MaxLinear G.hn Digital Baseband Processors

MaxLinear G.hn Digital Baseband (DBB) Processors offer high-speed networking solutions over powerlines, phone lines/twisted pairs, and coaxial cables. These baseband processors can achieve physical data rates of up to 2Gbps. The G.hn DBB processors offer a maximum of 1.7Gbps throughput for coaxial cable and phone line (twisted pair) and 1Gbps maximum throughput for powerline performance. These DBB processors include G.hn physical layer, G.hn data link layer (DLL), and an embedded CPU for control and management purposes. The G.hn DBB processors also feature embedded memory and two ethernet interface options and are available in a 10mm x 10mm BGA-186 package.

The MaxLinear DBB processors support 200MHz coaxial, 200MHz phone line Single Input Single Output (SISO), 100MHz phone line Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), and 100MHz powerline MIMO. These DBB processors feature fast net throughput, end-to-end 128-bit AES CCMP encryption, and Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) forward error correction. Typical applications include consumer, broadband, industrial, and security segments.
