MaxLinear, Inc. announced the market availability of its latest generation of single-port 1G Ethernet PHYs, complementing its already robust Ethernet portfolio. The new family is available in consumer and industrial variants and addresses a wide range of applications such as gateways, routers, industrial PCs, media converters, and SGMII to RGMII bridges. Green power features like IEEE, Wake on LAN, and link down power saving align with consumers' environmental concerns by reducing power consumption during idle times.

Additionally, features such as support for jumbo frames, auto MDI/MDI-X, auto polarization detection and correction, and Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) collectively contribute to a and power-efficient Ethernet communication solution, giving consumers the confidence to meet their connectivity needs while maintaining design flexibility. Furthermore, the extended loop length exceeding the standard 100m specified in IEEE802.3 offers consumers greater reach for their network connections. The single power supply with internal DCDC simplifies power management, and the compatibility with various voltage levels (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V) ensures ease of integration into different systems. The inclusion of advanced features like SyncE, dual media support, and industrial temperature range further extends the usability of this product family, making it suitable for advanced industrial applications.

Variscite, a leading System on Module (SoM) designer and manufacturer in the embedded market, selected MaxLinear's new MXL8611x 1G Ethernet PHYs for deployment in their extensive SoM portfolio.
