MaxLinear MxL93516 100G PAM4 DSP with EA-EML Integrated Driver

Feb. 20, 2020
It includes a monolithically integrated driver and supports an extended operating temperature range, enabling sub-3.5-W QSFP28 and SFP-DD 100G optical modules.
MaxLinear describes the MxL93516 as a highly integrated PAM4 DSP optimized for 100G per wavelength optical modules used in hyperscale data centers and wireless fronthaul applications. It includes a monolithically integrated driver and supports an extended operating temperature range, enabling sub-3.5-W QSFP28 and SFP-DD 100G optical modules.

Judge’s comment: “Integrated EML driver [is] important to remove size and cost for 100G/lambda solutions. Decent EQ/predistort as well.”
