MXL86110I-AQB-R

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MXL86110I-AQB-R is a single-port Gigabit Ethernet PHY transceiver from MaxLinear, designed for industrial temperature ranges. It supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T standards over twisted pair interfaces. The device features an RGMII MAC interface and operates on a single 3.3 V power supply enabled by an internal DC/DC converter. Key electrical parameters include a minimum operating voltage of 2.97 V and a maximum of 3.63 V. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The component is housed in a QFN-40 package and delivers data rates up to 1 Gb/s.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T with full-duplex operation at all speeds and half-duplex at lower speeds.
• Integrates an internal DC/DC converter allowing single 3.3 V supply operation with minimal external components.
• Includes cable diagnostic capabilities for open, short, and loop length detection, plus auto down-speed for faulty cables.
• Features Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support and Wake-on-LAN functionality for reduced power consumption.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial Ethernet nodes requiring wide temperature tolerance
• Single-port Gigabit copper network interfaces
• Low-power embedded networking systems

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AQB-R' against official MaxLinear documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure the industrial grade variant meets the required thermal constraints for the target environment. Cross-reference the datasheet for exact pinout compatibility during PCB layout finalization.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this model when an industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) is mandatory for the application. Choose the MXL86110 series over the MXL86111 if only RGMII connectivity is needed, as the latter includes integrated SGMII/Fiber interfaces. Consider the QFN-40 footprint constraints relative to available board space.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MxL86110/MxL86111 family of advanced single-port Gigabit Ethernet PHYs. These devices are engineered for small footprints and low bill-of-materials costs. The 'I' suffix denotes the industrial temperature rating, distinguishing it from commercial variants like the MXL86110C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

MXL86110C-AQB-R: Commercial temperature version; omit if industrial range is required. MXL86111I-AQB-R: Includes integrated SGMII/Fiber interface; verify if additional media conversion features are necessary or if they add unnecessary complexity.
