88LX5153A0-BUU2I000

Overview

The MaxLinear 88LX5153A0-BUU2I000 is a G.hn Wave-2 digital baseband processor designed for coaxial, phone line, and powerline networking. It supports ITU-T G.9960/61/62/63/64 standards with a maximum throughput of 1.7 Gbps on coaxial and phone lines, and 1.0 Gbps on powerlines. The device features RGMII (1G) and SGMII (1G/2.5G) interfaces. Operating within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, it utilizes a BGA-186 package measuring 10mm x 10mm.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed data transmission over coaxial cables, twisted-pair phone lines, and powerlines.
• Integrates G.hn PHY, DLL, embedded CPU, and memory for comprehensive network control.
• Provides flexible data interface options including RGMII and SGMII for varying host requirements.
• Includes end-to-end 128-bit AES CCMP encryption and LDPC forward error correction.

Applications

• Home Networking & Broadband Gateways
• Smart Building Security Systems
• Smart Grid and Smart Metering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official MaxLinear documentation to confirm the industrial temperature rating (-40°C to +70°C). Ensure compatibility with the required analog front-end, such as the 88LX2730 or 88LX2741, based on the target physical medium. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's environmental rating resources before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when industrial temperature operation is required for G.hn applications. The 'A' designation in the part number indicates the extended temperature range compared to commercial variants. Choose between pairing with the 88LX2730 for coax/phone or the 88LX2741 for multi-medium support depending on the specific deployment environment and hardware constraints.

Part Context

This unit belongs to the MaxLinear G.hn Wave-2 product family, which includes the 88LX5152 and 88LX5153 baseband processors. While functionally similar, the 88LX5153A variant specifically addresses industrial environments with its wider operating temperature range. It is designed to work alongside dedicated analog front-ends like the 88LX2720, 88LX2730, and 88LX2741.

Replacement Considerations

The 88LX5153A0-BUU2C000 serves as the commercial temperature equivalent. For broader medium support, consider the 88LX5152 paired with appropriate AFEs if only powerline is needed. Verify pinout and software compatibility with the Spirit SDK when transitioning between these baseband variants.
