California-based company MaxLinear has announced the availability of its latest family of single-port 1G Ethernet PHYs, expanding its Ethernet portfolio. These new transceivers, including models MxL86110C, MxL86110I, MxL86111C, and MxL86111I, are designed for both industrial and consumer applications. The Ethernet end-market is expected to grow from $11 billion to $15.8 billion between 2023 and 2028, making this an opportune time for the launch of these new products.
“We’re excited to strengthen our long-standing partnership with MaxLinear by incorporating their 1G PHY,” says Ofer Austerlitz, VP Business Development and Sales at Variscite, a leading System on Module (SoM) designer and manufacturer. The new Ethernet PHYs will be deployed in Variscite’s SoM portfolio, providing customers with high-quality products that meet industrial-grade requirements at an optimal price point.
The new Ethernet transceivers offer a range of speeds and interface options, such as 10BASE-Te, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T, enabling customization for different network environments. Additionally, they support half- and full-duplex modes, optimizing network performance. The transceivers also feature advanced capabilities like SyncE, dual media support, and an extended loop length, making them suitable for advanced industrial applications.
Designed with flexibility and environmental concerns in mind, MaxLinear’s new Ethernet family offers compact packages and reduced power consumption. Green power features like EEE, Wake on LAN, and link down power saving contribute to a power-efficient Ethernet communication solution. Furthermore, these transceivers support jumbo frames, auto MDI/MDI-X, auto polarity detection and correction, and Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), maintaining design flexibility while meeting consumer connectivity needs.
