MaxLinear's MxL86110 and MxL86111 transceivers are cutting-edge single-port Ethernet Gigabit copper PHYs that excel in enhancing network connectivity. The devices support 10BASE-Te, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T on the twisted pair interface, catering to diverse networking requirements. Furthermore, they boast low power consumption, a compact footprint, and a low RBOM, making them ideal for various networking applications.
MxL86110 is designed to support the RGMII MAC interface, while MxL86111 integrates an SGMII/100BASE-FX/1000BASE-X interface and supports RGMII or SGMII as the MAC interface and dual media, media converter, or RGMII to SGMII bridge applications. This versatility allows for seamless integration into different network setups, enhancing their overall flexibility.
One of the standout features of these transceivers is their support for energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE) for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T, contributing to reduced power consumption and environmental impact. Additionally, the devices offer further power-saving capabilities through Wake-on-LAN functionality and no-link detection, aligning with the growing focus on energy efficiency and sustainability in modern networking solutions.
The transceivers are packaged in a compact form factor (MxL86110: QFN40, MxL86111: QFN48) and can be operated from a single 3.3 V power supply, leveraging an integrated DC/DC converter with few external components. This design approach streamlines the integration process and enhances overall system efficiency.
For advanced applications, the industrial temperature range variants (MxL86110I and MxL86111I) open up possibilities for deployment in challenging environments. SyncE support, integrated SerDes, and the integrated SGMII/BASE-X interface of MxL86111 further expand the scope of applications, catering to a broad range of networking needs.
In summary, MaxLinear's MxL86110 and MxL86111 transceivers represent a significant advancement in network connectivity solutions, combining advanced features, energy efficiency, and versatile functionality to address the evolving demands of modern networking infrastructure.
