MxL236 Technical Highlights

The MxL236 supports upstream frequencies up to 204MHz with any combination of OFDM and QAM channels with a combined output power of up to 65dBmV at the cable connector. Under most installed scenarios, the device can dissipate less than 1.5W. As cable operators increase upstream data rates to offer more symmetrical services to consumers, reducing power dissipation in the front-end simplifies thermal design efforts and reduces heat mitigation costs. Using only a single 3.3V supply, the MxL236 allows manufacturers to eliminate the 5V supply from their gateway design entirely, further simplifying layout and reducing system cost.

The MxL277 DOCSIS 3.1 receiver is available in production quantities in a standard 10mm X 10mm QFN package. The MxL236 is available in production quantities in a standard 7mm x 7mm QFN package. Please contact MaxLinear for ordering information.
