
performance in a low-power SoC,” said Dr. Charles Wu, President of
uSenlight Corporation. “The integration and performance of the
MxL93516 PAM4 DSP have enabled us to expand our portfolio by
developing 100Gbps optical interconnects for hyperscale datacenters
and wireless fronthaul applications.”
Technical Details
The MxL93516 is part of MaxLinear’s second-generation Snowmass
family of low-power, high-performance PAM4 DSP SoCs. The industry
leading family consists of the MxL93515 and MxL93516. The MxL93516
100G PAM4 DSP integrates an EA-EML driver with 1.8V peak-to-peak
single-ended swing. The MxL93515 offers a differential 800mV
peak-to-peak swing for non-EA-EML-based optics. These PAM4 DSPs
enable 100Gbps QSFP28 optical modules using 4*25G NRZ host
interface to 1*100G PAM4 optical interface and SFP-DD optical
modules using 2*50G PAM4 host interface to 1*100G PAM4 optical
interface.
MaxLinear has engineered a very high-performance DSP engine in
both the transmit and receive data paths. The resulting superior
link-margin enables single-lane 100Gbps optical wavelength
technology by mitigating many of the limitations of mass production
optical components.
The devices feature a comprehensive digital pre-distortion (DPD)
engine in the transmit direction to compensate for laser
non-linearity and to cancel packaging limitations that cause
reflections and bandwidth degradation at these extremely high
signal frequencies. On the receive path, the DSP includes an
auto-adaptive signal enhancement engine, which integrates a
continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE), automatic gain control
(AGC), a feed forward equalizer (FFE), and a decision feedback
equalizer (DFE).
