MaxLinear Launches MxL9142 45Gbaud Linear Transimpedance Amplifier for Telecom and Data Center Coherent Optical Systems

  • The MxL9142’s frequency response, low noise, and low power dissipation deliver optimal 45Gbaud intradyne coherent receiver (ICR) performance

CARLSBAD, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — March 16, 2017 — MaxLinear Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal integrated circuits for the connected home and wired and wireless infrastructure markets, today announced the MxL9142, a dual-channel 45Gbaud linear coherent transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for high-bandwidth dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) coherent applications.

The MxL9142 is a dual-channel coherent TIA supporting high data rate of 45Gbaud for 200Gbps / 400Gbps optical networking systems. Programmable channel bandwidth and an input equalizer allow receiver performance to be fine-tuned to work with different photo detectors (PD). The device offers industry leading linearity, low noise, and low power dissipation, which makes it the ideal TIA to use for next-generation ICR modules with high performance requirements.

The MxL9142 supports the low differential output swings required for next-generation low-power coherent DSPs. The high transimpedance gain is ideally suited for metro networks, which experience greater signal loss due to the prevalence of older fiber and multiple interconnects.

“100Gbps coherent system deployments are moving full-speed ahead, driven by the continued growth in bandwidth consumption in data centers and telecom networks. 45Gbaud technology, combined with higher modulation like DP-32QAM, can deliver up to 400Gbps data rates in a single wavelength,” said Bird Yuan, MaxLinear’s Director of Marketing for High Speed Interconnect Products. “MaxLinear now offers a complete coherent TIA product family to address the high-performance needs of next-generation high bandwidth coherent receivers.”

The MxL9142’s pin-out assignment and functionality are fully compatible with MaxLinear's MxL9105 32Gbaud coherent TIA, which allows one common package design for both 32Gbaud and 45Gbaud ICRs.
