MaxLinear's MxL5007T Silicon Tuner Chosen for Stylish Digital Stream MUON Portable LCD Television

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CARLSBAD, CA, January 6 / MARKET WIRE/ --

MaxLinear, Inc., a fabless semiconductor
company at the forefront of developing all-CMOS broadband radio frequency
(RF) ICs for consumer markets, announced that its revolutionary MxL5007T
digital terrestrial silicon tuner has been designed into the Digital Stream
MUON ATSC portable LCD television.

The sleek MUON TV allows consumers to take full advantage of high quality
U.S. over-the-air digital broadcast television (i.e., ATSC) without a
converter box. Its compact size and exceptional picture quality create an
enjoyable viewing experience almost anywhere.

"Digital Stream, a leading supplier of ATSC TV products sold in major
retail outlets, has exacting standards for performance and quality," said
Kishore Seendripu, Chief Executive Officer of MaxLinear. "MaxLinear's
silicon tuner exceeds this high bar surpassing all A/74 ATSC receiver
performance guidelines, including the challenging Taboo Channel
requirements. In fact, the MxL5007T achieves this performance at a very low
cost and with extremely low power consumption. No other silicon tuner
offers this superior combination of performance, power consumption and
price. This is yet another example of how our digital CMOS RF products
enable our customers to offer highly competitive, differentiated end
products with the best performance, lowest power, and smallest size in the
market."

With its bright, 7-inch wide screen display, integrated antenna, small
size, light weight, and long battery life, the MUON TV is perfect for
digital TV viewing nearly everywhere. You never have to miss your favorite
show, sporting event, or pressing news story with the MUON TV at your side.
At home you can attach an external antenna or coaxial cable and plug in AC
power so the MUON TV can provide continuous, high quality digital TV
viewing enjoyment in areas like a kitchen, den, bedroom or garage where
standard TVs can't fit.

"The MUON TV is a breakthrough in size, weight, and long battery life. The
exceptional digital picture quality, innovative user interface, and
contemporary styling make it the ultimate portable ATSC TV for everyone,"
said Ju H. Kim, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Stream. "Making this
breakthrough would not be possible without the ultra low power, small size
and footprint, and superior performance of MaxLinear's MxL5007T silicon
tuner."

The MxL5007T is a multi-standard digital terrestrial silicon tuner and
MaxLinear's third generation true digital CMOS silicon tuner. It provides
unparalleled low power, small size and high performance. MaxLinear also
offers the MxL7001, the world's smallest silicon tuner, used in Japanese
cell phones for ISDB-T Segment-1 and Segment-3 mobile television. Both
products are shipping in high volume and are available for purchase. You
can see the MUON TV and other products based on these chips with an
invitation to MaxLinear's suite at CES. Please contact your local MaxLinear
salesperson for more information or to make an appointment. Contact
