Business Wire
MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of integrated
radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal integrated circuits for
broadband communication applications, today announced that ARRIS
Group Inc., a global communications technology company, has
selected the MxL261 dual-wideband tuner + quad demodulator for a
new family of DOCSIS® 3.0 consumer premise equipment (CPE).
The MxL261 is a unique dual-wideband tuner, quad QAM demodulator
digital cable front-end chip with the ability to capture eight
channels in two independent 100MHz input frequency bands located
anywhere in the cable spectrum.
ARRIS is using the MxL261 in a full range of eight-channel
DOCSIS 3.0 CPE including, the TG862 Wireless Gateway, the TM822
E-MTA, the TM804 four-line E-MTA, and the CM820 cable modem. The
ARRIS Touchstone CPE products is a portfolio of solutions that
support cable operators as they develop services for their upgraded
DOCSIS 3.0 markets. This line of products incorporates data-only
modems, two and four-line E-MTAs, and integrated wireless voice and
data modems. Several of the telephony-enabled products are equipped
with battery back-up for emergency use during a power outage and
diagnostic tools for remote fault detection for inside wiring,
off-hook instances, or network challenges that may affect a
subscriber’s experience. These features help cable operators ensure
that they are providing the best quality service to their
subscribers.
The MxL261 is based on MaxLinear’s low-power digital CMOS
process-based RF and mixed-signal technology. It is a single-die,
global standards digital cable front-end chip with an integrated
low noise amplifier, two-way splitter, two 100MHz wideband tuners,
four QAM demodulators and a four-channel wide intermediate
frequency (IF) output. The MxL261 delivers ultra-low power at less
than 175mW per channel in full eight-channel mode. The low-power
consumption and the power control flexibility of the chip enable
ARRIS battery-backed voice products to match time and standby time
requirements with the lowest battery cell configuration. The MxL261
die is mounted in a 7mm x 7mm, 48-pin QFN package.
“We are pleased to be working with ARRIS on many of its flagship
DOCSIS 3.0 products,” said Kishore Seendripu, MaxLinear’s CEO. “The
ARRIS commitment to excellence and competitiveness fits perfectly
with MaxLinear’s ideals, and the MxL261 provides a solution that
meets their exacting standards for performance, quality and
cost.”
“Our new line of DOCSIS CPE offers the very high levels of
quality and performance that our customers always expect from us,”
said Derek Elder, SVP & General Manager of the ARRIS Touchstone
CPE business unit. “The MxL261 helps to meet those high standards,
and the level of integration achieved in the chip plays a big part
in making our 8 channel products competitive in the market.”
The MxL261 is shipping in high volume. Please contact
