IBC 2012 – MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading
provider of integrated radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal
integrated circuits for broadband communications applications,
today announced that ARRIS Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARRS), a global
communications technology company, has selected the MxL265 and
MxL267 Full-Spectrum Capture (FSCTM) digital cable front-end
receivers for a new family of DOCSIS 3.0 consumer premises
equipment (CPE).
Announced this past March, MaxLinear’s MxL265 and MxL267 devices
are capable of simultaneously receiving any combination of 16 or 24
DOCSIS channels, respectively, located arbitrarily inside the cable
spectrum.
Delivering up to 1Gb/s downstream speeds, MaxLinear’s family of
FSC receivers replaces several discrete single-channel cable tuners
with just one broadband multi-channel receiver. This significantly
reduces the power consumption in ARRIS next-generation gateways,
minimizes printed circuit board footprint, eliminates expensive
external RF components and simplifies the design of ARRIS
platforms.
ARRIS will demonstrate next-generation DOCSIS 3.0 products using
the MxL265 and MxL267 at the IBC 2012 show in Amsterdam, which runs
from Sept. 7 - 11. ARRIS will be located in Hall 1, Booth D-41 at
the RAI Amsterdam. The demonstration will feature ARRIS 16- and
24-bonded downstream devices delivering throughput speeds up to 840
Mb/s.
Meeting the ever-increasing consumer demand for media and data
content, ARRIS gateways provide cable operators the additional
channel tuning capacity and downstream bandwidth required to enable
rich multimedia and high data content services at home.
“We are pleased to be working with ARRIS on its flagship DOCSIS
3.0 products,” said Brian Sprague, MaxLinear’s Vice President and
General Manager for Broadband and Consumer Products. “Video gateway
and set-top box markets are evolving rapidly as cable providers
strive to meet burgeoning consumer demand for bandwidth and
content. We are looking forward to supporting ARRIS with our FSC
receivers to facilitate more efficient distribution of video and IP
services, faster download speeds, lower power and lower cost
designs.”
“Our upcoming series of 16- and 24-channel DOCSIS CPE offers the
high levels of quality and performance that our customers always
expect from us,” said Derek Elder, Senior Vice President and
General Manager of the ARRIS CPE business unit. “The MxL265 and
MxL267 help to meet those high standards, and the level of
integration achieved in the chips plays a big part in making our
next-generation products competitive in the market.”
Technical Highlights
The MxL265 and MxL267 are based on MaxLinear’s industry-leading
low-power 40nm CMOS process technology. They each offer a
monolithic digital cable front-end with integrated LNA and signal
conditioning functions combined with a Full-Spectrum Capture
receiver.
In full 16-channel receive mode of operation, the MxL265
consumes less than 110 milliwatts (mW) per channel. Likewise, the
MxL267 consumes less than 90 mW per channel in full 24-channel
receive mode. The extremely low power consumption of these devices
eliminates the need for expensive heat removal components such as
fans, heat shields and heat sinks inside customer equipment.
Both the MxL265 and MxL267 support remote spectrum analyzer
functions that report network health and performance parameters,
which can be used by cable operators in managing and
troubleshooting their networks. This innovative feature allows
cable operators to avoid costly technician visits to customer homes
by remotely monitoring and diagnosing potential problems with
customer premises equipment.
Further enhancing the low-power benefits of the MxL265 and
MxL267, each device supports a wake-on-WAN capability, which allows
the device to wake up a dormant host processor upon receipt of a
unique packet from the cable network. This feature eliminates the
need to keep customer premises equipment fully powered up during
inactivity. The power control flexibility of MaxLinear's FSC
devices enables compliance with the requirements of Energy Star,
and the European Code of Conduct for Digital TV Services and
Broadband Equipment for both standby and operating modes.
The MxL265 16-channel and the MxL267 24-channel DOCSIS 3.0
devices are pin-to-pin compatible in a standard 7mm X 7mm QFN
package. Customer samples of the MxL265 and MxL267 are available
now with volume production in Q3 2012. Please contact MaxLinear for
ordering information.
