- New MxL9154 and MxL9124 transimpedance
amplifiers join DSP SoCs to provide a complete solution for 400Gbps
PAM4 network equipment for intra-data center applications
MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE:MXL), a leading provider of radio
frequency (RF), analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for the
connected home, wired and wireless infrastructure, and industrial
and multimarket applications, today announced the MxL9154 and
MxL9124 quad transimpedance amplifiers (TIA) as new members of its
Telluride family of components for linear PAM4 400Gbps network
systems.
Telluride products enable system vendors to develop a 400Gbps
optical interconnect module in a compact form factor for
intra-datacenter applications. MaxLinear has already launched the
first Telluride products, the MxL935XX family of DSP SoCs with
integrated electro-absorption modulated laser (EA-EML) drivers. The
MxL935XX products are the industry's first 400Gbps DSP SoC using
the 100G per wavelength technology.
The MxL9154 offers extremely low input referred noise
performance of 11pA/sqrt(Hz) while consuming very low power of
200mW/channel. The device offers a bandwidth of >25GHz including
the photodiode (PD) and satisfies the stringent 53Gbaud PAM4
requirements by achieving 3 percent linearity up to overload
conditions. The TIA also offers receive signal strength indicator
(RSSI) outputs for all four channels. The MxL9154 is an ideal
complement to the MxL9354X PAM4 DSP SoCs, which when shipped
together deliver best-in-class performance for both power and
cost.
The MxL9124 TIA offers the same functionality in a lower
bandwidth option that is suitable for 50Gbps PAM4 applications. The
TIAs can be paired with PIN PDs or an externally biased avalanche
photodiode (APD) to achieve different performance and reach
requirements. Together, the MxL9154 and MxL9124 deliver the
bandwidth and noise performance for a range of applications
including 200Gbps DR4, 200Gbps FR4, 200Gbps LR4, 400Gbps DR4,
400GbpsFR4 and 400Gbps LR8.
“PAM4-based 100Gbps wavelength technology is emerging as the
best option for 400Gbps networks for intra datacenter applications.
At these higher data rates, it is extremely important that all
high-speed components be designed and optimized together to offer
the best overall performance,” said Will Torgerson, MaxLinear Vice
President & General Manager. “The MxL9154 and MxL9124 TIAs have
been developed in conjunction with the MxL9354X PAM4 DSP SoC for
seamless optimization between the components.”
The MxL9154 features an I2C interface that facilitates control
of its performance directly from the MxL9354X PAM4 DSP SoC. With a
die size of 3.2mm x 1.6mm, the TIA fits into quad-ROSA size
restrictions required for the QSFP-DD and OSFP module form
factors.

the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Forward-looking statements include, among others,
statements concerning the MxL9154 and statements concerning or
implying the performance of MaxLinear’s technologies, their
potential use cases, and the potential impact of these technologies
on our business and future operating results. 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. In particular, our
future operating results are substantially dependent on our
assumptions about market trends and conditions and our expectations
with respect to recently completed acquisitions, including our
ability to integrate our recently completed acquisition of Exar
Corporation. Additional risks and uncertainties arising from our
operations generally and our recently completed acquisitions
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;
indemnification obligations of Exar arising from a recent
divestiture; the impact on our financial condition of acquisition
indebtedness and cash usage arising from the Exar transaction; 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
our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
including the information under the caption “Risk Factors” in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
