88LX2741A0-NYC2I000

Overview

The MaxLinear 88LX2741A0-NYC2I000 is an Analog Front End (AFE) component within the G.hn Wave-2 networking product family. It supports Powerline MIMO 100MHz, SISO 100MHz, Coaxial SISO 200MHz, and Phone Line SISO 200MHz/MIMO 100MHz profiles. The device operates over an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +70°C and utilizes a 4mm x 4mm QFN-28 package.

Feature Summary

• Monolithic integration of analog front-end circuitry optimized for multiple wired transmission media including powerlines, coaxial cables, and twisted-pair phone lines.
• Supports ITU-T G.hn Wave-2 standard compliance with specific profile configurations for various physical mediums.
• Designed for industrial-grade operation across extended ambient temperature ranges.

Applications

• Home Networking & Broadband Gateways
• Smart Buildings such as Smart Elevators and Door Security Systems
• Smart Grid and Smart Metering Infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the specific temperature grade and package variant. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding digital baseband processor, such as the 88LX5153 or 88LX5153A, for complete system functionality. Confirm environmental ratings and lead-free status through authorized distribution channels.

Selection Notes

Select this AFE when a single component must support mixed-media applications across powerline, coaxial, and phone line networks in industrial environments. It pairs with the 88LX5153/5153A baseband processors to enable flexible footprint-compatible designs. Consider the 88LX2720 or 88LX2730 if only a single medium type is required without the need for multi-medium flexibility.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MaxLinear G.hn Wave-2 product family, which provides high-speed networking capabilities over existing wired infrastructure. The family includes three Digital Baseband (DBB) options and three Analog Front End (AFE) options, allowing designers to mix and match components for consumer, broadband, industrial, and security segments.
