88LX2730A0-NYC2C000

Overview

The MaxLinear 88LX2730A0-NYC2C000 is a G.hn Wave-2 Analog Front End (AFE) designed for coaxial cable and twisted-pair phone line applications. It supports ITU-T G.9960/61/62/63/64 standards with a maximum net throughput of 1.7Gbps over both media types. The component operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and utilizes a 4mm x 4mm QFN-28 package.

Feature Summary

• ITU-T G.hn Wave-2 compliant architecture supporting multiple physical layer profiles
• Programmable transmit and receive paths optimized for coaxial and twisted-pair mediums
• Integrated LDPC forward error correction for robust performance in noisy environments
• Supports end-to-end 128-bit AES CCMP encryption for data security

Applications

• Home Networking & Broadband Gateways
• Coaxial Cable Modems and Routers
• Phone Line Twisted-Pair Network Adapters
• Smart Building Security Systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official MaxLinear documentation to confirm the exact temperature rating and package variant. Ensure compatibility with the paired baseband processor, such as the 88LX5153, for complete system integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's environmental rating resources before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this AFE when designing systems requiring support for both coaxial and twisted-pair phone lines within the commercial temperature range. It pairs with the 88LX5153 baseband processor to enable high-throughput networking. Consider the 88LX2741 if industrial temperature operation (-40°C to 70°C) or powerline support is required instead.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MaxLinear G.hn Wave-2 product family, which provides high-speed networking capabilities over wired mediums. It serves as the analog front end counterpart to digital baseband processors like the 88LX5152 and 88LX5153, enabling flexible mix-and-match configurations for consumer and broadband applications.

Replacement Considerations

The 88LX2741 is a compatible alternative that supports coaxial, phone line, and powerline applications with an extended industrial temperature range. The 88LX2720 is suitable if only powerline support is needed.
