MaxLinear Introduces MxL9103, a 28Gbaud Linear TIA for 100Gbps/400Gbps Fiber-Optic Data Center Applications
MaxLinear Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of radio frequency (RF)
and mixed-signal integrated circuits for cable and satellite broadband
communications, the connected home, and for data center, metro, and
long-haul fiber networks, announced the MxL9103, a single-channel 28Gbps
linear transimpedance amplifier (TIA (News - Alert)) targeting low-power
pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM-4) and discrete multi-tone (DMT) optical
transceivers for data center transceiver designs.
The MxL9103 features best-in-class power consumption of 140mW, which
makes it ideally suited for power-sensitive data center designs. The
excellent total harmonic distortion (THD) performance and ultra-wide
bandwidth supports the linearity required for higher-order-modulation of
PAM-4 and DMT (News - Alert), which enables either 50Gbps or 100Gbps data rates on a
single lambda (wavelength). The high dynamic range of the IC ensures the
best signal reception quality.
The MxL9103 provides automatic-gain-control function for simplified
interface design and system control scheme between the TIA and the
digital signal processor (DSP). It also integrates
received-signal-strength-indicator (RSSI), output shutdown, bandwidth
control and photodetector bias voltage functions on-chip.
The TIA is well suited for SFP28 low-power optical transceiver module
designs.
"Low power consumption and support of advanced modulation schemes make
the MxL9103 optimal for next-generation, low-cost data center
transceivers," said Brendan Walsh, MaxLinear's Vice President of
Marketing for Infrastructure Products. "This device expands our
high-speed optical interconnect product family, making MaxLinear a
one-stop solution vendor for 100Gbps+ transceiver designs."
Technical Highlights The MxL9103 features:
-
140mW typical power consumption
-
Typical 3% total harmonic distortion (THD)
-
Best-in-class dynamic range
-
Photodetector bias
-
Bandwidth (News - Alert) control
-
Receiver signal strength indicator (RSSI)
