88LX2740A0-NYC2C000

Overview

The MaxLinear 88LX2741A0-NYC2I000 is an analog front-end (AFE) integrated circuit designed for G.hn Wave-2 networking applications. It supports powerline, coaxial cable, and phone line physical media. The device operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. It utilizes a 4mm x 4mm QFN-28 package. The component provides programmable transmit and receive paths optimized for each medium. It works in conjunction with baseband processors such as the 88LX5153 or 88LX5153A.

Feature Summary

• Supports multiple wired media including powerline, coaxial cable, and twisted-pair phone lines
• Provides programmable transmit and receive signal paths
• Optimized for G.hn Wave-2 standard compliance

Applications

• Home Networking Gateways
• Broadband Routers
• Set-Top Boxes (STBs)
• WiFi Extenders

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm temperature rating and package type. Ensure compatibility with the selected digital baseband processor for the target application. Confirm environmental ratings and lead-free status requirements prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this AFE when multi-medium support is required for G.hn Wave-2 designs. It pairs with baseband units like the 88LX5153. Consider the industrial temperature variant if operation below 0°C is necessary. Verify footprint compatibility with the system PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MaxLinear G.hn Wave-2 product family. It serves as the analog interface for high-speed networking over existing wiring infrastructure. It complements digital baseband processors to form complete PHY solutions for consumer and broadband markets.

Replacement Considerations

The 88LX2730 is a similar AFE but lacks industrial temperature range support. The 88LX2720 is limited to powerline applications only. Verify pinout and software configuration compatibility before substituting.
